Success is about getting in the way…

Success is largely a matter of getting in the way.
Think about that.
If you want to do business with a certain type of person, find
out where they hang out, find out what their needs are and put
yourself in their way.
If you want to sell ebooks online, fine out who wants to buy what
and then put yourself in their way.
If you want to speak at seminars, find out who organizes the
events and get in their way.
People who are ‘in the way’ get noticed.
While most people are happy to shrink into the background and
‘blend in’, successful people – or those on the journey towards
success – know that blending in is the LAST thing that they need
to do.
Where is the differentiation in that?
Sheep on the hillside blend in. All you see is a flock of sheep.
But if one of those sheep happens to have black wool it stands
out and your eyes are drawn to it. It is in the way of your
vision.
You have to find ways to get in the way of the people you need to
further your success. You have to be noticeable and noticed.
Whether that is by the way you act, the services you offer, or
the skills you possess, when you are in the way and you have
something that can solve another person’s problem, you are the
natural first choice.
And where success is concerned you are either the first choice or
you are no choice.
Get out of your blended-in comfort zone and put yourself in the
way of success.
