There is a classic scene from Monty Python's great movie, "Life of Brian" about how we lose our individuality when the herd mentality seeps in...

We try so hard to copy others success that we get lost
in the shuffle.
I remember a course where a well-known Internet marketer
basically told all of his students to copy what he was
doing... down to the report to use.
Unleashing an army of mini-me wannabees with each release of his program.
If you’ve been trying to learn Internet marketing for more than a nano-second, you already know there is a lot of “advice” from a lot of info marketers on how to make it.
The foundation might be solid but folks get wrapped up into following the messenger vs. paying attention to the message. Thus folks suffer from what’s known as “shiny object syndrome”. Jumping one system/blueprint/product to the next.
For example, don’t try to master all the gazillion ways there is to drive traffic to your web properties.
Pick 2 or 3 and get really good at those. And whatever you do being yourself and putting your own spin on things will lead to better things in your business than just trying to copy the guru or person whose course or e-book you just purchased.
The popularity of social media has really put an emphasis of being yourself than trying to copy someone else. So, repeat after me: “we’re all individuals”.
... if you did repeat after me, bad Internet marketer!
