“A study conducted in Knox County, TN, in 2013 found that Imagination Library participants were more prepared for kindergarten than non-participants and, when the researchers conducted follow-up assessments when the children were in third grade, they found that the Imagination Library participants still had statistically greater performance than non-participants. Similar studies in Memphis, TN (Samiei et al, 2013), and in Indianola, MS (2014), found the same results.”

It all begins with an idea. Maybe you want to launch a business. Maybe you want to turn a hobby into something more. Or maybe you have a creative project to share with the world. Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference.
Don’t worry about sounding professional. Sound like you. There are over 1.5 billion websites out there, but your story is what’s going to separate this one from the rest. If you read the words back and don’t hear your own voice in your head, that’s a good sign you still have more work to do.
Be clear, be confident and don’t overthink it. The beauty of your story is that it’s going to continue to evolve and your site can evolve with it. Your goal should be to make it feel right for right now. Later will take care of itself. It always does.
