I recently saw a sound byte on YouTube from Sheldon Adelson, the billionaire owner of resort and casino properties in Las Vegas and around the world. He summarized his advice for success as this: “Just do things in life, the way other people don’t do them. Change the status quo.”
And that’s what I mean too, in the subtitle from my latest book where I say “don’t be a part of the pack, be apart FROM the pack.” Whether you’re looking for your next job, looking to grow your business, or hoping to start one, think of doing things in ways that make you stand out. Don’t do what everyone else is doing.
Here are just a few things to get you thinking:
- Send a handwritten thank-you note instead of sending an email.
- Pick up the phone to call someone you haven’t spoken with in awhile, who isn’t someone you want something from.
- Instead of complaining about something, think up a solution for the problem.
- Don’t be a victim of whatever situation you’re in. Take charge and take action.
- Know what you’re good at, then seek or create opportunities for you to apply what you’re good at for someone else’s benefit.
C’mon, stand out from the pack! Do things differently.
