Being authentic often requires us to stand apart from the rest. Although at the time it may seem easier to go along to get along, eventually when we go along to get along, we end up living an unfulfilled life as someone else instead of a fulfilling life as our best authentic self.

 

The greatest leaders and most successful people created greatness by being authentic. They didn’t just mimic other’s ideas or methods; they followed their own inner voice to find their unique path to success. So, when you’re tempted to follow others, don’t just imitate them, think about how you might apply their ideas or methods in your own way and become an authentic leader yourself.

 

This blog post was inspired by my own challenge – and revelation – with authenticity as an entrepreneur. You can listen to the first 9 minutes of our subscriber Weekly Training podcast below, which briefly describes my process discovering authenticity this morning. I hope that this quick share will help you relate to being authentic in your life.
