Life's Too Short to Be Mediocre

"But for tribes, average can mean mediocre. Not worth seeking out. Boring.


Life's too short to fight the forces of change. Life's too short to hate what you do all day. Life's way too short to make mediocre stuff. And almost everything that's standard is now viewed as mediocre....The end result of this is that many people (many really good people) spend all day trying to defend what they do, trying to sell what they've always sold, and trying to prevent their organizations from being devoured by the forces of the new. It must be wearing them out. Defending mediocrity is exhausting."

I love this new book by Seth Godin and in this particular quote it addresses, in my opinion, a couple major things inside and outside the Network Marketing Profession:

1. For all of those that are working all day and not excited about it, and doing mediocre things, come see what the excitement is all about and why I've been screaming for 3 1/2 years that WE HAVE A BETTER WAY. Jump in.

2. For all of you that are NOT catching the new trends of this amazing profession, pay particular attention to the last three sentences of the above quote from page 32 of Seth's book. 

Congrats on being in the profession, but for goodness sake, pay attention to the trends and don't just participate - catapult your success by being aligned with those trends.
