It Won’t Be Competition that Will Beat You …

You Can’t Do What I Do

I’ve never been good about worrying about the competition. Sometimes I forget to even look at what they’re up to. I don’t want to be them.

I’ve finally learned that the best I can bring to the table is the best version of me. No one can compete with that. Folks can do things I can’t. Folks can make other other offers. But no one can do what I do better than I do. I am the best me that could possibly exist.

You can’t write my blog post and I can’t write yours.

No one else can see what I see as well as I do.

No one else can bring my experience.

No one else can put the Liz idea and the Liz twist into a Liz strategy quite the same way in the same short amount of time.

I build elegant and irresistible strategies for incredible businesses and people. I put my heart and soul into my work weaving just the right nuance into each choice and action in order to project the most meaning and offer the most value. What my clients get are great relationships, great results, and great communities of loyal fans.

So instead worrying about the competition, I worry about the folks who are looking for exactly what I do. They are the people who count in my eyes. I want to make their lives easier, faster, and more meaningful.

If I looked at my competition too closely, I might start thinking I should be doing what they’re doing and I’d only become a bad facsimile of me or a bad facsimile of them.

Leaders find their own path.

So, it won’t be competition that will beat you.

It will be yourself. It will be you not investing the time and energy into what you want to become. It will be you forgetting who you are or trying to be someone else. It will be you giving into fear or you letting go of what has defined you since before you could talk.

What is it that you do better than anyone? People ask you do to do it often, so often you assume it’s easy, but it’s not. Who could compete with you, if you put your head, heart, and passion into serving the people who value that?
