What are your thoughts on being ‘original’ in the business world? Do you think yourself and your business are being ‘original’ enough to survive in the modern day business world?

1. On Being Original

2. Originality is that extra factor that could
help set a business apart from their
competitors and accelerate their success, no
matter what industry they are operating in

3. Many businesses, mainly those who have
lost touch with their brand identity and
originality, have chosen the dark path of
ripping off others’ ideas and content

4. By doing this, they have also eliminated
any chances for their organisation to
distinguish itself from millions of other
similar businesses in the market

5. It’s totally okay for you to be inspired by
other people or businesses that are
successful in your field and follow their
footsteps to come up with new ideas that
mimic their works

6. Being inspired is different from
being a copycat / an idea theif

7. Many people hide behind this idea of
being “inspired” by others and straight up
steal ideas from those sources of
inspirations

8. Ask yourself: Are you thinking for
yourself and your brand, or just copying
from someone else?

9. There is no clear black and white
answer to this debate on originality, but
one fact remains: being an original will
always trump being a copy

10. Constantly being authentic and original
to yourself and your brand are what will
take your business to another level and
give you great and long-lasting success
