The most expensive vodka

from Derek Sivers

There is a vodka company that advertises itself as “the most expensive vodka you can buy”. It’s enticing. It’s almost a dare. (And it proudly excludes people!) While most companies are trying to be the cheapest, a few do the opposite and aim to be the most expensive. Most people try to imitate current trends and styles. So I suggest you boldly declare that you are something totally un-trendy — the opposite of what everyone else is trying to be. Advertise your live show as “the most boring concert you’ll ever see.” Call your music “the most un-catchy, un-memorable, un-danceable music you’ve ever heard.” Tell the music industry “this music has no hit potential whatsoever.” I’ll bet you get people’s attention. It’s almost a dare.
