Hi Silke,
another one for you to translate, (or delete!):

Here's the best way to improve your business plan or your Lebenslauf:

Have someone else write it.

Find a friend,  a good writer, someone who needs the same thing done for them, but not someone who is a close friend. And then interview each other and write the other person's plan.

Don't show them the existing plan or document, and don't read it to them. Have a conversation. Tell your story. Answer questions. And then see what they come up with.

Writing about yourself is infinitely harder than writing about someone else--and you're going to discover that the story you thought you were telling probably isn't the story that's coming across.
