Breakin’ The Rules

Breakin’ the rules. That is what we are always doing here at Deviant Thinking. 

What rules am I talking about? All of those should’s and the conventional wisdom that is driving you crazy and limiting your career. 

Rule-breakers move ahead. 

Rule-breakers get noticed. 

And Rule-breakers flourish.

Rules are sneaky devils. They show up where we least expect them. They masquerade as protection, but what they really do is shackle our dreams and abilities. 

Today we explore rule-breaking. How do we identify these pesky buggers? What do we do with them? And how do we tell our well-meaning, rule-following, friends & family to take a hike when we want to break a rule. 

This is not an episode to tell you to do something illegal or immoral! On the contrary, the only crime here is you not living your life to the fullest.
