Silver Bullet # 6

Recently I was led to this blog post and it made me think.  However even though the post spoke about internet marketing, the reflection that was sparked in me was on human behavior.   It made me reflect about how few of us are courageous enough to do something that has never been tired or tested before.  In truth, that's why we are here.  To express ourselves fully and that means expressing our uniqueness - not cloning someone else's uniqueness.   A life well lived is an authentic life, a life of original expression.  And that is true success.

So to hopefully inspire some powerful reflection within you, I share the essence of  the comment I left on Rich's post Silver Bullet #6 In All Its Glory

 

Congratulations to Rich Schefren!  Another innovative idea brought to fruition successfully creating fun and value for thousands and ensuring a successful product launch!  That's Rich - innovative.  A leader.

 

And...some very interesting comments.  I bet 95% of the people showing up here don't read the comments already posted.  They are too eager to get "their something to say" down.  It's too bad.  The comments teach and provide as much insight as Rich.  Maybe more.

 

Rich does the things he does to move people to action, to stir deep reactions within people's consciousness.  Comments are a peek into those re-actions. 

 

What message is Rich sending?

 

Do as I DO.   NOT as I SAY. 
 

So what DOES Rich Schefren do?  It's obvious... in his post Rich speaks about so many people saw his success doing GREAT IDEA #1 and so they went and duplicated GREAT IDEA #1 by the thousands. No original thinking.  Now GREAT IDEA #1 is no longer new, novel or original - actually quite the norm.

 

What they didn't get is that IDEA #1 was GREAT because it was New, Never been done before, and it was ORIGINAL.

 

Same now with the 24 hour broadcast.  When Rich did it a few weeks ago, it was New.  Innovative.  Bold.   Never been done. Unheard of. 

 

Well that's now killed.  It's soon to be "old hat".

 

So what's a marketer to do?

 

BECOME Rich Schefren!  Well, not really - there is only one Rich - but your own version of Rich.  Rich is where he is, as fast as he is, because he doesn't use other people's tried out ideas.  He CREATES his own and then BRAVELY puts them to the test.   This 24 hour broadcast could have bombed.  Rich just put himself out there without knowing.  That takes COURAGE.   He was the first.

 

I wonder how many coming here to post after me will read this, scratch their heads and begin to wonder... "What can I do that has never been done before?
What innovative idea can I bring to my audience?
How can I bring unique value to the people so that they rave over me and the value I have created for them?"

 

How many will ...  or they will continue to copy?

 

If they don't -  the rest of the world loses out.  We lose all the gifts of all those innovative and bold ideas not yet brought to life that are just waiting for someone with enough courage to do so.

If you look, all of the extremely successful (those we all agree are successful whether it be monetarily or otherwise) were all innovators. Original thinkers.  They cut down their own path and walked.  They DID NOT walk the path that another had cleared.  Here, I'll list a few - Ghandi, Mother Theresa, Princess Diana, Bill Gates, Warren Buffet, President Kennedy, President Lincoln, The Buddha, Van Gogh, Thoreau, Bill Hicks, The Beatles ... I think you can continue the list from here.    All  innovators.  All unique. 

 

So how can you express the Uniqueness that is You in the World? 
The World, the Universe is waiting.   Waiting just for you!

This is what the Tale of The Little Yellow Daffodil teaches us.  You are unique with special gifts only you can bring.   Through you're being authentically you - you can transform the world.
