Rare bird?

You remember what birds of a feather look like…

You can tell what someone is by the crowd they keep.

Do you remember what an outlier looks like…

You can tell what someone is by the crowd they do not keep.

Second photo, far left.

Outlier.

The only difference?

The way they stand out in a sea of same.

It’s an obvious lack of conformity.

Rubs many the wrong way.

Generally the only way to leap from dogma and or tradition is to listen to an outlier.

Life fascinates me because so much of what we can do isn’t dependent on any tradition or current standard.

Untethered with conformity

The photo upload function on WordPress has been broken since migrating my website hosting to a different platform.

Untethered with conformity, that’s what children are by default.

Still taking risks, by default.

As we redo our two upstairs bathrooms for the first time since building them in 1992, the technology advancements are exciting.

A waterless hot water heater. Motion-detection on/off sinks. No-touch sensor for the toilet flush. Apps to turn the shower on and off. 

Because the master bathroom is having a transformation, we extended this into the bedroom, out into the hallway, and down the steps – all of it getting redone.

The way every room opens up when untethered by window treatments is exhilarating. It reminds us of when the home was being built. Raw natural energy, the inside and the outside seemed like one, not two places.

The pressure to conform to the proven formula

consulate guidelines
From someone’s LinkedIn status update this morning. What about all three? Impossible?

 

The pressure to conform to the proven formula is strong enough for us to never attempt any other way – to not forge our own path.

Creating a new path is literally guaranteed to be laborious, expensive, and risky.

Plus, clients don’t like an unproven path.

Consider though that the new path could (and should) be faster, economically advantageous, and the turning point for your company’s (and your) future.

On April Fool’s Day 2009, jeff noel began writing five daily, differently-themed blogs (on five different sites). It was to be a 100-day self-imposed “writer’s bootcamp”, in preparation for writing his first book. He hasn’t missed a single day since.

 

Good Saturday morning, April 26th, from Disneyland in California

Notice the time of day in the upper right corner?

 

Notice the time in the upper right corner?

Seems early, yet it’s actually 6:03am at Walt Disney World (home).

Many say it’s crazy to stay on the home turf time zone when traveling.

Why?

Probably because that’s the Herd’s prevailing wisdom.

Walt Disney also faced prevailing business wisdom, yet he broke all the rules anyway.
