in this episode Laura and I discuss:

  • Tip 1: Write with “The Steven Spielberg” Test in mind. Could a movie director can bring your words to life?
  • Tip 2: Journal everything you see and hear based on the details, no matter where you are.  
  • Tip 3: Write about real people with kindness or change key details.   
  • When can you take artistic liberty vs. when are you making a false claim?
  • The important difference between “copywriting” and “copyrighting”  
  • Why Laura defines copywriting as all of the words you use for your business
  • The legal side of copyrighting and why Lisa believes it creates an energetic boundary
