Before We Were

The next time you find yourself being short, rude, prejudice against a group take a moment to realize before we were “groups” we were the same.

Before someone told us we were white we were human.
Before someone told us to worship a man we were human.
Before someone told us to act black we were human.
Before someone said marry your own race we were human.
Before someone introduced the mystical and abstract existence of economics and wealth we were human.
Before someone said my life is more valuable then yours we were human.
Before someone said you don’t matter because you are too young we were human. Before someone said you are irrelevant because you are too old we were human.
Before someone told us to wear this or that we were human.
Before someone told us to believe one way is better than another we were human.
Before someone told you to stay in your own country we were human.
Before someone told us to love her but not him we were human.

Before someone told us we couldn’t change the world we were human.

Humans can change the world!
“Before we were” by #LibertyMadison

When you respect all of life you will begin to see the rippled effects. When you do not disaster awaits.
Choose life, love, and happiness
If you are ever unsure of what to do or how to move forward please ask yourself One question, What would love do?
You Only have two options in life
Love or Fear

No matter how sophisticated “Fear” looks. Always choose Love!
You will thank yourself!
I am not going to tell you its just about choice. No that’s a myth. Choosing an apple or an orange is just about choice. However affecting lives has two choices “Love or Fear”.

Thank you for reading this impromptu open letter and poem. It was written by me today July 23 in honor of a loved one. The words were flowing through me the moment my eyes flew open. It took me 7 minutes to write this piece and I absolutely adore it. I am thankful I had my Samsung Note right next to me in order to capture this moment.

And yes I do sleep with my phone!

Before you launch your website

Many professionals over look simple things. Being perfect has nothing to do with experience its has everything to do with absolutely nothing. Perfect is a myth. However being better is achievable.

Many millennials and transitionals in the startup world often assume their peers and or competition have the upper hand. I don’t know why we tend to think EVERYONE else is superior but its simply untrue. We all have areas that we can improve on. I wanted to share an example.

My friend Nora Oravecz a Hungarian blogger in Silicon Valley for the summer is trying to improve her English skills so she decided to seek out a public speaking class. She suggested I join her so I can polish my skills and meet other speakers. I was super excited! I asked her to forward the link so I can begin my research. After more than 15 minutes on the site my excitement began to wane. I could not find anyone actually giving a talk.

A common mistake that I do not want others to make.

This is a speaking class with packages ranging from $50 to $550 and not one bit of footage of anyone actually speaking or giving a talk was listed on the website? The class is reliable, reputable, and a great investment. However that was not conveyed with this slight over sight.
I am a bit stunned.

How do you expect to sell your service or brand without showing what your service or brand is?

The founder was not speaking. The staff was not speaking. I honestly would have accepted a 30 second snippet of a student speaking!
I would have felt more incline to enroll and engage.
But no such luck. It was a bunch of words. Which would have been great for a wordpress class. But not ideal for a class selling the ability to become a better public speaker.

#ThatTechGirl #TechTip

When launching your startup place a sample/reel/demo/or preview of your product or service ON your site. You can do this by creating a video, animation, or offer a beta test experience. Remember
“Showing is often better than telling”.

High Tech Golf and Drinks for Lunch?

At Eagle Driving range in Silicon Valley

Did you know that SoMa has an indoor driving range?
Our very own high tech driving range.
Yea neither did I!

I decided to stop by and check it out!

Have to say Eagle Club Indoor Golf is pretty freaking sweet!

I walked in unsure of what to expect and was greeted with the friendliest smile and warmest energy ever. Peter, who just moved back to the bay after being gone for 8 years, gave me a one on one tour of the facility while explaining the high tech simulations and data analytics of the stroke.

So it turns out that the StartUp mecca of the world, also known as SOMA, has an indoor driving range that host private parties and serves alcohol until 9 pm Monday through Friday. How did we miss this little gem.
It is so very Bay Area to take a break from work and walk over to the high tech driving range.

Whether you are an avid golfer, new to golf, don’t care about golf but care about a place open late that serves drinks, just want to go and be nosy, you thought golf was football, you own a Playstation, you are a tourist, you have seen a Nintendo Wii, you want to chill on your lunch, your cousin told you about it, or to host a meetup or team building event.
This is a perfect Tech spot for the #Startuplife!

If you discover you have a passion for golf beyond the occasional visit you can get tips from PGA tour pros like Rob Boldt and Courtney Burdick.

But let not aim to perfect your new found golf skills it may create a desire to go off and join the tour!
We still need you to create golf apps for those who can’t get to SOMA.

Eagle Club Indoor Golf is #ThatTechGirlApproved

Don’t keep score

A Sunday #startup tip!
Branding is important and so is ease of use on cross platform mobile devices.
So avoid the underscore!
It is not clean #ux #ui

When selecting social media accounts do NOT include an underscore.
The underscore is for windows 95 files. Please let it stay there! It isn’t a part of your brand or logo. Think bigger! You would never see Coke or Pepsi pulling this rookie move!!

Tag someone to help their branding!
Go to libertymadison.com for startup branding and consultation!
