Find Your Edge. Shout about your individuality. How do you stand out in a culture that teaches you to fit in? Does the nail that sticks out always have to be hammered down?
It’s easy to forget that in order to achieve the success and the attention you believe you deserve, you need to stand out. Do something exceptional.
Once you’ve found your niche, you need to concentrate on making sure people know it’s your thing. If you want to stand out, you need something that draws people’s attention—and that’s you and your beliefs. If you do things that everyone else is doing, you will end up like everyone else—drowning in the river of oblivion. If you make a conscious effort to push your comfort zone, and deliver talk-worthy, ass-kicking work, you can stand out from the crowd.
