My most successful business friends are also the weirdest

❤️ The benefit of being strange

I started my business journey in 2013.

It’s amazing how people come and go.

Looking around now, very few people from the beginning are still here.

They disappeared, changed directions, don’t write about what they do anymore,

I don’t know.

BUT the people who are still here,

my friends who have a level of prominence and success?

Well, there is something I am noticing about them all.

  • They are weird!
  • They didn’t do things like everybody else.
  • They stand out.

❤️ And in all honestly, being weird is probably what attracted them to me in the first place.

Because I could relate.

I used to feel different

AND I used to have an intense fear that it made me unsafe.

It made me unrelatable, unloveable, and unable to be successful…

or so I thought.

Because it turns out, that nothing could be further from the truth.
