Top 3 Traits of Successful Leaders – Trait 2

May 24, 2013 by Anne Bachrach Leave a Comment

Go Against the Herd
Go Against the Herd and Do Things Differently

Go against the Herd
Becoming a successful leader is not about blending in – it’s about remaining true to your vision and going against the herd if that’s what it requires. If you have a gut feeling about your business the best thing you can do is to act on it. The more you can create a unique niche in your market, the more leverage you have against similar competition.
When Sam Walton opened up small convenience shop in a town with a population of less than 50,000, other business leaders were convinced he was headed for failure. They had no idea that Wal-Mart would go on to be the largest retail chain in history. What’s the moral of the story? Going against the herd just may be your ticket to success. Sam Walton had an idea, a passion, and carved out a unique niche in the market. He remained true to his vision and went on to prove his vision could become a reality. Shouldn’t you follow suit?
Action Step
Are you playing it too safe with your business? Have you had an idea about how to do things differently, but were too afraid to take action? Do one thing different with your business this week – or each week of the year – and see if you get improved results.

Testimonials

I’ve sometimes thought of myself as not coachable – fits & starts on progress – but when I looked at where I’ve come, I can tell it works. This year, I’ve experienced over 50% growth – and with that growth came some confidence… confidence to finally go after what I know I should have done – we’ve added a flat-fee-only option to our offerings, and that’s ALL I’ll be targeting for 2014 and beyond. With that under our belts, I can foresee another 50% growth year for each of the next 2 years!

Mind over matter, right? Sometimes, that’s easier said than done. When we’re faced with a laundry list of to-dos and with not enough time in the day, it can be easier to distract ourselves and push things off to the next day. And when more items get added to our list, it becomes overwhelming, and we continue to procrastinate even more. A vicious cycle, but one that can be overcome. That’s the good news!
