Finding What Makes You Different.

Thank you for the excellent feedback from last week's issue "Different is Better than Better". Many of you did the exercise and found out how others see you as different. If you didn't get a chance to do the exercises, just click here.  I invite you to spend a few minutes on it.

This week I invite you to do the following:

  1. If you didn't do last week's exercises, spend a few minutes doing that.
  2. List three to five adjectives that best describe your differentness.
  3. Do the people in your personal and business life notice your differentness? If they don't know, consider telling them.
