How the world shift to incrementalism
100 years ago, there’s nothing called incrementalism as it is today, the world was filled with independent people, people who lived simple lives that they are happy about, societies across continents were filled with farmers, merchant who sell different goods and craftsmen whose skill in crafts that people in their society needed but after the two great wars of the world it seems that everything changed.

The battle for supremacy between countries brought about and gave birth to incrementalism, due to the advancement in fields of research and the population boom after the wars which brought about increase in consumerism, new factories and businesses were opened to quench the thirst for consumers from fashion to transportation, new brands were opening to play a role in the great task of meeting consumer’s wants.

While that is good, but it brought about something different in the society, for you to work for businesses that produce goods and services you need to be good!. What that means is that you have to have a qualification that you can do what you’re asked to do, and to do that you have to go to school.

For the fact that people who had a degree then and work for a business then lived lives that are somehow easier than people who are craftsmen, farmers, and merchants because those people live in big towns, cities that have tall buildings, attractions, wide boulevards, and unforgettable nightlife.

The craftsmen, farmers, and merchants also want that kind of lives, but it might be too late to go back and get a degree, but they have a solution and that’s their children, they want their children to also live in big cities with the assurance that their children will allow them to live with them when they are old and not only that they thought that that’s the best gift they can give their children for them to live a life that’s better than theirs.

As time passes on, their dreams came to reality and many people become attracted to kind of life because the children of those craftsmen, merchants, and farmers lived in condominiums, has a faster horse and they seem to be happy.

This belief was also passed on to dominions, territories, and colonies at that time, the aborigines of those colonies, territories and dominions and slaves living with those colonizers also want their children to live great lives as the colonizers, to speak like them and to dress like them and the fact that those colonies wanted freedom also added to it.

A change in social psychology about living a great life was in place and many people of different colors from the colonies and slaves see that the way to freedom is to also live like the colonizers especially by talking, dressing and working like them, to do that they also need to have a degree.

Many who don’t adhere were reduced to second-class citizens, whether they are white or not, Incrementalism is now in full effect, parents who thought they loved their children were the promoting channels of this theory:

To study hard, have a degree and you will have a job which will allow you to live a comfortable life(have a house, a faster horse, a wife and give birth to children)

Those children were turned in to robots, and they also started living like that, they gave birth to them, they went to school, got a degree, had a job, and create their own families and they also advertise the theory to their children (Rinse and Repeat).

Where we are now

That kind of life for me is so limited for kind of beings we are, it has affected many to see some people as divinely endowed whereas we all have great gems inside of us, it still has a greater effect on many in present times of ours.

Many parents still believe in the Incrementalism even some lads do, and like the slaves and aborigines in colonies 100 years ago who believed that to be free from their masters and colonizers they need to live like them and also the merchants, craftsmen, and farmers who are citizens with the colonizers who dreamt better lives for their children they believed that it’s only the best way to live.

What’s disheartening is that some still promote this theory on a large scale for example in the book Slay In Your Lane, the authors advice blacks who are brits to fight against microaggression present in the British society by getting more qualified educationally especially black girls, and starting a business, the authors also did mention that black females in the UK are on the top groups that have a doctorate degree but they are unemployed!

Do they have to get more degree to get reckoned with?

(While starting a business is good, but I don’t agree with going to school to get more degrees in order to be reckoned with in the society, why don’t you show them what you can do and go on the path of creating businesses that add value).

Pro Incrementalist advice is not only common but it is prevalent all around, we should ask ourselves is it still working?.

The answer all around you
Look around you, is it?. I can boldly guess your answer it’s not, Many you see are earning from what they never learn in school, that their degree never taught them. What do you think is happening?

The times are changing!. In choose yourself, James Altucher boldly said that the middlemen are been cut out and I know you will also agree if you notice the trends in employment from 2008 till date, full-time workers are reducing many businesses are even going remote and as the gig economy wax stronger the trend will continue.

The Exceptional Path
Many have become dejected because the Incrementalism never worked for them, it wasn’t like how they heard, they never got the joy they were told they will have, neither are they living comfortable lives.

Some people are wise enough to get away from the full-time path many many are still on that path.
The exceptional path is all but doing what works for you!
1. Live the type of life you won’t regret on your death bed.
2. Create a business that is exceptional ( adds value).

A life you won’t regret
On the exceptional path, you will create your own life because it’s in your hands, you will design your own story, define what you really want, what you want out of life as long as it’s not against natural and governmental laws.


A life full of stories you won’t regret, a life that creates a smile when you look back when you are going into the catacombs. The formats/steps to take is left for you to design, you won’t copy other people because their format works.

You will do things you have always wanted, that makes your creative juices to flow, I mean your passion.

On the exceptional path, you will make decisions that you won’t regret in all aspects of your life because you won’t want to regret it later in life.

Create a Business that adds value
People nowadays only do what they think works for others, they are in a business niche because many people are making it there, they follow other people’s steps blindly thinking that what works for A will work for B because that’s how he does it!.

Many have moved from one business to another because it’s lucrative, they have become Jack of all trades. While wearing many hats is good as an entrepreneur but jumping from one coast to another is really draining!

The exceptional path in terms of business is about creating a business that solves a problem thereby providing products and services that people need, and not copying how others offer their products and services but by creating and designing how to get your target market to know you are around.

How the Exceptional path is different from the Incrementalism path


The [url]exceptional path https://amosadedoyin.com/the-exceptional-path/[/url] is simple and it’s all about what you design for yourself, it’s about not copying the eccentricities of others but creating yours.

It is a part that’s full of no dogmas or templates, a path of freedom where you do things that drives you and work towards your calling it’s a path that allows you design what you want for your life, and how you can get it but the Incrementalist path is about dogmas and templates, you have to do what A does for you to also live like him.

Note: It should be noted that the Exceptional path is not about leaving school or not going at all if it’s part of the steps/format you designed, you have to go.
