Great point Geoff! Being different does not mean being dumb Just stand out from your competition in some way. Even if it is just amazing customer service, like Zappos for example, your customers will notice and spread the word. Thanks for commenting.

As a hardcore zombie movie fan — awesome article.

I’d be sure to add; “Being different” doesn’t always mean not following the crowd. You can still stand out WITHIN the crowd. Sometimes the majority of businesses do things, because doing them another way sets you up for failure — like the guy who wanders off alone because he thinks he has some clever idea. He usually gets eaten by zombies. With wandering off comes risk (but also, sometimes, great reward).

Entertaining, informative, and I’m still scratching my head as to how this makes so much sense. Great post.

Great inspiration,
I like your point of view, especially when you say one shouldn’t be afraid to face his competitors.

Hey Alex, thanks for the kind words. Yeah, posts like these are the most fun to write. People in zombie movies really do make dumb mistakes, and I am sad to say many people in business do to. Thanks for your comment!

Wow, I love it! Comparing to zombies?! Haha, that is the creativity I like to see. Awesome ideas here dude. It’s easy to relate to zombies because of all the movies out there. And the people in zombie movies always make dumb mistakes.
