Top 3 Takeaways From This Value-Packed Conversation
- Regardless whether you’re building your personal brand, a lifestyle brand, a corporate brand, or any other type of brand you can think of, your story will be a driving force that puts you on the map and gives the right people a reason to resonate with you. Don’t be afraid to tap into your authenticity and share that story with the volume turned all the way up!
- Are you surrounding yourself with people who elevate you or people who bring you down? Be aware of who you surround yourself with and be sure your inner circle has your best interest at heart. As the great Jim Rohn once said, “You’re the average of the five people you spend the most time with”
- Don’t overcomplicate your story to the point that it stops being a story and it becomes a sales pitch. Sticking to the authenticity of your story will help you keep things succinct and do what it needs to push your brand forward
