Have you ever had this happen to you?👇🏼

You're in the absolute swing of it.

You've had some amazing ideas for content for the next few weeks, and your schedule is looking full to the brim.

You feel so proud of yourself, you've finally got ahead of the game.

After grabbing a brew, you head back to your desk to start writing your LinkedIn posts.

But instead of being able to bash out the captions you've planned, you find yourself questioning your ideas.

🔹Is this the right thing to share?

🔹Is this idea even good in the first place?

🔹Do you need to choose a different format to share this in?

🔹Is anyone even going to care what you have to say?

That brick wall is coming closer and closer to you, and you don't want that feeling of clarity you had this morning to disappear.

When you're trying to tackle marketing alongside everything else you have to do in business, you have to flit between things.

So sometimes, having someone you can go to, run your ideas by and help while you're coming up with a plan - with the occasional lil' pep talk along the way, can be just what the doctor ordered!

This is exactly how clients use our marketing consulting sessions. We have regular strategy time, and check-ins throughout the month to build your confidence in marketing your business.

Run your marketing experiment by DAD

DAD is Differentiate, Attract, Direct.

Mike Michalowicz is a genius at acronyms. We’re going through his Get Different process.

You can get the experiment worksheet for free at:

After you know what you are willing to spend, it is time to compare that to your marketing ideas.

Different: How is your product or service different? What will people get if they buy? What makes it stand out? How can you make it something that stands out?

Attract: How can you make it feel safe to make a purchase?

Direct: What one, simple and reasonable sized action should they take?

You can understand these principles by considering the opposite.

If something doesn’t stand out, it feels risky to buy, and the process to buy is hard or confusing - would you?

If an offer was unique, had clear value to you, was safe and easy to buy - would you?

That’s what you are aiming for in your marketing.

Next time, measuring the results.

Ever wondered how successful personal brands stay consistently on brand year after year without folding?

There’s a system to it, and it all begins with having your brand assets in place.

Here’s a simple but effective step by step guide to building your personal brand assets 👇🏽

👉🏽Brand message - What is your unique point of view or message?

👉🏽Brand Story - How did you get where you are? Why are you doing what you are doing?

👉🏽Brand Mission - What are you trying to do? How do you want to help/contribute?

👉🏽Brand personality - How would you want to move in the world? Professional? Casual? Friendly? What are your values?

👉🏽Content - You must communicate your message and ideas in some way. Content is how you communicate.

So remember,

✍🏻Clear assets allow you to create the best content.

✍🏻Content is how you communicate your big ideas to the world.

To get where you want to get, you must put your brand assets in place.

DEVELOP A PERSONAL BRANDING MESSAGE

A brand is nothing less than everything everyone thinks of when they see or hear your name. The best brands, like the most interesting people, have a distinct message. Your brand comes from your content/unique value proposition and a process of self-evaluation. It involves finding out what’s really in a name—your name. It calls for you to identify your uniqueness and how you can put that uniqueness to work. It’s not a specific task so much as the cultivation of a mind-set. What do you want people to think when they hear or read your name? What product or service can you best provide? Take your skills, combine them with your passions, and find out where in the market, or within your own company, they can best be applied. Your message is always an offshoot of your mission and your content. (You Can Do It and Happy Thanksgiving 🦃🍁🍽)

🎯 WHAT'S A PERSONAL BRAND TO YOU?

Many creators often confuse personal branding with fame.

But here's my take on it:

Personal brand ≠ Popularity

It's not about how many people know you, it's about how many trust you. Take selling trading courses, for example. People buy from those they trust, those with a track record of delivering real results.

While some gurus may be famous on platforms like YouTube and Instagram. Fame doesn't necessarily equate to a personal brand. Many rely just on ads and flashy content to attract an audience or customers, but who's buying from them? Often, it's the unaware and uninformed.

If you aim to close high ticket customers & grow your business, focus on building a genuine personal brand. Provide real value, showcase your expertise, and share authentic success stories, have a proof of work. It's not about posting massively with unrealistic hooks, it's about delivering consistent, genuine value that establishes trust.

I'm rebranding my profile, so I've put all the necessary information together for you.

If you're aiming to grow your business by 10x, building a personal brand on LinkedIn is your cheat code.

There is no perfect time to build your BRAND

Here's what you need:

-The right size visual

-The right content strategy

-The right engagement strategy

If you have the time and skill, you can do it yourself.
