ARE YOU A PURPLE COW?
Seth Godin says you’re either a purple cow or you’re not. You’re either remarkable or you’re not and that you have to make the choice or your audience will.
WHO THE HECK ARE YOU?
The hard truth is, no matter what you do, there’s someone else who does the exact same thing. And, if you’re marketing your business on the internet, there are likely LOTS of people who do the exact same thing, selling to the exact same people. So how do you stand out from the crowd?
The question is, what makes you DIFFERENT? WHY should someone CHOOSE YOU?
Did you know that less than 15% of people have truly defined their personal brand and less than 5% are living it consistently? Your personal brand communicates who you are and what you have to offer. It’s your reputation and your promise and why people should believe you. It’s how you are perceived outwardly and whether or not you will be taken seriously. What are you known for? What do you WANT to be known for? Do they match? If not, you’ve got a brand problem. During The Brand of YOU, you will identify: who you are, WHY you, who needs to know, and how they'll find out.
