I like this theme John..."being different"

A while back there was a post on people needing
"motivation" and maybe they are not suited
for business. It's possible that what people
are referring to as "lacking motivation" could
be a case of finding their "authentic self"
or "being different" ...right now some of
the "new age" philosophers are putting heavy
emphasis on self empowerment through expressing
your "authentic self". I think your newsletter
and any products or services around this subject
is timely and sounds exciting to me.

Any tips you have on how you go "against the
tide" and keep afloat is of interest to me.

There is some interesting stuff on this topic
