There’s no such thing as an overnight success.

Anyone who tells you otherwise is likely trying to scam you. Anyone who promises a proven process or an easy success formula is probably trying to take advantage of you.

The only way to succeed in business is to learn the rules and find a Mentor who can help you navigate the system.

There’s no magic formula for success: just hard work, dedication, and a willingness to learn.

It’s easy to sit in a meeting room on a Friday afternoon and say, “I don’t think we need to reinvent the wheel here”.

It’s much harder to say, “It’s going to involve working through the weekend, but let’s step back and see if we can be genuinely creative, and come up with an idea that really is new and interesting.”

In other words, the decision not to reinvent the wheel is the easy way out. It’s the lazy way out. It means you can stop thinking, stop worrying about making a mistake, and grab a “proven process” off the shelf.

It’s also a first-class ticket to mediocrity.

Beware anyone who tempts you with a “proven process” or an easy “success formula”.

I’m not saying you should totally ignore what you see and learn. Not at all. Find out what has worked well for other people. Learn from their successes.

But if you simply sit back and copy what others have done, you’ll be very unlikely to achieve any real results for yourself.

As a coach, consultant or small business owner, you can take the same road.

Read less about what others have done to market their businesses, and spend more time thinking of something original, and hopefully a little crazy.

That’s what gets you noticed.
