Are you a one-hit-wonder?
You may be old enough to remember some of these one-hit-wonder bands and songs.
? and The Mysterians — 96 Tears
The Knack — My Sharona
Norman Greenbaum — Spirit in the Sky
Boston — More Than a Feeling
One mega-hit then nothing.
You probably know some one-hit-wonders from high school.
The star quarterback.
The basketball star.
The star of the high school musical (Gibby Jones was our high school star and he made it to Broadway!)
The head cheerleader (I dated her!).
I see a lot of one-hit wonders on LinkedIn.
Someone who was voted one of Forbes Top Influencers in 2012…
…but it’s still the highlight of their LinkedIn profile.
How about the company that was one of the INC 5000 fastest-growing companies…
In 2013 and they’re still flaunting it.
Or the coach who was featured on America’s Secret Millionaire in 2011.
When I see people promoting their decade-old accomplishments, I wonder if they’re still relevant.
