My little guy turned 1 on Friday and it made me think… Watching him grow this past year, he’s done something different to my other 2 and a half year old son.

He’s completely skipped crawling and gone straight to the bum shuffle and starting to walk!

It’s a bit like the journey in business, isn’t it?

We often feel pressured to follow a specific blueprint. But here’s a little secret: sometimes, the best successes come from not following the crowd…

Why it matters in your business:
1. Stand Out: When you do things differently, people notice. It’s refreshing and can set you apart in a crowded market.

2. Innovate: Unconventional methods often lead to innovation. When you’re not tied to the usual, you’re free to explore what might actually work better.

3. Resilience: Just like my little guy not letting tradition dictate his mobility, in business, resilience often means adapting in your own unique way to challenges.

Think about what ‘bum shuffling’ in your business could look like. What norm could you defy to potentially enhance your service or product? Sometimes, skipping a step isn’t just okay; it’s necessary.

Would love to hear if there’s an ‘unusual path’ you’ve been considering or one you’ve taken with surprising results. Let’s make those unconventional choices count!
