Some of the greatest professional success stories are based on sustained commitment to breaking with tradition and doing things differently.
Big rewards await professionals who find new and substantially better ways of doing things.
Right now, anything which can help your clients reduce their risk will appeal.
Search for opportunities to deliver your services differently by:
- significantly reducing your cost of production
- radically changing elapsed time to produce
- substantially reducing number of steps involved
- standardising or "packaging" what have traditionally been one-off or bespoke services
- removing or transferring any risks to your client attached to using your service
- developing a truly novel service
- spotting an industry trend which may render your service obsolete and beating the market to it
- tracking social or political trends which impact your market and responding truly proactively
- challenging accepted wisdom in an industry or market.
Now more than ever, the best opportunities derive from doing things differently - and better - before you're forced, before your competitors, and well before your services are obsolete or even "ho hum".
