I get a lot of questions from you guys about how to breakthrough and get known. I usually say, "Aim to be different, not just better". That suffices for most contexts when I'm giving surface level advice--it's a quick, punchy answer-- BUT what's missing from this POV is a crucial step...the actual way people can identify that you're "different"...and is this: YOU MUST SHOW YOUR WORK.

We’ve all been there: after spending countless hours building something - a product, a new website, a piece of art - you release it into the world, put out the word on your social channels, hold your breath and…. nothing. Crickets. Tumbleweeds.
