So interesting. I like how Mark is keeping us all grounded here. What we see is a typical case of 'roller coaster' tendency of convictions within industries. For example, within the body building community for a long time it was believed that carbohydrates should be minimized to achieve optimal muscle definition, with a strong emphasis on high-protein, low-carb diets. This belief dominated the community, leading many bodybuilders to drastically cut carbs from their diets. However, over time, this conviction has been challenged and even reversed in some circles, with newer research and anecdotal evidence suggesting that carbohydrates play a crucial role in muscle growth and energy levels, especially when consumed at the right times. This shift is a classic example of how trends in industries can ebb and flow, often resembling a roller coaster where what is deemed 'correct' swings back and forth based on emerging evidence, influencers, and changing perspectives. Mark's input helps us remember the importance of staying grounded amidst these shifts, reminding us to focus on balance and evidence-based approaches rather than jumping from one extreme belief to another.
So instead of trying to be so unique that no one notices you, be relatively different in the ways that really matter to your customers, and add a healthy dose of distinctiveness so they'll remember you even in the dark. The key is to be distinctive - when your customers think of you, there should be no doubt about who you are and what you offer. In short, don't just stand out by what you do, do it in a way that's impossible to forget.
