Embracing What Makes You Different

Standing out from the crowd

Growing up, we try to do anything in our power to fit in. But as we get older, we realize the things that make us different are ultimately the things that will make us money and popular. Today, I want to remind you to embrace what makes you different. Even use those idiosyncrasies to your advantage.

 

Think back to all the people you admire. Why do you admire them? Most probably, because these posses a trait you do not have. We tend to gravitate towards things that we, ourselves, do not have at the moment.

 

Think about that concept when doing business. What makes your brand different than everything out there? Whatever that may be, go ahead and exaggerate it. Make it known. Make it your trademark.

 

This morning, I read an article on CNN.com about a young entrepreneur named Seth Priebatscheth. The title of the article is “The modern tech CEO: Barefoot and 21.” He literally is 21 years old and shows up to meetings barefoot. But he’s also the owner of a successful startup mobile app called SCVNGR. The article talks about how is childhood influenced the tech CEO he is today. After reading the piece, you’ll see that there was nothing ordinary about Priebatsch.

 

So I encourage you discover what makes you or your brand different. Because those quirky habits may just become your signature selling point.

 

xoxo,

Loren

Loren,
This reminds me of a book I had to write & construct for an education class I took a long time ago. We had to be original. Mine was called, "What Makes Us Different,Makes Us Beautiful" I dedicated it to my daughter and it is still on her book shelf today.
