Speaker:

if you care for what you do, you’ll always have more interesting things to

Speaker:

say than you've got time to say them.

Speaker:

Of course speeding up is not an option if only because when times

Speaker:

eventually up, you still won't have told me everything despite speeding up.

Speaker:

Now here's a thought.

Speaker:

If we can't tell them everything anyway why not turn this into a feature?

Speaker:

Let's slow down and spend all of our time on one thing, just

Speaker:

one thing and make it the most interesting thing of your content.

Speaker:

So that we can invest all of our time to make our audience see that

Speaker:

this is indeed super interesting, super relevant and super important.

Speaker:

Using that approach, we will not be able to tell them

Speaker:

everything we could tell them.

Speaker:

But by making them care for what we did tell them we achieved

Speaker:

something way more important.

Speaker:

We bought us more time.

Speaker:

If we manage to make them care, they will beg us to continue the conversation.

Speaker:

They might even invite us to a follow up meeting with more in-depth conversations.

Speaker:

So, when time is scarce, and it always is scarce, then don't just

Speaker:

fill it up but use it wisely.
