Reinvent Yourself Week - Prioritization and Implementation

SPECIAL OFFER! Don't forget - there's still time to WIN a book by helping build the audience for this blog. Check out how right here!

“If you invent your own instrument, you’re automatically one of the top three musicians in the world on that instrument.” - Matt Goldman, Co-Founder of the Blue Man Group (August 2008 “Inc.”)

Try to narrow to 10-15% of your original ideas, and then begin looking for elements that you can put together to create a new category with which to describe your talents. Ideally the category should be distinctive and defined in a way that you become the only answer to, “Who are the best people who can do this?”
