With all the success stories out there, it can be so easy to fall into wishing you had someone else's story or someone else's career. But the truth is you need to create your own success story. Here's how and why.
Uniqueness Rules
Chances are that a main reason each example you are looking up to has done well is uniqueness. Attempts at duplicating someone else's unique qualities instead makes a copycat. Find your own uniqueness and use that to succeed instead.
But His Method Really Worked
It's fine to take notes and learn tricks of the trade. But there's a fine line between using strategies and copying someone's entire game plan. What works for one person won't always work for another. Even if parts of it do, it works better when it's tailored to the exact person. Take all the advice you can get. Then, use what you can to find your own perfect road to success.
Learn to be Innovative
People are not going to be excited about your ideas if they have heard the same things from other people. Again, using strategic advice can be helpful. However, your success needs to truly be yours if you want it to last. Find new ways to solve old problems. Be innovative and bold if you want to stand out.
Create Your Own Success
Your story is your own, as are your thoughts and actions. Use those to create your own success. While copying another idea might work for a while, authenticity will always shine through. This is because connections are made through anything you put out there. If what you have is a copy, your messages and products will lose touch with those who connected once you run out of steam.
When you are speaking your truth, that connection is more likely to stay. This is in part due to your audience being to connect to the truth. It is also because you are less likely to run out of things to say because it is coming from the heart, rather than what someone else said or did.
