Don’t be Norm
In the TV show Cheers, there was Norm, he sat on the same stool, drank the same beer, and did the same thing day after day. He seemed to enjoy his life, but we as a viewer saw a person who was boring and just did the same thing over and over again. Don’t be Norm.
Transcript
back in the 80s there was a TV show
called Cheers in there there was a
character called norm norm Peterson and
he never changed much he basically
stayed the same he drank B he sat on the
same stool when someone's saying he
still he taught them to move he was kind
of a bit weird about that still that
spot he was normal and I'm wondering if
they called him norm because he was
normal now I might bring in yourself I
don't like to be normal I don't like to
be doing the same thing over and over
again now obviously going by norm
Peterson's life and the things he did
obviously there wasn't a problem with it
but throughout the show you noticed
everyone else changed around him
but he didn't he stayed exactly the same
he stayed true to what he believed in
now again there's nothing wrong with
that however when you're in your own
life if you do the same thing over and
over again obviously it becomes a habit
and he kind of gets stuck in that habit
and it's not always a good thing for
your life for your business I guess I
mean we're talking about tech mannerism
here so for your business doing the same
thing over and over again so it's often
good to change what you do and how you
do things because staying the same does
get stale and people around you have
probably just overtaken get ahead of you
so it's not wise to stay like norm norm
Peterson to stay normal it's always good
to change and chop you know do different
things and that's why I thought I'd make
there that's why I thought this week I'm
going to make different kind of videos
I'm gonna make them all black and white
make them completely different and stay
close to the camera so I can be close
to you and make you try to make you
understand that doing what you're doing
with your tech that's what you're here
for that's why you're watching my videos
if you're doing if you're doing the norm
if you're doing the normal things in the
computer great
you'll get by but the amount of times I
get calls by clients saying you know
I've had a computer for many years
everything is a complete mess
being norm norm Peterson staying normal
with your equipment and your technology
obviously isn't working and it won't
work so it might be an idea to the
phrases you know what's the phrase think
outside the box you know that it's it's
a cliched phrase that everyone uses
think outside the box and do something
now if you've known me full over for a
long time you know that I am constantly
thinking outside the box I'm constantly
coming up with different ideas and
constantly coming up with new ways of
doing things whether that's to simplify
or just to learn something different and
it's always good to learn new things and
do things differently so I thought you
know what let's do things differently
today let's not do the norm let's not be
norm Peterson and being the same seed
she does not choose the same scene
not in the same position and try to
explain how being different with your
technology will actually help you get
ahead and not sit in the same place and
be stale like norm Peterson anyway
that's the video today I hope you having
a great day I hope you had a good
weekend actually it's Monday today as
always keep it simple and I will see you
tomorrow ciao
