To: The Great Leaders Who Have a Passion for Continuous Leader<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
In a recent blog, Compared to Magical, Seth Godin, entrepreneur and author, provides a new set of eyes on how competition can be viewed that broadens and deepens the richness it can bring to our lives.<\/p>\n

Compared to Magical – The easiest way to sell yourself short is to compare your work to the competition. To say that you are 5% cheaper or have one or two features that stand out — this is a formula for slightly better mediocrity. The goal ought to be to compare yourself not to the best your peers or the competition has managed to get through a committee or down on paper, but to an unattainable, magical unicorn. Compared to that, how are you doing?<\/p>\n

They go far beyond the modest tweaking of incremental improvements (great in their own right), and think of the magical, the unimagined and perceived impossible and use them as your benchmarks and inspirations to change the world. And have fun doing it.<\/p>\n

Have a beautiful day and a fantastic week!!!<\/p>\n
