[...] Now think about social media. Better yet, think about marketing. Think about your brand. Now consider all the fanfare you’ve heard about social media… all those large numbers. The urgency to start now before it’s too late. All those statistics mean to me is that the online world is a whole lot bigger than the offline world. So you better be prepared to really bring it if you intend to win. STAND OUT. Be extreme. Stop thinking turn key and start thinking custom. Don’t just think outside the box. Break the stupid box.

Great article, continue to think out of the box! It does wonders for you! We also stepped out in faith and in the process stepped right into home inspections right before the market turned downward, so we’ve had a few boxes to break also. Keep on keeping on, many blessings to you my friend!

Yes, I have always chuckled a little when people say “think outside the box”. Very over-used and not clear to most….including me. I have always felt I was in the box, very purposefully setting my goals, objectives and open to change THEREFORE preparing for whatever is OUTSIDE THE BOX. Being ready, steady and focused seems to be where you are right now. The best is yet to be…..as long as we continue to move forward and embrace change. Maybe that is part of thinking outside the box.

Great post Chris. There is nothing safe anymore and there is nothing traditional. You need to feel your way through, learn from others but not necessarily follow their steps. Today’s business model reminds of Barry Sanders, to me the greatest running back ever. What made him so good was his vision. He could feel his way through any line. He could avoid those who were trying to take him down. When the moment was their to seize, he gave it that spurt of energy and the victory was his. I love your box analogy…. to be great and succeed you must make your own model and see it through. Thanks for the post.
