You are not your brand, or your business. You are a person. With thoughts, and beliefs and values and philosophies. That make you unique and who you are. Your brand is a reflection of all those things – who you are and what you stand for. The promises and ideas and...
Waiting, refining, redoing, rethinking. Taking the option of pursuing perfect. Stops the creation of cool, enough, amazing and great. And keeps it form the people who need it most. Instead of pursuing perfect… begin. XO Liz...
When someone famous behaves badly and does silly things. The media plays it up, and society buys into it… Talking, tweeting, gossiping, repeating. Feeding it in a frenzy. And the bad behaviour gets bigger, and bolder, and uglier and badder. Cause it gets them the...
This is the worst question that you can ask. It indicates a complete focus on a means to an end. Learning what’s on the test to get the grades. Rather than learning to understand and expand your self. Are you learning just to take the test? Or for something greater?...
A baby enters the world as as completely reliant on adult humans to keep it alive. Within the first few years of its life it learns to drink, eat, sit up, stand up, walk, talk, run, jump. For each achievement or milestone it must try, fail, try, fail, and try, try...
Sympathy is being where they’ve been. The thing is, no-one can ever truly be in the same place as any one else. Empathy is understanding where they are. Considering their point of view, and how things might be different from there. It’s a little more challenging to...
If you went to Fiji or Greece you might notice that things don’t quite move as fast as you might be used to. Same with different workplaces and organizations, projects teams and people. Not every one moves to your speed. Not every one is going to get it as fast as you...
Kittens play with ruthlessness. Life is filled with curiosity, challenges, newness and awe. The joy a ball on a string can create for hours. The way such simple things can never make them tire. Every crack is a place to hide. Every crevasse is a space to explore. They...
The story of your life is yours, and yours alone. You’re the main character, living every experience and adventure the way you choose. Writing it as you please. If you don’t like the story you’re writing, then change it. XO Liz...
When you can talk about the work you do, for hours and hours and hours and hours. Endlessly exploring topics and tangents and ideas and opportunities. It probably means you’re excited, inspired, focussed and driven. If you cant fill a minute or two, and the empty...
When you think you need another certification, accreditation, qualification. Consider who certified the person or the organization that will certify you. And who certified them before that, and before that, and before that. Eventually, you’ll get back to a point where...
Every individual is right about their experiences. Their perspective, feelings, thoughts and points of view. No-one can say that any one is wrong about the way another views the world. Because what led each and every one of us here is unique. And none of can ever see...
The person that needs to exist. To build that business, create that thing. That person, is NOT someone who you need to become. That person is who you already are. You’re just clouded by thoughts and ideas that aren’t even yours. Telling you you’re not. And all you...
The wrong customer service waits for things to go wrong. Waits for something to be fixed, and does nothing in the mean time. The wrong customer service suddenly appears with the big problem. The right customer service appears long before this point. It’s there from...
Next time you have a meeting, ask the question… What’s the agenda? What’s it’s for? What is the purpose of the meeting? What’s the outcome and what are we trying to achieve? Having a meeting for the sake of a meeting, because that’s what you normally do, serves no...
That big idea, that thing you want to create. That seems far too big and far away. Can be so much closer when you start today. One step, one small action, one movement towards it. Closes the gap that little bit more. XO

This web page is currently offline. However, because the site uses Always Online™ Technology it will be back soon….” Huh? Always online = Offline for now. Where in your business do you just not make sense? And does it mean people just don’t take you seriously? XO Liz...
We’re asking you to do this thing that’s voluntary – it’s on your time and you won’t get paid. But if you don’t do it, we’ll take note and it just won’t look very good. So you should probably do it to avoid the consequences, even though formally there aren’t any....
Even if you’re not going to need them for a day, a week, or another month. If someone’s giving you a piece of the puzzle that is going to get you there faster. Then find a way to capture and record it, remember it, and find it again. And make sure you take note in a...
When someone offers you the opportunity to ask questions, ask them. When someone offers you the opportunity to present your work, present. When someone offers you the opportunity to obtain feedback, get it. The fastest path to improvement is to do the work, get some...
Group work can be one of the most rewarding or most frustrating experiences. Picking the right team is one of the most significant ingredients for success in any business or project. It’s some thing that you want to take a bit of time to get right at the start. It’s...
Ask quality, thoughtful questions, people notice. And want to engage. Ask stupid, redundant questions, people notice. And want to run. Ask no questions, and no-one notices at all. XO Liz Watt
When someone steal your ideas, it’s a good thing. 01 – Someone thought your ideas were worth stealing. Isn’t that better than no-one liking them at all? 02 – There’s more ideas where that came from. Have you ever run out of ideas, really? 03 – Your...
The way you view the world is yours alone. A combination of your experiences, perspectives, filter, ideas and beliefs. It’s different to every one else’s. Because they’re standing in a different place, seeing it from a different angle. With very different and unique...
Competition is a mindset of scarcity and lack and not enough. There’s not enough…ideas, appreciation, success, rewards, time, money, energy… There’s one against the other, and only one can win, can have. Collaboration, on the other hand, is a mindset of abundance and...
I used to believe that we had a finite daily bandwidth. That, at a certain point in the day, your ideas and creativity and imagination and “juice”… Would be all used up. And then you’d kind of flip into the mundane, the data-entry stuff. That was easy to do but...
At some point you went from being a child. Under the guard, care and control of your parents. Who told you what to eat, when to sleep and who to play with. While their was a little freedom, life was, essentially, all on their terms. Until, at some point, you entered...
I may have said this before. Maybe this time last year. Or one Christmas, about Santa. But, the Easter Bunny is a bizarre lie. We tell our kids that a rabbit comes in the middle of the night and leaves them chocolate in the shape of eggs and baby animals. It would...
There’s a lot of people talking about Blue Moons and Mercury In Retrograde. A Blue Moon is the second full moon in the calendar month (of March.) Which, evidently makes people crazy, unproductive, weird. Throw in the concept of Mercury in retrograde, and it evidently...
