The PCC® philosophy is pretty simple and can be summarized down to, “be an outlier.” If there is anything that drives me nuts, it’s people who can’t think for themselves.
Shane Parrish shared something in his weekly blog that made me think he was interviewing Kit Pharo!
“The math is simple: if you do what everyone does, you get what everyone gets. If you want different results, you have to diverge. However, the second you do something different, you become a target. Some people criticize from fear, some from threatened egos and some from genuine concern disguised as caution.
“But criticism is the easy part. The hard part is that you lose the map. If you’ve outsourced your definition of success your whole life, having to define it yourself feels like losing GPS mid-drive. You have to build your sense of direction while you’re already moving. Most people optimize for comfort. They choose being one blade of grass among many over being a tall poppy, the safety of the group over the risk of criticism for being different. Outliers pick their own game, choose how to keep score, and then pay the price to play it.”
The world is full of competing interests. You have to do what’s right for you, your family and your business. If you don’t know where to start, come talk to someone at PCC®. We will help you become an outlier (Herd Quitter®) in no time!
