The Only Response That Really Matters
What’s covered in this learning:
How do you know if your sentence is really your One Compelling Sentence? Testing, testing, testing… and in testing, there is only one kind of person you should listen to for feedback, and only one response you are looking for.

Here’s the PDF workbook with the full teaching and exercise. When you get to the exercise, you may want watch the video. It will reinforce the reading, after which you will be guided through the exercise.
2. Watch The Only Response That Really Matters video
Here’s the video! It was recorded in HD, so if it isn’t loading quickly for you, or keeps stopping, click the “HD” in the lower right. That turns the HD off (you can click it again to turn it back on).
At the point where I guide you through the exercise, you’ll want to pause it as often as you want to give yourself the time you need.
Your assignment:
- Read the PDF workbook.
- Watch the video.

You might find it helpful to open up a Google Doc, or another file, or even in a paper notebook (gasp!) and answer the questions there, so you can track your progress.
