It's much easier to be convincing if you care about your topic. Figure out what's important to you about your message and speak from the heart.

A doctor is advertised by the bodies he cures. My business is advertised by the minds I stimulate. And let me tell you that the book business is different from other trades. People don't know they want books. I can see just by looking at you that you...
