One of the most fun things to do as an entrepreneur or a small business owner is to see your brand or your logo or your artwork come to life in a physical, tangible objects, whether it's a mug or a tee shirt, or a big banner, the tanking up over your storefront. Being able to see your business and brand in a physical way for all the world to see an…

When you hear the word brand, what is the first thing that comes to your mind? For most people it has something to do with a logo or packaging or maybe a physical products, maybe a tagline or an idea. But most of what we think of when we think of brands is something visual. We think of something that we can see, and this is a huge part of what make…

One of the first elements of brand cool is the words and language that a business uses to convey its messaging to get its ‘why’ across to its customers and fans. We talk and talk and talk and talk. It's much harder to be succinct. And for this language to work in your brand, it's got to be sharp. It's got to be punchy because these days nobody read…
  continue reading
 
Instinctively, I’m sure you can relate to what I mean when I say ‘brand cool’ because we’ve all had experiences with products from ketchup to shampoo, coffee houses to cars, shoes to electronics… where we just can’t get enough of a particular brand: its cool just sucks us in. You can bet that doesn’t happen by accident. That level of desire is craf…

One of my favorite lines from my book The Million Dollar Dog Brand is ‘Be The Fox Pee.’ Sounds crazy. Well, what’s really interesting fact is that apparently fox pee is one of the most stimulating smells in the world for dogs. They love it. They go absolutely mental for it. They can't deny it. They want to roll in it, lick it. You want to be absolu…

We are now at a point where we can evolve a little bit of this brand conversation into something I call a brand statement. Now if you haven't figured out your why and you don't feel like you have this big perfect picture of the ideal brand, that's fine. Remember, what we want to achieve is to just have a work in progress. So the challenge that I'm …

One of the things that seems a little bit funny to us when we start to get out there and try and market for the first time as entrepreneurs is just how hard it is to really get people to notice what we're trying to say. There are so many businesses and products in the marketplace and it is so hard to get noticed. And one of the most important ways …

What is normal?! If there's one thing that most of us have in common that we are programmed and taught as early as we can remember, it's that we're supposed to be normal. We're supposed to be just like everybody else. We're supposed to fit in because if we stand out, then people make fun of us, they call attention to us, and that can be literally t…

So one of the things I talk about all the time as a branding expert is having a brand statement.

Of all the business models I have ever built and grown - by far the most superior in every way is a membership site.

If, like I was, you’re searching for a better business model …

A couple of years ago when I was setting about to change my whole life because I got myself into a position where I had started the wrong business, I was completely miserable and knew that I was missing out on probably the best part of my career by doing the wrong thing.

One of the things I remember dreaming about and worrying about from a really early stage in my business is how I was going to get income or revenue in. That wasn't so hard.

I believe that there are four seasons that every entrepreneur goes through from being a Newbie, just starting out to a seasoned business owner who has a freedom and fulfillment, which is sponsored and paid for by their business.

So often as business owners we seem to gravitate towards the hard thing. We over complicate, we add layers, we go 10 steps when 4 will do. Many of us are somewhat obsessively driven to bring perfect things into the world, to tell the WHOLE story (heaven forbid we leave out a single detail) and to give EVERYTHING we’ve got into EVERY endeavor. Visit…

The Art of the Graceful No As entrepreneurs, most of us are pretty damn keen to get more done, in less time.

One of my favorite books (and probably one of yours too if you’ve read it) is Big Magic by Elizabeth Gilbert. If you haven’t read it - move that to the top of your reading list!
