Dussault<\/div>\n<p>Remember when you first launched your business? If you were like most people you did what other people in the industry did. Of course you developed your own processes and systems etc. but by and large you followed the mould of those that have gone before you.<\/p>\n<p>This process of copying what other businesses have done is called mimiticisomorphic behavior. What academics have found is that an industry company will mimic the behavior of other companies and the actually &#8216;morph&#8217; into them or become like them.<\/p>\n<p>What does it mean to behave antimimeticisomorphically as a company? It means that you do the opposite of what other companies do.  In other words the market leader goes left &#8211; you go right.<\/p>\n<p>Most people in business follow like sheep. They study closely what their competitors doing and then do the same. This creates an &#8216;average&#8217; middle ground of results because by definition if you are following the crowd you will get average results.<\/p>\n<p>What if you were to start doing things differently to people in your industry? The way to do this is by asking yourself different questions? What is a better way of doing this process? What is a different way of doing this process?<\/p>\n<p>An example of this antimimeticisomorphic way of thinking is the restaurant <a href=\"http:\/\/millionaireforum.info\/blog\" class=\"kblinker\" target=\"_blank\" title=\"More about owner &raquo;\">owner<\/a> who would allow people to pay what they thought the meal was worth. This accountability producing result has helped the business boom. Do some people probably rip them off? Sure, they probably do. But, the majority of people pay rich rewards for the great service and good food.<\/p>\n<p>This is a new concept I know, so my advice to you is to start of with thinking in this new way around small things. Then when you see the limitless effectiveness on it you can scale up. You can revolutionize your business and your life with this way of thinking.<\/p>\n<p>Here are some Antimimeticisomorphic questions to ask to get started: * How can this be done differently? * If I were a client, how would I want to be treated\/received\/processed? * What revolutionary idea have I seen elsewhere that I can use in my business? * If I were a 5 year old having fun inventing the wildest company in the world (in my line of work) what would it look and be like? * What outrageous (and legal) promotion can I create?<\/p>\n<div class='uawresource'>\n<div style='italic;' class='uawabout'>About the Author:<\/div>\n<div class='uawlinks'>Author: Dr. Marc R.
