# Art of the Start: 10/20/30 Rule and Beyond Bulltes

I am reading the copy of [Art of the Start](http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/ASIN/1591840562/performance03-20-20) I won in the [inBubbleWrap](http://inbubblewrap.com/) draw on St. Patty's Day, and I am struck by the philosophical meshing between Guy's 10/20/30 rule and Cliff Altkinson's [Beyond Bullets](http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/ASIN/0735620520/performance03-20-20) approach to Powerpoint.

In my work environement, I am occasionally called upon to produce, and sit through, Powerpoint presentations. I find myself trying desperately to use the *Beyond Bullets* approach: maximum message with minimum text. Adding the 10/20/30 rule gives me another tool to not only re-examine how I produce presentations, but to critique those that I sit through.

I may ask Guy if it is possible to buy and distribute the chapter containing 10/20/30 to all the people in my company. Worth a shot, as I can't afford 60 copies of the book.

*Art of the Start* is worth it, just for 10/20/30.
