If you want to rise to the top and be successful, it's crucial that you choose to be innovative instead of emulative and imitative. We are all unique and our special qualities and characteristics will help us stand out among our peers rather than allowing us to blend in. There are so many people who are choosing to imitate others' work and ideas when, in reality, the best way to stand out and rise up is to be unique and innovative.

Things we're covering in this episode:

- Various ways in which most people emulate and imitate instead of innovate

- Learn why more people choose to imitate and emulate - Find out how you can take steps to be innovative

- Discover how being inspired by someone or their ideas or strategies can be different than imitating them

- When your style or voice sounds similar to another professional in your field, learn the best way to handle that situation

The Service Not Sales Workshop

I'm hitting the road! Starting in April, I will be in a different city each month – Phoenix (April 23-24), Philadelphia (May 18-19), Austin (June 17-18), Los Angeles (July 23-24), Nashville (August 27-28) and more may be added. These in-person and hands-on workshops will be a day and a half. You will walk away with a plan and you will have the tools and techniques to execute that plan. You will be digging into who your main prospects are, how to be clear on your brand, how to lead with your strengths, how to message who you are, what you do next and more.
