Gnomes love bold type. Don’t piss off the gnomes.

You know who you are. You are the people that are probably not even reading this right now, because you never bother with the 12pt type. You read the big, the bold, the underlined! You know that that’s where all the actually useful info is anyway, right? The small type is for the perfectionists, the rule-followers, the people who don’t have anything better to than read ebooks on a lovely Saturday afternoon.

So, what’s the deal with these guide thinga-ma-jigs? When you purchase one of the Short Attention Span Guides, you will get a happy little guide split into five modules.

Each includes five bullet points, each one in big, bold type. Each module will take you like five whole minutes to read. You can nibble on it one module at a time (I recommend one module per week), or gobble it up in one sitting.

Yup, you will learn something in five minutes. That’s the whole idea.

The Short Attention Span Guides  aim to make you smarter, teach you some really useful stuff, and get you back out there, so you can actually have time left in your jam-packed schedule to actually use what you just learned.

This series is designed to be nibbled in small doses, not gobbled in big chunks.

The whole idea is to give you something you can (and will) read fast, so you can go about your awesomeness creation unencumbered by the guilt of buying something and then not reading more than the first few pages.

We believe that wasting time is just plain lame. Wasting other people’s time (especially while charging them for it), is downright wrong. This is why The SAS Guides are broken up into nice happy little narrow topics so you can buy just the ones you need, instead of getting a whole course {only to find out that you already knew most of the info, but had to read the whole damn thing to find that out}.

If, after buying a guide, you feel like it wasn’t worth it, let us know and we will refund 100% of your hard-earned cash. No questions asked.

Also, the project is about exposing new genius to the light of day.

We are SUPER committed to creating opportunities for great people who have something to say to be heard by a large audience.

This is why we not only look for, but encourage contributions from people just like you.

One of the great things about the SAS series is that each guide has a really narrow focus, so even someone who is fairly inexperienced with business, might know a lot about a single topic, and creating a guide on that topic can help them both get exposure, and make some cash in the process.

If you, or someone you know might be interested in creating a guide, or co-writing one with illana, please submit your idea HERE.

Who makes this stuff?

The SAS series is a happy little arm of Makeness.com, and is the brainchild of Illana Burk {click to learn more about Illana’s fancy MBA and all her gobs of business experience… ooooooo, and to see a pretty little picture of her}. Unless otherwise credited, all of the guides are Illana’s creation. She draws on her years of learning most things the hard way (she’s stubborn like that), to give you some ass-kicking shortcuts.

Illana believes that you shouldn’t have to put your goals on hold while you figure out how to do all the mundane crap that gets in most people’s way.
