Evolution of Brand

Top 3 Takeaways From This Value-Packed Conversation:

• It's a saying that's been echoed through the annals of time, but it bears repeating: ALWAYS underpromise and overdeliver. That type of communication will not put you in awkward positions with your clients and allow for realistic expectations to set and met
• With the way social media has evolved (and what Gary Vaynerchuk has deemed "the TikTokification" of social media), it's important to discover what your target audience responds to and, once you do, don't deviate from that type of content. Many people strike gold with a certain piece of content, then try something different. Instead, double down on the content that delivers results
• Effectively analyzing data collected from social media campaigns can lead to more conversions...which is the most critical piece for all brands. It's not about vanity metrics. It's about generating content that drives sales and customer acquisition

Top 3 Takeaways From This Value-Packed Conversation:

• For the average company, if you can increase sales by 1%, profit goes up 3.5%. If you can reduce your cost 1%, profit goes up 5.5%. But if you can increase your price or reduce your discounts by 1%, profitability goes up 11.3%! And a 1% change can be easier to implement
• Some buyers want a discount simply because they feel they should get one. In some cases, it may make more sense to provide additional services instead of said discount. But beware...sometimes those same buyers will want the discount IN ADDITION to the additional benefits you offered
• If people trust you can deliver the transformation they seek, price is not the biggest factor. It's all about the value you're providing and when the right customer has established trust, they'll be willing to make a larger investment, thus paying you what you're worth

Top 3 Takeaways From This Value-Packed Conversation:

• It's not always that you're the most polished speaker or presenter. The best thing you can do is make yourself visible and let your authentic personality shine through. When you do this, your vibe will attract your tribe
• If you've got a story, experience, or something that relates to a core value and you keep repeating it, people will begin to associate you with that very thing. You'll be come "the girl who talks about mindset" or "the guy that talks about signature stories." These signature stories will give people a powerful way to connect with you and resonate with your message, most times relating it their own personal experiences
• How do you show up with confidence sharing your story, especially in the beginning when you first start off? You just do. Nike built an entire brand around this philosophy. The more you master repetition and get incrementally better at your craft, the more confident you become. The more you tell your signature story, the more confident you become in delivering it

Top 3 Takeaways From This Value-Packed Conversation:

• Your thoughts and how you see something is how it's going to be. So if you fear something in your mind, it's going to be difficult to overcome that fear...or not have it play some sort of role in how you function. Combine that with the conditioning we get from media about the negativity in our world and it can alter your mindset in a big way if you don't put effort on accentuating the positives
• When we're toddlers and children, failure is expected and it's ultimately how we gain the cognitive function to do everything we do (move, crawl, walk, talk, etc). But for whatever reason, we run from failure as adults and don't embrace it for the positives it can bring us. Embrace failures and learn from your mistakes - it's the only way you can continue to grow and evolve
• One of the big reasons why many people don't want to shift their mindset is because it requires shattering limitations and moving beyond your comfort zone. In order to grow beyond your capacity, you need to stretch yourself. You're either growing or shrinking...and growth requires the right mindset and a willingness to take steps beyond the comfort levels that offer no challenges

Top 3 Takeaways From This Value-Packed Conversation:

• An "expert" is someone who is well-practiced in a specific area of expertise and has an evidence trail leading to what they do. But thought leadership takes things to a higher level by creating a "water cooler" of specific topics that makes people gravitate to the valuable advice and guidance you're providing
• When it comes to what you post for content, a general rule of thumb is to not post something you'd look back on in your later years and regret. There is a sense of permanence on the Internet and, if you feel something you'd post today would make your future self roll their eyes, save it. Not everything needs to be posted online!
• Content strategy isn't just about posting your own. It's about interacting with other people's content that's relevant to your niche. Comment, share, provide additional insights, respectfully disagree and explain why. It's all about collaboration and helping each other grow

Top 3 Takeaways From This Value-Packed Conversation:

• You should never fear failure. The bigger thing to fear is regret. Failure is inevitable AND there's a ton to learn from your mistakes. But regret is hard to rectify and, looking back, there may be chances you wish you took if you failed to take action in the moment
• We all start at square one. On a scale of 1 to 10, you don't need to be a 10 to help others achieve their goals. If you're a 4, you can position your message to resonate with the 1s, 2s, and 3s and help them progress on their success journey. In turn, this experience will help your skills and "ranking" increase as well
• A typical Google user doesn't go beyond Page 1 in their search results. When you look beyond those Page 1 results, the information starts to move further and further away from your desired solution in most cases. This is an excellent way for bloggers to identify opportunity and discover how to content to rank in a better position to be discovered and, over time, move up the ranks to the top results

Top 3 Takeaways From This Value-Packed Conversation:

• The greatest rewards and the most significant growth is experienced by leaders who are willing to take leaps into the unknown! If you want 10x or even 100x your business, you can't do normal things. "You can't do it incrementally...you have to do big stuff to move forward"

Top 3 Takeaways From This Value-Packed Conversation:

• Whether you're flipping the script in your world, rolling out a new initiative in your brand, or on a mission to make subtle changes in your life, there is one common denominator that ties it all together and makes everything move forward: ACTION. If you don't take action, NOTHING will change
• Find ONE THING that will move the needle and focus on that. Too often, we consume a podcast or a book and feel we need to implement EVERYTHING we just learned. And that's impractical. Put emphasis on one thing that will put you in a better position to win and don't stray until the needle moves. Then, build on your efforts from there
• "Digging deeper" into what makes someone tick and not simply accepting surface-level answers is a great way to have more meaningful, genuine conversations with those in your circle, thus leading to more rewarding relationships

Top 3 Takeaways From This Value-Packed Conversation:

• Self-limiting beliefs can stem from all of the information and messaging telling us you can be doing so many things better and, when you don't live up to what you've consumed, you start to question yourself. It can also stem from your upbringing - if you have people in your formative years embedding negative thoughts, it can continue to persist as you become an adult. Accentuate the positives at all times!
• No matter how hard you try, you will NEVER please 100% of your audience 100% of the time. There will always be people who disagree...and that's OK! Everyone's entitled to their opinion. That said, if someone takes time out of their day to leave a negative comment on something you post online, that's more of a reflection on them than it is on you
• Self-sabotage and a fear of success is a self-limiting belief that can absolutely derail you without warning. It seems counterintuitive to your efforts, but new levels of success lead to new challenges you need to face. For some people, that may be too much...so they'll flirt with stepping over the finish line without fully committing so they remain in their comfort zone
