(A) Advice to ponder.
"Nobody is rooting for you to fail.
You may succeed. You may fail. But, for the most part, nobody cares one way or the other.
This is good. The world is big and you are small, which means you can chase your dreams with little worry for what people think."
— James Clear
This speaks for itself. I love it!
(B) Blah, blah, blah.
This week I re-read a book by Seth Godin — Purple Cow. It is no surprise I’m a raving fan of Seth. His ability to show creativity, simplicity, and wisdom in his books, interviews, courses, and daily blog posts is inspiring!
In this book, Seth shows how TV or paid media is no longer the solution for 99% of companies. You either stand out, or you don’t. The ads only hide the lack of effort marketers put into their product, customer service, and communication.
Instead, Seth suggests experimenting with remarkable ideas. Remarkable because they have the power to set you apart. They might not work. But they might… After all, playing it safe is risky.
What could you do differently that would turn you into a purple cow?
