The Problem with Outliers

Too many times we pay attention to obscure examples of success.

We obsess about the exceptions, the outliers, and the one-offs.

But patterning yourself after these people is a recipe for regret. If you want to tilt the odds in your favor pay attention to these 10 Trends instead.

The best part is anyone can do them. Ironically, that’s also the problem. Because they’re available to any of us at anytime, these 10 Trends are underrated. As a result, hardly anyone implements them—except these Rockstars. They found a way…and now you can too.

The Solution with Rockstars

1. Brian Wagner = Relentless Serving

2. Laura Harris = Pure Courage

3. Shanda Heilman = Unwavering Resourcefulness

4. Laura Diehl = Authentic Compassion

5. Chris McClure / Mark Williams = Imperfect Action

6. Renee Vidor = Savvy Integration

7. Pat Gano / Erica Foster = Generational Collaboration

8. Jim Akers = Systematic Storytelling

9. Stuart Lamont = Methodical Preparation

10. Merrilyn Hughes = Committed Victor

Each of these Rockstars are part of the Igniting Souls Tribe. This unhackable community is comprised of our clients. One recent member said this about the Tribe:

I just wanted to take a minute and share with everyone how unique I have found this tribe to be. I am a part of six groups…three are free and three I pay between $20 and $30 per month to participate. Some of the groups have more members than Igniting Souls, but they all fail miserably in the area of support and interaction.

Do you have a story inside you? 82% of the population believes they do. Ironically, 99% of those people never publish their book. As a result, when they die, so does their story.

I’ve worked with hundreds of authors to write, publish, and market their books. And here’s what I’ve realized:

“We must all suffer from one of two pains: the pain of discipline or the pain of regret. The difference is discipline weighs ounces while regret weighs tons.” —Jim Rohn

Writing a book will involve pain—EFFORT. However, NOT writing a book will involve more pain—REGRET. In my own life I’m glad I chose temporary pain, rather than the kind that lasts forever.

Listen to one of our authors Pat Gano, now 82 years-old. She doesn’t think she’s too old to write her book.

Why you’re never too old to start…Why you’re never too old to start…

Just like I believe in Pat, I believe you have what it takes too. However, you may just not have the tools…at least not yet. Click on the pic below to discover how to write your story and become an author.

Don’t let your story die inside you. Don’t live a life of regret.
