You are
not a Snowflake
They say that every snowflake is different, unique.
(Ever wonder how “they” know that? Now that I have planted that particular seed, let’s assume it’s true. Every snowflake is different.)
I have worked with 100’s of businesses in industries ranging from rough diamonds to SAAS in over three dozen countries.
The one constant is this: every entrepreneur, manager, and leader always thinks that their business is different, unique.
Everyone believes that they are a snowflake.
“That,” they tell me, “doesn’t work in my industry. We are, industry or country or customer, or product, or weather, or time, or
whatever, agnostic. What we do is
different. “
And the ones who stay small continue to struggle, grind, hustle and work, never move beyond that belief.
Even those who eventually escape the uniqueness trap generally only do so after exerting significant energy to preserve it.
So, I’d like to help: your business is not a snowflake.
No matter what you do, from mining to childcare to space exploration, a business is a group of people coming together to solve a problem in a repeatable way.
Yes, the entrepreneurial immune system desperately wants to reject this. But here’s the thing: being like everyone else is excellent news because it means that you can use templates and proven models to take charge of your business and stop the hustle.
It isn’t hard.
It is often the belief that they are different that
holds entrepreneurs back. They spend their mental energy explaining why their business is so different, that any solution can’t possibly work.
Yeah, I have heard it all before.
My recommendation: let go of the snowflake myth. Create a repeatable process, create the machine. Instead of focusing on why things won’t work, focus on your Wealth, Freedom, and Impact goals.
Where next? It is the end of the quarter to plan the next 90 days; make them count. Here’s a
template to get started and
a course to show you how to use it.

Stop grinding, start living.

are different…)
