LEADERSHIP
Being known and being imitated are different things that look similar from a distance. Attention arrives, peaks and leaves without altering how anybody behaves, whereas influence turns up in other people’s habits long after they have forgotten where they got them. The second is quieter and considerably more durable.
Ask what somebody could copy from you right now, since that is your actual reach. Do the thing worth copying rather than the thing worth noticing. You will probably never be told that it happened.
Would you rather be widely known or actually imitated?
Free, with nothing to buy inside it.
