Man she does it all! Great advice!
Brilliant. It’s great to hear the first half of the advice and think “Oh, this reminds me of a quote about driving at night…” and then hear Liz say it.
Mig, when’s that Humble Pied Go Out There and Get ‘Em Tiger Hype Yourself Up DVD going to be released?
Frank, ha! After the iPhone version, blooper reels, world-tour exhibition, and premiere in IMAX 3D sponsored by Apple. But… I don’t have a set plan for any of that. And according to Liz, that’s a good thing.
I see what you did there.
This is awesome advice! If you are the planning type (I am a crazy planner) you still have to be flexible enough to go with the flow if new things come around too. So I think the car metaphor for me would be “always look two cars ahead in preparation, but don’t ignore what’s right in front of you either”
This is so true! Being content right where you are is often the best place to be. I just figured that out the hard way. Thanks!
Such a good thing to hear, great advice.
Great site as well!
