Ryan Ebner is a very good copywriter and director (that's his Boba Fett spot at the bottom of the post). I’ve worked with him peripherally, but I can’t say I really know him. But I’d been around him enough to mention it when I met his old boss Mike Shine. Mike had a lot of good things to say about Ryan. But there was one thing he said that really stayed with me:
“He works fast.”
It had never occurred to me that working fast would be something to shoot for.
But think about it.
How often do you stare at your screen waiting for inspiration to arrive?
How long to you stare at your blank notepad, waiting for something to happen?
How many times have you idly surfed the web because the deadline was a couple weeks away?
My guess is Ryan doesn’t do any of those things. My guess is Ryan works fast because he works.
So get to work. Fast.
