When building your profitable practice, success will require you to stand out from the rest. It’s no surprise to find uncommon people are the ones who get things done. Success comes from standing out, not from suppressing the best parts of yourself to better fit in. But how do you become uncommon? What makes uncommon people so special?

When you look at people the world will define as uncommon, it’s interesting to find they share several traits, starting with how they look at the world.

Uncommon People Know What They Want

Do you have a mission statement? You can bet an uncommon individual does. They know their goals and have a clear plan in mind for how to achieve them. These are the goals that guide them in all they do. It’s no wonder they’re uncommon!

Uncommon People Know the Value of Hard Work

While most people have a good idea about what process to follow or can talk up an idea, not everyone is ready to put in the hours required to get the job done. The Uncommon person isn’t fazed by what needs to happen next and already has a mindset where they’re ready to put in the effort.

Uncommon People Start the Day with Others in Mind

If you think the uncommon individual is the one who shows up at work early, you’re missing the point. Uncommon isn’t about the time of day but more about what you do with the day’s first moments. Starting the day by choosing your first tasks to set up others for success is where uncommon people really stand out. They’re the ones who have jumped right onto the tasks no one else wanted to do or were left unfinished from the day before so everyone can have a productive and happy day.

Uncommon People Look for Ways to Go the Extra Mile

When someone is Uncommon, they aren’t satisfied with “good enough.” They like seeing people happy and will make an extra effort to make sure this happens. Why? In part because they know this is how they would like to be treated if the shoe was on the other foot.

Uncommon People Enjoy Who They Are

When someone is uncommon, they have a sense of who they are. They know what they like and enjoy expressing themselves in unique, creative, and authentic ways. They don’t need to be something else to fit in with the crowd. Uncommon people like standing out and taking pride in being who they are.

If you want to be uncommon, try shifting to these simple mindsets, and the rest will fall into place. Remember, your uncommon self is your best self. Nothing more, and nothing less.

Empathy is a trait of many uncommon people. Check out our blog post here to learn why empathy is so important in business.
