AVOID GROUP THINKING BECAUSE IT’S COMMON AND AVERAGE — BE RETAIL NOT WHOLESALE IN THINKING
With limited opportunities that are sought after by crowds, only a few get them and sometimes those that get them are never even in the crowds. If you want common results then do common things. If you want group results, then engage in group thinking. But if you want different results, dare to do things differently!
When others are in the crowd fighting for a limited opportunity, learn to use retail thinking, not wholesale thinking because it’s retail thinking that gets you to the peak of success. And as you know, it’s not congested at the top of success. Congestion due to group thinking is at the bottom on the success ladder.
There is indeed room at the Top and those who get there don’t use group thinking. Let me give you some other examples so that you understand me. E.g. Instead of waiting to do your taxes on the due date, do it pressure free a week earlier and you won’t have to stand in the line for hours. Instead of buying summer clothes when it’s hot, buy them in the cold season when they are cheap. Instead of going to the movies when it’s crowded on the weekend, go on a Monday night. That is what I mean by avoiding group or common thinking.
What most people are doing is not always right. Just because a lot of people go there and do this and that only makes it common and average. So if you want uncommon results in life, dare to do what crowds avoid and next time you see a crowd gather for an opportunity ask yourself this: Is that common, wholesale and group thinking the best way of getting the most excellent result in terms of the opportunity?
I Dare you to be different. Be unique. Distinguish yourself so that you enjoy a distinguished Top life.
