Do you keep doing the same old thing over and over, hoping this time it’ll turn out differently? There’s a quote for that! It’s been quoted many times — and has been attributed to both the prolific Albert Einstein and Benjamin Franklin, among others: “The definition of insanity is doing the same thing over and over and expecting a different result.”

This post has nothing to do with insanity, but it does have to do with doing things differently. And not just differently, but in a way that shakes things up and transforms how things are done in your industry.

It gets people talking about what you’re doing and makes them want to work with you because what you’re doing is so forward-thinking, so much better than what’s already happening, and just plain exciting to be a part of.
