What would you consider the “normal” thing to do in your life? What are all your peers doing? And the all important question. Is that what your doing? Take a look around and see if you are standing out or just falling into whatever the “norm” may be that surrounds you.
For some people this is just fine. There’s plenty of work for the masses, so take all you can handle. Then there are people that challenge the rules and defy authority. These are the people that move to the top quickly, they refuse to sit back and disappear. They demand to be noticed and don’t stop until they are.
This applies to whatever your choice of careers is. Accounting, construction, finance, doctor, entrepreneur, it doesn’t matter you have to differentiate yourself in somehow to truly reach your full potential.
If you choose to sit back and disappear the system will take full advantage of you. It will get all the work it can get out of you because you were willing to do it without question.
Those who fit in now won’t stand out later.
