Rodman in the Wild

What is an Outlier?

As an Outlier....

I am always willing to do the work.
I understand that my success will be a direct result of the work I am willing to do.

I work relentlessly to evolve exponentially.
Because I understand there are a limited number of days in this existence, I continually seek the knowledge necessary to reduce my learning curve.

I embrace the fact that I am different than most.
I know the way I think, the way I act, and the way I perform is very different than normal people.

I am a dreamer who executes on my dreams.
I do whatever is necessary to bring my dreams into reality.

I never sit around waiting for things to happen; I make things happen.
I don’t wait for life to happen to me. I am the creator of my own life, building the exact existence that I want to be living.

I am original, extraordinary, and simply not like others.
