What’s your favorite show?
Friends? The Office? Big Bang Theory? Greys Anatomy?
Friends is my go-to! I also love The Big Bang Theory and Gilmore Girls, but the show(s) I choose to watch depend on my mood, the time of day / year, etc.
We all have our favorites for different reasons!
But, can you imagine if The Office tried to recreate the characters, storylines, and dynamics from Friends?
It wouldn’t work!
Fans of Friends would probably boycott. And The Office definitely wouldn’t be as popular as it is now.
What’s made each show successful is their dedication to staying in their own lanes and being uniquely themselves!
In this episode of the Marketing Bar podcast, I’m talking about why being different is better than ‘out-doing’ your competition.
Because too often we look at other people in our industry and try to replicate what they do. Whether it’s a reel they posted, their branding, or simply trying to replicate the success they have.
Instead of looking outward, what if we turned into ourselves?
And focused on what we like, what we’re good at, and who we are to attract our right fit clients.
Instead of trying to be better, let’s be different!
The only thing you have to do to be different – BE YOURSELF.
Sally Hogshead said it best, “It’s good to be better. But it’s better to be different.”
