Here is another great blog from our Global Misfit, Nathalie Molina...


"Well done is better than well said." Benjamin Franklin

A trap all of us fall into, albeit with the best intentions, is to make grand plans about how we're going to solve problems and tell people "it'll all be taken care of in a few weeks time". I see this in business as much as outside of it.

I could write a small novel on this one. But really it would boil down to this: Don't promise. Just do.

Do whatever fabulous thing you're doing, improve, change, cook up a model that will save money, improve reporting, revolutionize quality. Do it. Then once it's done, show up and tell people (your customer, your boss?) about it. Your customers will love you for this (apply it to life, your friends and family will love it too).
