24. #LiveOutLoud Rules to Live By
Make them FEEL
something, then
take action.
GET YOUR
AUDIENCE TO
REACT
The harder it is for you
to communicate the
goal, the harder it is for
your audience to give
and care.
K.I.S.S.
Tell your audience why
YOU care about this
cause, and why they
should too.
PASSION
for you to break
the rules! 😉
PASSION
OPENS THE
DOORS...
