“Always strive for the best, but don’t let the perfect become the enemy of the good (as Voltaire almost said!)”

“Make friends with other copywriters. They are a never-ending spring of knowledge, guidance, advice and support when you need it.”

“Copywriters are continually learning and honing their craft; none of us know it all.”

“Life is too short and your job takes up too much of that time to be doing something that bores you.”

“Don’t undersell yourself. If you have the skills, you should be paid fairly for them.”

“Writer’s block is an early symptom of burnout. Lack of creativity, lack of inspiration – they’re terminal for a writer.”

“Throw yourself at it! Join meetup groups and talk to people. This was especially valuable advice when I was just starting out.”

“Always get on the plane. Always go to where something might be waiting for you.”

“My job is to translate the client’s thoughts into a message their audience will believe in and respond to.”

“You are not a tree. If you don’t like where you are, change it.”

“Please don’t work for free. It is unlikely to lead to great things and you’re telling people your work has no monetary value.”

“Don’t marry a wimp. Having a partner who understands your ambitions is invaluable.”
