One of the most impactful yet simple pieces of advice I’ve ever received over the years was the notion that if we commit to do every day what most wont, we can increase the chances that tomorrow we will achieve most don’t.

That’s right my friends, just following the crowd only gets us as far as the crowd will go. But, daring to do what the crowds don’t do and go where the crowds don’t go can dramatically increase the chances that we will grow and know what the crowds don’t know.

I think the great business tycoon Warren Buffett said it best when he answered the question about what’s his best investment strategy with the following statement, “I just look at what everybody else is doing or NOT doing and do just the opposite.” Yep, it’s fair to say that he doesn’t spend much time following the crowd. Not a bad strategy, eh?

To that end, I invite you to consider that quite possibly the most effective methods and strategies of life and business may actually NOT be the most popular and what’s currently most popular may NOT always be the most effective. Hmmm…

So don’t be afraid to NOT always do what you’re told by the popular crowd because we already have enough run-of-the-mill duplicates and carbon copies. Blazing your own trail just might lead you to something special and significant, then you can show the rest of the world how you made it GREAT and how they can too.

I’m counting on you to blaze your trail and go Make it GREAT! 🙂
