I get asked a lot about how to translate a strategy, a position, an idea, or belief into actual *words*.

“That strategy is great and all... But what do I *say*?”

**My answer is simple: what you *say* is** [**what you *do***](https://kelfordinc.com/your-process-is-your-position-kelford-labs-weekly/)**.**

That’s the translation layer, the layer that transfigures an idea, a strategy, a belief, a concept into words and language.

You take your belief or your position and you ask yourself, “How is this manifested or made real by way of my actual working process?”

**Or, more simply, “How does what I do *demonstrate* that this is what I believe?”**

Then, you write that down.

Here’s the clearest example I can give: My belief is that marketing [doesn’t really fail](https://kelfordinc.com/the-easiest-way-for-marketing-fail-kelford-labs-daily/), it usually just *stops*. So the most important thing is avoiding that.

That’s my big idea, my overarching concept.

Now, how do I communicate that in words? How do I translate that into language?

By writing a newsletter [every day](https://kelfordinc.com/tag/daily/) which, a) shows you that marketing can keep going, consistently, if you [make it a habit](https://kelfordinc.com/daily-lab-marketing-is-formed-not-started/) and b) gives you [tips](https://kelfordinc.com/write-the-truest-sentence-you-know-kelford-labs-weekly/), [ideas](https://kelfordinc.com/how-writing-gets-going-kelford-labs-weekly/), and [concepts](https://kelfordinc.com/just-start-writing-kelford-labs-daily/) that you can turn into your own [marketing messages](https://kelfordinc.com/turning-beliefs-into-messages-kelford-labs-daily/).

Just like today, just like right now, in this very moment.

So, how do I turn my ideas into words?

**By showing you what I *do* that makes them real.**

In short, by *demonstrating* how it works via language.

That’s all you need to do, too:

**Figure out what it is you** [**believe**](https://kelfordinc.com/beliefs-inspire-content-kelford-labs-daily/) **that makes your work unique, and then use your words to *show* your prospects how you do it.**
