" I was unemployed for three years, and I gave up hope. I did odd jobs to keep my head above water. I was stressed out and anxious 24 hours a day.

Many times I thought I was having a heart attack, my doctor says it was anxiety. I used Triliminal, and it is magic. I had an idea while using it , to start a small odd job business.  

Before I used Triliminal, I never thought I was good enough. I was very ashamed with myself.

I do not know why, but I felt like Iit was ok to start this business, and I talked to my sister, who had a good job.

When she said "I believe in you Mike", I cried like a baby. I used Triliminal all night. I was terrified to start this business. Then, my whole family was all dressed and they went with me to do it.

I started my small business.

I passed out flyers and told everyone in my neighbourhood about it.

In the business ...

My wife cooks and bakes, my children delivers and I do the tough stuff, like handyman work.

Now, there is a long line of customers. From a few dollars as a day while unemployed to thousands a week, I was able to pay off our debts and buy our home. Life is getting very good."

I've noticed an improvement in myself since I've started using the Triliminal Phenoma, but it's not just me; my familly and friends tell me as well that I look and act way more confident.

I feel so good about it!

 

Gracia Montero

 

 

I've been drifting for many years and I was in total denial. I feel now that I've gotten back onto the path to regain balance and harmony in my life.

Thanks to you! It is no coincidence that I bumped into your Trimliminal Phenomena.

Deep down I was desperatelly looking for guidance and I think it was meant to be.

 

Gracia Montero


 

And this is just the tip of the iceberg of the amazing

 

 

" For the last 5 years I have been through great personal turmoil and I found it very difficult to stay motivated and focused.

Since listening to the Triliminal Phenomena program, my life has taken a remarkable turn-around and has opened up a whole new world to me. I am now taking action towards my goals, and have a clear direction and focus. The Triliminal Phenomena program has not only changed my life, but also my family." Joanna Wallace


Joanna Wallace

 

 

 

"I ordered Triliminal Phenomena and my life has changed so much for the better, I listen to the program everyday and sometimes while I sleep.

My confidence has hit a level I never dreamed ever existed. The Triliminal Phenomena is awesome, and the thoughts I have now are positive, and I find when someone says something negative, I respond with something positive, and I find my negative thoughts are gone, this all happened in a short period of time.

I also had a lot of anxiety, depressed and took an antidepressant, after listening to the Triliminal Phenomena I have not taken them since, I am calmer, I sleep better and feel better all around.

I recommend Triliminal Phenomena to anyone that is struggling with self issues or any issues. Believe me this is coming from one that grew up around negative surroundings."


Joanna Wallace

 

 

"I have had problems not being able to sleep for days before a meeting. Getting to the meeting was even harder. Everyone was telling me I'm doing okay, but they do not know how much it takes me to do it. I have tried exercises, new age music, talking to myself in positive ways, reading many books and listening to audio books. It has helped, but not enough.

So, I bought the Triliminal Phenomena program with a real hope that I would be ready to face "the music: again this year. I listened to the program for three days before my first presentation.

I slept a little better and to my surprise I was calm the day of the presentation. Even more, I was looking forward to taking the microphone. The presentation went very well, I may have even spoke too much and surprised many who know I don't like the microphone. I have to say I think the Triliminal Phenomena program has certainly helped me get on the right track."

Introduction
Sometimes it may be beyond a companies or individuals budget to hire a professional writer to address their technical documentation. Although in an ideal world all technical documentation should be produced by a highly trained expert, unfortunately we do not live in an ideal. In the same way that many people will attempt to repair their own home appliances, many people will attempt to write quality technical documents. Just as fiddling with a toaster can result in electrocution, attempting to write technical documents from scratch without prior advice will ultimately result in failure. As a rough rule of thumb you should always seek to employ a specialist, but if for whatever reason you canapos;t and you are the poor unfortunate that has had documentation duties foisted on them, donapos;t despair. This brief guide outlines some of the core skills you will need to bring to your writing, technical conventions to be aware of, software packages you can consider, and definite things to avoid. Hopefully even if you have never written a sentence in your life about anything vaguely technical you will have at the very least, a broader picture of what technical writing entails.
What is Technical Writing?
Technical writing unsurprisingly enough, refers to writing that is technical. Although this may seem like a fallacious definition, it" an important one to remember. Too many technical authors make the mistake of creating documentation that is either too technical, or too apos;literaryapos;. A good technical author should be able to adjust the balance between the two to suit the end user of the documentation. Technical writing is a lot like fresh air, pervasive and yet pretty much invisible. In the weird wired world in which we find ourselves, technical writing is everywhere. Software manuals, user guides for home appliances, instructional leaflets, emails, letters, reports, technical news reports, statistics and biographies on television sports shows all are examples of technical writing to which people are exposed to on a daily basis. If you have ever tried to program the time settings on a home video recorder and flung the manual across the room in disgust, you threw a piece of technical writing (although obviously not a very good one!). Too many times technical literature is produced by writers with not a large enough grasp of technology, or technologists that lack an ability to write. As a prospective technical author you must tread the very delicate line of being technically knowledgeable in your specialist field(s) as well as being a apos;goodapos; writer (as opposed to apos;badapos; writers who can usually be found mugging sweet old ladies or something). Technical documentation is usually produced for two distinct user groups, namely expert level users, and naive users. As a technical author one of your first tasks is to sort out what audience you are writing for, which brings me deftly to
Know thy foe
As the old cliche goes, everyone" a critic. This is particularly true of most isane people" reaction when faced with technical writing. As was highlighted in the example of the video recorder above, technical writing can be impenetrable to the end user. If this is the case, it is because whoever wrote the documentation, didnapos;t bother to identify their audience and write to their level. It iseems an obvious point to make, but one that is often overlooked, that the user of the documents your are creating, may not actually be an expert. Obviously if you are creating a document on a particular specialist product for a particular advanced user group (a good example could be auditing software for computer system administrators) then you will need to compose this is an entirely different way than if you are creating for example, a technical manual for mass market computer software aimed at the inexperienced home user. One of the first tasks you must accomplish before you even put pen to paper, of finger to keyboard, is to identify who the user of your documents will be and construct documents aimed at that particular target group(s). If you get this stage correct, it ishould avoid your documents being thrown across rooms in annoyance!
Planning for perfection
Once you have identified the target market for the documents you will be creating, you will need to start to plan how the documents will be organised. This process is largely dependent on what documentation is being produced, but you can follow a few rough rules of thumb. Firstly, if the documents are to support a particularly detailed product (such as a computer application) get your grubby hands on it as quickly as you can. By examining the product in detail you can formulate a plan of attack and begin to compose an organisational structure. Whilst you are exploring the product in detail, take copious notes, as doing this during the initial exploratory stages can save you time which can be absolutely vital if you are working to deadline. Even at the planning stage you must ensure there is a consistency to layout, and organisational structure for the document. Select numbering conventions, paragraph styles, and generate rough ideas for layout purposes now, and save vital time later.
Let a Draft in
Before diving headfirst into creating the documentation, draft out each section first. This will allow to reorder if the documents being created do not have a logical apos;flowapos; without iseriously having impact on the project. Many technical documents (especially for more detailed products) are made up of numerous (and in some cases practically countless) iterations. This is because the product ishifts and changes over time, and one of the principal duties of a technical author is to keep abreast of these changes, and to ensure that they are all well documented. Good technical authors will always push their documents through as many drafts as humanly possible, refining on each draft, until they reach a position whereby they (and their employer) is satisfied that the documentation is timely, accurate and a true reflection of the product or process it documents.
The devil is in the detail
As already identified, technical writing is called that because it is technical in nature. Part of being technical is to be precise, and part of precision is to be as detailed as humanly possible. Even if the documents you are creating are for an advanced and technologically sophisticated user group, your documentation must focus on the details of a process, or in using a product. This can be a difficult feat to accomplish, but not if you write to your audience. Never assume that the reader knows anything about the product or process be documented, but in the case of advanced expert users at least have the common sense to recognise the fact that they probably do not need to be told how to use the equipment they operate on a daily basis. When describing how to carry out a particular activity or task, identify each stage involved (number them if this fits the conventions of the document type you are creating) and to ensure the accuracy of what you have written test it yourself, or even better, rope in a volunteer of the same skills level as the end user.
Choose the right tool for the job
Although it is possible to create technical documents using parchment and blood, it" not advisable. Many specialist isoftware applications exist to help you create powerful documentation, and part of your duties as a technical author, include selecting the right tool for the job. Largely this depends on the nature of the documents being produced, and the nature of their eventual distribution. If the documents can be delivered using the Internet, this is certainly an avenue to consider. To that end make use of packages such as Flash MX and Dreamweaver to achieve this goal. For integrated online help, you may wish to create raw HTML documents, or alternatively select a specialist package such as RoboHelp or similar. In the case of print based documents, you will need to select a software package powerful enough to handle what you will throw at it. Many inexperienced technical authors instantly turn towards Microsoft Word (as it is ubiquitous in may commercial and private environments). Unless your documentation is going to be beneath 150 pages, and you know how to create templates and make macros, avoid MS Word. As any technical author will tell you it has nasty habits all it" own, and can often be an unstable package to work with. If you are creating graphics heavy documentation, you may wish to consider Quark Xpress, or choose potentially the industry leader in the field, Adobe Framemaker. Whatever software you select, you must ensure you become incredibly proficient with it, either by investing in training, or by using it day after day after day!
Communicate - that" what you are paid to do!
Many people will tell you that creating technical documentation is tedious and repetitive. These people, are wrong, and possibly morons too. Although you may find the process of creating technical documentation apos;boringapos; (if you do you are in the wrong job!) it isnapos;t. Creating quality technical documents is a vital stage in allowing people to adequately and correctly use technology. Although no user will approach the documentation you create in the same way as they approach a novel, you can ultimately help them achieve what they want to achieve using technology. No matter how apos;dullapos; the process may appear to be, allowing users to achieve their goals by reading your documents should give you a rush of pride and indeed, happiness. As long as you remember the positive effects that technology can have on people" lives, when you create your documents you can communicate more effectively, as you will be happier in the communicative process. Throughout the documentation life cycle, you should seek to liaise with colleagues as often as possible (if applicable). Let them read your documents, listen to their criticisms, and adjust your documents (if you canapos;t argue your corner!). A technical author is paid to communicate, make sure that you do, and never forget why your are communicating, and to whom, in the documents themselves.
Common Mistakes to avoid making
When creating technical documents there are a number of fatal flaws you can make. Although by no means exhaustive, this section details some of the more common mistakes new authors make, in the hopes that you will avoid making them too
Being Patronising - Although technical documentation should be clear, it ishould never be patronising. You are not creating documents to be read by morons but consumers and clients. You should always write to the skills level of your audience, but no matter what technical level people are on, they are not morons. Even children get offended when patronised, donapos;t make that mistake with someone who is paying your salary, child or otherwise.
Overuse of humour - People do not read technical documents to be entertained, they read them in the hopes of successfully completing a process, or extracting information. Unless it is relevant to the end user, avoid humour wherever possible. If you are writing a book, fine and good. If you are writing a manual, avoid humour like the plague, as more often than not users will miss the joke and just end up loathing the patronising idiot that wrote the documentation.
Inconsistency - Even at the drafting stage, you should ensure that all the elements used in your document are consistent. This applies as much to the apos;toneapos; of the document as to the layout of it. Ensure you use consistent isenses (first person, etc.) as well as page layout, pagination elements, headers and footers, and all other textual elements.
Proof read - By the end of creating a piece of technical documentation, you will probably be sick of the sight of it. That doesnapos;t matter. What matters is what leaves your office or home, is accurate. To that end proof read the document throughout all it" drafts, and before it is distributed proof read it again, and again, and again. Never rely on spell checkers (they never work) and if you can avoid it, never rely solely on your own judgement. Get your document read by as many pairs of eyes as possible prior to distribution, after all, they could spot the one thing you have been missing throughout the creation process.
Conclusion Shameless self promotion
Technical writing is not regardless of what you may think, an easy job. It requires expertise, patience and a very odd mixture of skills. Just like any other job, you can learn how to do it, but even that tuition will not necessarily make you any good at it. To be a good technical author, you have to be anal yet creative, focussed yet communicative, and a flexible expert. This, as you can probably imagine, is no simple task. Although you may think creating technical documents is easy, creating accurate, consistent and timely documentation to a high commercial standard is a highly challenging role. Regardless of your budget, in the long run it will provide significant ROI if you hire a specialist. After all, they will be able to do in days, what you tear your hair our attempting to accomplish in weeks if not months.
