Crowds

# Chapter 216

Don’t try to stand out from the crowd. Avoid crowds altogether. - Masterminds.

This is the mantra of the get-it-done crowd. Don’t look at what others are doing, instead focus on what you should be doing and let that be what sets you apart from anyone else. But don’t even think about that, because you are all in on what you are doing, not what other people are thinking or comparing. It is the attitude that makes certain that the MIT’s are completed and accomplished and that there aren’t any intersections between others and your tasks. It is the the consummate skill of the highly accomplished - utter intensity on what you need to deliver, not what everyone else is focusing on or doing. These are rare skills indeed. You need this and so do I because this is the path to high competency and the best skills.

And avoiding crowds altogether is the just taking this to the natural next level. Stay away from crowds who are talking and comparing, and instead sit down and do the work. Crowds don’t ever do the work. They are navel-gazing destructive teams of do-nothing cohorts. Crowds can only set the tone and standard for the bottom feeders. You want to do something unique and stellar and that will never be found in the crowds. So stay away from crowds altogether. Enough said.
