“What I often do is just think of a completely obtuse thing to do, almost the wrong thing to do. That often works because you start a different approach, something no one has tried.” -James Dyson

What’s the worst that happens? It doesn’t work. But it could work. If what you’re doing right now isn’t working, then there’s no risk. Take the chance to try something different. 

If everyone is doing the same thing and not seeing the results, do something completely different. You’ll learn from a different way of trying things. 

If someone is successful, it’s most likely because they’re trying a different approach. Learn from them. Figure out what they’re doing a replicate it. Do things differently. If you keep trying the same approach forever, you’ll never grow. You won’t learn. Do something else.

Gain a new perspective. Try something way off the beaten path. Don’t follow what everyone else is doing. If you want to be different, you have to be willing to try and do different things. 

Have fun with it. It’s exciting trying a different approach. You’ve done it the same way for so long. 

You cannot succeed doing the same thing the same way if it’s not working. Beating your head against the wall is not the solution. 

Be different.
