I love zagging when everyone else is zigging

I used to be ashamed of doing things different from everyone else. Now it gives me pleasure.

I learned this about myself and can now just tap into it. I literally get a perverse pleasure when I do things that are completely contrary to everyone else.

All I know is I don’t want to follow the rules, so I’m not going to.

I give the best I’ve got to my blog. I enjoy sharing my wisdom with those that appreciate it. I don’t do it to build a huge list and track followers. As of this writing there are 77 people I’m writing to. This gives me pleasure to work with such a small group of people. The people on my list are all remarkable and it’s my honor to serve them.

Sometimes I feel like “the sage on the mountain” and I’m quite content with waiting patiently to see who shows up.

It also benefits me to get my thoughts out into a cohesive message. I’m building a body of work.

I’m not a marketer trying to sell products or programs, which means I don’t try to build my list and maximize traffic. I also value my free time, and make it paramount to everything. When I choose to do that, that means I trade it for the usual trappings most people chase.

It DOES mean I have to find alternate ways to do things. That means I have to be “old school” and stay in contact the old fashioned way – by intentionally contacting someone if I have something to say.

Those people are often touched that I thought about them to say what I did, because normally people just paste to their wall and that’s it. I have to be intentional and that’s appreciated and valued.

It means when I do something I show up extremely powerfully. I have to leverage that experience, make maximum contact and attract the people who are attracted to me. I’m not playing a numbers game. There is no funnel here. This is about human connection and making an impact.

And for those that are attracted to me and my messaging – I will serve you powerfully and not hold back.

Where do I go from here? No idea. And I love not knowing.
