Top Takeaways:

To stand out in business, do the opposite of what is normal. Do what the competition is not doing.
Three areas where you need to find your “Yellow Tux”
1. Yellow Tux yourself – Have a mirror moment. Figure out what frustrates you about your life and how you can start over. Then, figure out what you are best at and run with it.
2. Yellow Tux your business – Have the same mirror moment. Focus on the areas you are best at and don’t force yourself to do the things you aren’t skilled in.
3. Yellow Tux your legacy – Think about the difference you make, and not just on your accomplishments. Significance over success is what you should be after.
Six steps to creating attention, standing out, and creating the perfect customer service experience:
1. Have a mirror moment – Look at where you are and where you would like to be.
2. Ask the best question – What can you and your company be the best at?
3. Embrace the different mindset – Whatever is normal, do the opposite.
4. Hello world moment – Create attention to stand out.
5. Love your customers more than you love your product.
6. Make reinvention part of your DNA – Change constantly in order to create attention.
