A Quote by Steve Pavlina on think, business, and groupthink

Think for yourself.  Unplug yourself from follow-the-follower groupthink, and virtually ignore what everyone else in your industry is saying (except the ones everyone agrees is crazy).  Do your own research, draw your own conclusions, set your own course, and stick to your guns.  When you’re just starting out, people will tell you you’re wrong.  After you’ve blown past them, they’ll tell you you’re crazy.  A few years after that, they’ll (privately) ask you to mentor them.

Steve is a strong advocate of agency and individual decisions. Such voices are  very necessary to break the spell of conformity in moving towards second tier.

Oh, Bravo, Steve Pavlina! 

This give me a smile!  This is so true - such a separation from everyone - family, friends, children - everyone.  You're there working, working - an utterly lonely path!   Yet somehow brilliant…wonderful. 

The ordinary man is one that never summoned his energy into action - never provoked it - confronted it with a challenge.  He is satisfied with what little he has on the surface - which he thinks is maximum.

A quantum leap is a must if you are to attain individuality!

…Perfect encouragement! I can feel him through the screen!
