It's time to stop and reflect. - Mark Twain.
At SFM’s momentum day in London last year I and many others did a little piece to camera after the event (en route to the bar)
For mine I talked about how the SFM’s vision, coaching and marketing system gives individuals the power to be just that - individuals.
I got an email this morning from one of the few other “gurus” I follow - John Lee Dumas which echoed how important that is in today’s world.
I decided to share it with you.

“As much as we don’t like to admit it, humans are similar to an animal that goes baaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa.
Sheep.
As a rule, we love following the herd.
We're terrified of being different, being ostracized, being 'cast out' of the group.
With good reason!
1,000 years ago, being cast our meant certain death, so we're born with the innate desire to FIT IN.
That mentality saved our ancestors.
That mentality will SINK YOUR SHIP in today's world.(The Titanic economy)
We don't need more noise.
We don't need more of the same thing.
We need you.
Unique you.
Bringing your heart,
your soul, your gift into this world in an incredibly special way.
We need YOUR voice.
Not your voice blended into thousands of other voices chanting the same thing.
Have the courage to be
different.
Have the courage to be you.
and…”
Whenever you find yourself on the side of the majority, it's time to pause and reflect. - Mark Twain
Wise words from JLD and Mark Twain
Cheers!
