HOW TO IMPROVE THE BUSINESS WRITING:

Business writing is full of industry- specific buzzword and acronyms.While these terms are sometimes unavoidable and can occasionally be helpful as shortland,they often indicate lazy or cluttered thinking.Throw in too many , and your reader will asume you are on autopilot or worse, not understand what you're saying.Writers often mistakenly beleive using a big word when a simple one will do is a sign of intelligence.It's not.

THINK BEFORE YOU WRITE:

Before you put pen to paper or hands to keyboard,consider what you want to say,

          "The mistake of many people make is they start writing prematurely"

They work out the thoughts as they're writing,which makes their writing less structured,meandering and repititive.You should ask your self : What should my audience know or think after reading these email,proposal,or Report? If the answer isn't immediately clear,you're moving too quickly.

     "Step back and spend more time collecting your thought"

BE DIRECT

Make your point right up front.Many people find that the writing styleand structure they developed in school doesn't work as well in the business world.

"One of the great diseases of business writing is postpointing the messageto the middle part of the writing"

By succinctly presenting your main idea first ,you save your reader time and sharpen your argument before diving into the bulk of your writing.When writing longor memos and proposals.If your opener is no good ,then the whole peice of writing will be no good.

READ WHAT YOU WRITE?

Put your self in your reader's shoes.Is your point clear and well structured? Are the sentences straightward and concise? and then reading passage out loud.

"That's where those flaws reveal themselves: The gap in your arguements , the clunky sentence ,the section that's two paragraphs too long"

Don't be afraid to ask a colleague or freind - or better that several colleagues or friends - to edit your work.Editing is an act of friendship,it is not an act od aggession.

PRACTICE EVERY DAY:

Writing is a skill and skill improve with practice .Reading well-written material every day ,and being attentive to word choice ,sentences structure, and flow .

"Start paying attentionto the style of the wall street Journal"

Most importantly ,build time into your schedule for editing and revising.Writing and reworking your own writing is where change happens ,make its not quick,The time is well spent because good writers distinguish themselveson the job.
