WOW!
What a great post, Sarah. I can really tell how what you read affected you. And I know that your post will truly affect others at the core, too. Speaking to people as though to capture them emotionally, speaking to their hearts... getting them to stop and think what is truly important to them... what they are truly looking for. That is something that cannot be undone. It's something people will remember.
I will remember it. You've got me thinking what I want to do to be different, how I can be a unique voice in my field. I have a ton of fun with what I do, but what can I do for others? And how will what I do help or matter to them?

I'm coming for sure. Great insight. Awesome that you're saying what so many are thinking. When I started my biz I intentionally set boundaries to NOT fall into this trap that others are scrambling down. I don't like what I see down the rabbit hole - so I've created something that allows me to make all the money I need (and its tons) but more importantly allows me to ONLY work with companies I want to mentor & coach.
Enjoy the journey.......

Excellent!!
Perfect.
Anybody can be "mediocre" but to really really shine takes getting out of your comfort zone, turning things upside down & inside out, being ok with being UNcomfortable and getting up each & every day with a purpose.
Good for you! @Aronado

Dear Sarah - as you say, many people can resonate with this topic, and I am inluded in that group. I, almost 40, feel I have just begun appreciating my own voice, what it has to say, what it sounds like, its opinions and its beliefs. Here's the kicker...I actually like what it has to say vs. those of the ever-popular "they" or the experts. I couldn't agree with you more about the necessity of all of us finding and believing in our voices. I believe we've all been put here to sing it loudly enough so that our uniqueness, our authenticity can be heard - why else would we be here. Plus, deferring to those before us who have been successful tends to ignore that small voice within, that guiding hand that tells us to turn here, then there. Without it, we would truly be lost. Thanks for your awesome post, Sarah - and more importantly, for showing us the way to live a unique, authentic life. (: tammi

Sarah,
If anyone has the ovaries to buck the trend, it's you. Two quick tips:
1) If you've scraped your old marketing plan and have drafted a new one, scrap it. Let your ovaries be your guide! 2) Listen to more White Stripes CDs.

Well said, my friend! Although taking the path towards authenticity, full self-expression and adventure can feel (or at least appear) more risky, it is so worth it! I applaud your courage, candor and honesty in this post and fully support you in moving in this direction.
All of us need to stop looking for magic solutions outside ourselves and start looking within to discover our own unique voice. To clarify, I don't mean that our journey to authenticity and bold expression is a solo trip. Along the way, we most certainly get advice, direction, feedback and support from our network and from key people around us. As Keith Ferrazzi says in his new book, Who's Got Your Back, we can't possibly know everything we need to know to achieve the success we seek. That being said, there is a difference between getting support from our network, key lifeline relationships (Keith's concept) and from those who have walked before us vs. short-changing ourselves and short-circuiting our own growth by simply copying or "borrowing" others' stuff to get there faster.
Thanks for your willingness to publicly lead the way.

“Escaping mediocrity one adventure at time” Wow! I am so honored to know you Sarah! I have always believed in these concepts and that a brand must reflect YOU not what you do - the "do" falls into place now! This Warrior-Preneur is dedicated to the same things, and I want to collaborate and grow in spicy fun ways together!

My name is abdulah babadihaba and I am the prince of the northern most sector of Yemen. I would like send you 1,000,000 dollars to... oh crap that line is taken already.
I suppose I'll have to come up something unique! OH NO!
Here goes nothing... Stand up and stand out. Lead, parent, teach, and love by being an example of confident humility and most of all, wear sunscreen.
I look forward to growing side by side and changing the definition of success one win at a time. :)

LOVE this Blog. Well, so far I have loved ALL you blogs but this transformation process--the process of finding your voice and letting your unique wave influence others--is moving and is so much the very path I am on right now. Love it. Let the adventure BEGIN! (or continue! hehe)

Well, I just found this today and it sure "spoke" to me so I know it came at the right time. I struggle with the same thing, as someone passionate about Direct Sales and Network Marketing, but not wanting (and not willing to for the last ten years) do it the conventional way offline. There is a line being drawn in the sand, it seems these days, and so many believe that you can't be successful unless you bow down to the cookie cutter "System" with everyone doing everything the same. And yet, the top guns everywhere have personal website; books being published; videos on Youtube; Tweets alls over.
We are at a time of change and diversity. Let's embrace it across the board and just see what we get!
