Ten Reasons Why It Is Important To Be A Nobody

Nobodies don’t fear that sharing knowledge and experience will diminish them.

Nobodies must impress only clients.

Nobodies pause to learn the why so the how is successful.

Nobodies move easily with the currents of change because change doesn’t threaten.

Nobodies take clients personally as well as seriously.

Nobodies take risks so clients reap the rewards.

Nobodies are writing the case studies, while others are waiting to read them.

Nobodies embrace the wisdom of crowds (there are a lot of nobodies).

Nobodies build the companies somebodies buy (Flickr, MySpace, Weblogs.com come immediately to mind).

Nobodies get to decide who is a somebody.

Such is the gift of insignificance.

You might like this quote from Robert Fuller's upcoming book, All Rise:

"Nobodyland isn't really such a bad place, so long as you aren't trying to get out. You can do a lot of good work there, and since you're out of sight, you are free to make mistakes, explore new ideas, and develop them until you're ready to try them out in public."
