Putting confidence into your copy almost to the point of arrogance is pretty powerful stuff, and it works out great for a lot of people. However, all too often this confidence turns to cockiness. If you’re still not sure, I’ll be honest – I’m probably not going to be able to help you yet, because this takes confidence on both sides.

The guy writes with confidence and authority. Unlike the person who seems mentally permalinked to 1994, I’m constantly learning new things at a tremendous pace, mostly just because I love it.
