2. Before your STARTUP
7 reasons to
brand yourself
1.
fitting in is
failing

3. why are you better
than the others?
- tell it to the world!

4. if you are not in google,
you don’t exist.

5. average guy beats
the expert if the expert
doesn’t show up.

6. If you're remarkable, then it's likely that some people won't like you. That's
part of the definition of remarkable. Nobody gets unanimous praise -- ever.
!
The best the timid can hope for is to be unnoticed. Criticism comes to those
who stand out. playing it safe. Following the rules. They seem like the best
ways to avoid failure.
!
Alas, that pattern is awfully dangerous.
!
The current marketing "rules" will
ultimately lead to failure. In a crowded
marketplace, fitting in is failing. In a
busy marketplace, not standing out is
the same as being invisible.

the game now.
