Building Brand You

Welcome to Building Brand You™, the podcast that helps you accelerate your success by unlocking your greatest asset – you.

KEY TAKEAWAYS

If you don't understand why there's a gap between where you are and your vision, you'll never persist with what's required to get you to your aspiration, nor will you be able to articulate why it's important to bridge this gap to others.

As we build our movement and our brand, we resonate with and invite others to follow us and become part of our movement from wherever they happen to be.

It's easy to get swept away with the vision and purpose of our movement and forget that we actually need to onboard others as they come along, whether their colleagues, compatriots, followers, other influencers.

Take those moments to look ahead, keep connected with your vision, and then evaluate the right shortcut to keep moving forward and the right milestones to keep on track.

KEY TAKEAWAYS

"You are important, you are the most important person in your life. And if you can help yourself by eating well, and living better, you will find the motivation and energy to move forward" - Simon Boyle.

Finding your flow also means knowing where you're good at. It's time to stretch yourself more.

It's not about the strategy being endless and the purpose being really defined, it's emergent, and it's emerging with the circumstances.

"Happiness is not at the end of the road, it is the road" - "Happiness is the Road" by Marillion.

Welcome to Building Brand You™, the podcast that helps you accelerate your success by unlocking your greatest asset – you.

KEY TAKEAWAYS

The power of your personal brand lies not in your own perception of what it is, but in how consistently and authentically others experience you. It exists in the world around you.

Trust takes time to build and telling your stories consistently, frequently and over time, not only gives us personal gravitas and authenticity, it allows others to remember what we stand for, where we fit in their world, and what we can be counted on for. In other words, it starts with you.

The seven lenses explored—Healthy Mindset, Healthy Body, Healthy Brand, Healthy Business, Healthy Workplace, Healthy Systems, and Healthy Planet—are reaffirmed as interconnected ecosystems that create profound, often unforeseen impacts.

Expanding your influence from building brand you to building beyond you - into a "constellation of thinking and learning" - allows you to contribute much more meaningfully to the greater good.

Directing your privilege to forge new spaces for inclusion and collective leadership holds you responsible for pushing against conventional methods and helping those with less advantage.

KEY TAKEAWAYS

Life is like a buffet, you pay the price, you come in and you enjoy it.

A customer is a transaction and a client is a relationship.

There are three things a business should have - an artist, a dealmaker, and a manager.

In order to become a business owner, you need to have systems, leverage, and have the company running without you.

Rebel Ideas: The Power of Diverse Thinking by Matthew Syed - https://www.amazon.com/Rebel-Ideas-Power-Diverse-Thinking/dp/1473613949

ABOUT OUR GUEST:

Johann has spent his entire career solving problems and fixing businesses. He discovered the power of systemization and leverage in his early 20's, where he built his first ecommerce business.

This knowledge allowed him to grow not only his business but his clients as well.

One of his latest businesses has reached a valuation of 8 figures in 2.5 years.

Johann has significantly increased the bottom lines of over 1,000 clients in more than 40 industries worldwide. He does this with a focus on technology and utilizing the systems he has built over the last two decades.

Johann has an uncanny ability to increase business profit, wealth, and success. He uncovers hidden advantages, overlooked opportunities and undervalued possibilities. This skill set has captured the attention and respect of CEO's, best-selling authors, entrepreneurs, and marketing experts.

Johann's clients range from top tier banks to private business owners. But they all have one thing in common – all of them have profited significantly from Johann's expertise. Many clients acknowledge that Johann's efforts and ideas have led to millions of dollars of profit increase and that he is their secret weapon in their war chest.

Trust is not always about liking something. It's about understanding what to expect.

Amazing workplaces have a high level of trust, where communication is effective and transparent, and the values are more than just a frame on the wall.

Upset happens when intentions are thwarted, and expectations are unmet.

Clear and understandable goals are a critical part of providing meaningful workplaces.

KEY TAKEAWAYS

Nutrition and inner health are the keys to staying in our best shape, mentally and physically.

Our body is the engine of who we are and what we produce.

The most obvious symptom of being unhealthy is gaining weight.

Your physical health has a profound impact on your mental health and mood.

Health underpins the quality of our life.

Your brand is how you show up. Giving your mind a bit of space and allowing time for exercise, the more organized you can be.

Welcome to Building Brand You™, the podcast that helps you accelerate your success by unlocking your greatest asset – you.

KEY TAKEAWAYS

Putting yourself out there will not just build a network, but also demonstrate your ability and credibility to deliver a result.

People buy on emotion and justify on reason.

People are not 100 percent driven about the almighty dollar and getting paid the big dollar. They want a level of flexibility, they want a level of work-life balance.

It's not what you know, it's not who you know, it's who knows you.

"You get knocked down, you get back up, and you've got to keep doing that until people say yes because the yes will come because of the tenacity and the endeavor, and all those sorts of things and your ability to demonstrate success that you actually can get the results on the board" - Jason Burgess.

Be prepared to tell your story. It doesn't happen by osmosis, you have to actually tell your story. If you can't articulate those wins and who you are, and what you stand for, there's no trust, there's no building a foundation between you that could develop either into job offer or a client or whatever that is.

ABOUT OUR GUEST:

After growing up in a small country, Kilmore about an hour north of Melbourne and attending Assumption College teaching him strong people values, and work ethics Jason went on to successfully complete a Bachelor of Business in Commerce and Finance at Monash University.

Jason's career initially commenced in Finance with a major TV network, Network 10 before realising and making a change to a passion of his towards a people-oriented career in Recruitment.

For over 25 years, Jason has worked within the Recruitment industry in large corporate environments in end-to-end consulting positions as well as Senior leadership positions managing highly successful teams.

It wasn't until having a family and realising the need for work life balance he established his own recruitment business in Max Executive which focuses on mid to senior level Sales and Marketing positions both nationally and internationally across FMCG, Consumer Goods, Hospitality and Retail Franchising as well as Sport and Leisure sectors.
