Are you setting your own agenda, or are you letting others set it for you?

Psychologist Dr. Oliver James said, "If you want to live a full and fulfilled life, do your own thing on your own terms."

The reality, however, is that the vast majority of people want us to confirm the validity of their beliefs by conforming to them. This is particularly true of most bosses.

So in your desire to be accepted, it's easy to end up thinking like everyone else.

But the problem is that if you're thinking like everyone else, then you're not thinking, and your need for acceptance can make you invisible.

Fitting in is fine, but not to the extent that you disappear, and your voice is unheard.

If you celebrate your uniqueness, the world will too, because subconsciously it wants the same freedom.

Besides, the world pays more for originals than it does for copies.

So, what could you do differently today which could add value to you, your family or business?

Fortune favours the brave, and people are secretly begging to be led - are you a leader or a follower?

Look back on your last week and see what you could have done differently, and change gears.

Finally, ask your clients what they like best about you and your service, this is a great starting place to accelerate your business.
