How Outsiders become Game Changers
Outsiders Personality Traits : Unconventional Success
Do you often feel out of step with the world around you?
That feeling of being apart, of not fitting in?
And you're probably struggling to find the models that fit you, wondering whether your personality and values are compatible with “this world” so that you can fulfill yourself in your own way?
How do I know if I'm really an outsider?
We're going to do a little test to find out if you're an outsider... and here's my advice on the subject, because it's a bit of a story about my life and probably yours.
Yes, it's going to be long, I'm bringing a bit of depth, but really, read on if it resonates :
The 10 Outsider traits - Test :
You think a lot (your brain analyzes, observes, seeks to understand and you think a lot, even too much!).
You dislike superficiality and drama.
You need meaning and depth in what you do and in your relationships.
You're often misunderstood and non-conformist.
You sometimes tend toward sarcasm or cynicism (you're very critical and sometimes blasé about the absurdities around you).
You need independence and freedom
You question things a lot and are very observant.
You're very sensitive (especially to others and the environment, to the point of sometimes feeling like a “sponge”).
You can't follow the path of the “masses” (fashions and trends have little meaning for you).
You've always felt that you were called to paths other than the conventional ones that society imposes as “success”.
Well, if you score well out of 10, chances are you're an “Outsider” profile, i.e. one that stands out from the crowd and is sometimes referred to as “atypical”.
This doesn't necessarily mean that you're marginal, just that you operate differently, off the beaten track.
As a result, you may consider, and so does society, that you have little chance of succeeding because you're not one of the “favorites”, but this position also brings advantages...
The problem with underdogs
They try to make you believe that you're the problem.
That you need to “change”, “make an effort”, “fit in”.
But the real problem isn't you, it's the rules of the game that aren't adapted to you!
Perhaps you've already tried out some of the classic methods, strategies and paths that can be found just about anywhere...
What's more, as you're concerned about the outside world, you're sometimes subjected to it, with people who abuse your kindness and environments that can drain your energy, when it's not your own over-intellectualizing ruminations that do it...
For a long time I myself tried to adapt: socially, in business, in certain sports... But it took too much effort...
Despite all these efforts, you have this constant feeling that something's not right, that it doesn't fit!
And why is that?
Because these tips are designed for the majority, for those who fit the mold.
But if you're an atypical, an outsider, these methods aren't for you.
They can't work because you don't function in the same way as others. But it's not inevitable, far from it...
The key is tostop conforming to standardized methods and start creating your own rules. Because what works for the majority doesn't work for an Outsider like you.
Instead of telling yourself that this world isn't compatible with your way of working, your values and aspirations, change your perspective:
Stop over-adapting!
When you're always feeling out of step and out of place, you start to hear:
“Stop worrying!”
“Why don't you do what everyone else does?”
"But you're too... sensitive... kind... emotional... intellectual... the list goes on... !"
So we try to fit the mold and follow the rules known as “best strategies”!
I have lots of atypical clients who do this: they try to follow personal development, productivity or business strategy methods that require an insane amount of over-adaptation.
But nothing works in the long term. You end up feeling even more lost, exhausted from trying to fit into a mold that wasn't made for you.
Then one day, something clicks: 💡
“What if, instead of trying to conform, I created my own rules?”
I had that click! That's when everything changed for me!
The day I decided to follow my flow, everything became more fluid.
By changing my perspective, I began to carve my own path, to assert myself, to create my own rules of the game.
I turned all my atypical traits into advantages and decided to really listen to myself... and to other people who might be like me!
So, yes, when I started doing things my own way, I had quite a few people who didn't understand what I was doing, even finding it odd at times, especially in business, but that didn't matter: I was ME!
And the best thing of all:
The advantage of being an Outsider
You're at an advantage! Nobody expects you, few people understand you, which makes you unpredictable and unstoppable!
Let me explain:
I very quickly arrived on extremely saturated markets, with big competitors who had more visibility and resources... But I broke the game with Positive Revolution in 2014, Gamentrepreneur in 2017 and Flowtasking more recently.
I don't play on terrain that doesn't suit me, I create my codes and express my multipotentiality in my projects.
Whether in the job market or in entrepreneurship, adopting underdog strategies really helps you stand out from the crowd and differentiate yourself.
But it's a balancing act, the trick is not to become completely “weird”🤪 but to use your strengths.
It also means taking responsibility, asserting yourself and expressing your full potential. This has an impact on our relationships, our career and our own well-being.
We're no longer here to suffer, to be taken for a ride, to over-adapt or to react, we're making our own way!
Everything becomes so much simpler when you're yourself!
That's why I've developed a new approach, a new path:
🌟 The Outsider Strategy: a method that enables you to stop over-adapting and succeed without compromising on who you really are.
I share the experience I've gained that enables you to consolidate the following 5 pillars:
Your foundations (roots): Build the roots that make you strong and solid, so you can evolve in your flow (you'll always be where you belong in the movement).
Self-affirmation: Never again be subjected to the environment, nor devalue yourself, so that you can reclaim and protect your time and energy without letting the environment steal them from you.
Relationships: Build healthy, self-respecting relationships. No more “too nice”, no more justifications, no more draining of energy and time, no more over-adaptation... You'll never feel so weird again that you have to apologize for being who you are.
Elevation: take a step back to protect your energy and become unflappable.
Expansion: Move forward without becoming scattered, constantly starting over, going in circles or losing yourself again.
This program was created by sharing what I wish I'd had 15 years ago that would have saved me so much time!
I'm sharing advice that I don't share anywhere else, reserved for Outsiders who really want to fulfill themselves without sacrificing who they are and their values!
I've decided on a gradual launch, which means thatthe price of the program will increase more and more during the week! What's more, you won't be able to take advantage of the one-off launch price... and certain bonuses!
We've already had a huge number of orders since the live event, and it's been a huge success:
Best regards,
Johann
PS: The announced bonuses will only be sent to registrants before 11:59pm on October 31st.
