I went back and replaced all the "we" 's with "I" and it felt very scary. Sort of like I wasn't quite as "big", or there was less space between me and my reading audience.
But I think it's far better, because when someone calls my office they're making an appointment to talk to ME, after all. |
I agree. In fact, folks who say "we" when they mean "I" turn me off in a big way. It seems to me that they are trying to dodge responsibility by placing it on others who may or may not even exist.
Politicians are the first group that comes to my mind. Ugh.
The way I feel is, my business IS me and I am happy to shoulder all the responsibility, since I also get to take all the credit!!
