DON'T BE SHY.... STAND AND GIVE YOUR BATTLE CRY.....

Most of us are in VERY COMPETITIVE industries and the people that seem to be the most successful are the ones that are not afraid to be unique. Or have corned a niche and have worked it hard. ME TOO does not work anymore if you want to enjoy a profit margin. And giving a bunch of product away and calling it "added value" is a joke.

As most of you know, I have always been VERY UNIQUE. And I try every day to bring something that is different to Eagle Creek. If it is this e-mail, a unique marketing idea or injecting humor to my presentations to set us apart. Sometimes I fail and sometimes I do "just OK." And sometimes it happens but I feel it is critical that I keep pushing. There are times when I feel my message is not being heard and I am wasting my time. But then somebody makes a positive comment that rejuvenates the soul. 

(I recently attended a LMA function and an attorney mentioned that he got a call from a gentleman that attended one of his seminars five years prior. That is motivation to keep pushing)

The bottom line, don't be afraid to be unique. Look at the kid in the picture for inspiration :)
