Don’t be the best. Be the only.
Taken/inspired from from 68 Bits of Unsolicited Advice.
So, how are you the only?
Help me improve my only-ness pitch:
I'm one crazy reckless mother who loves ethical indie hacking and community building like not other.
Your turn! 😍
Thanks for that link @rosiesherry really enjoyed many of the sage statements.
My question is why must we compete with others to be the "only?"
I'm not competing with anyone. I think that's the point? I'm very much focused on being myself and not comparing myself to anyone.
Interesting...
I read it as "(don't be the best) be the only one" which i translated to we must compete to be unique versus competing to be the best.
More specifically, much like Peter Theil's stance within his book "Zero to One" which is loosely "don't compete to be the best, be a monopoly (the only one)"
It's definitely a nebulous statement with varying definitions 🤓
Zero to One is what came to my mind too
I feel like any sort of advice should be always taken with a grain of salt, since there is context and bias everywhere. Good reads though.
you want me to continue the phrase "i'm the only one ..." ?
I'm only human.
