People who worked with me or knew me still called me the \’world\’s fastest human\’ because I almost never stopped. I\’d found that I could get more done with no regular job or regular hours at all, but by being on my own, flying to speak here, help with a Public Relations campaign for some client there, tape my regular jazz radio show one morning at 5:00 a.m. before leaving on a plane for another city or another continent three hours later to preside over a major sporting event. – Jesse Owens

Myth: PR success is based totally on chance. Fact: While there’s an element of unpredictability to PR, success is really based on strategy. Another common take on PR is that not much planning goes into it – that PR pros just push press releases or spray their message indiscriminately to the media, hoping for an easy hit. This couldn’t be further from the truth. PR is all about timing and strategy. Most successful PR professionals are news junkies, which is helpful because a huge and essential par of the job is staying up-to-date on current events, trends, and breaking news. If anything relevant to your client is going on in the media, you need to act quickly and approach clients with a plan of action for leveraging the opportunity before someone else beats you to the punch. While it may look like certain articles or announcements get published just because the topic is inherently interesting, PR teams work hard on behalf of their clients to cultivate relationships with reporters and prove that certain stories are relevant and worth printing.
