• (00:00) - The Brand ED Bullet, Issue 12

Episode Summary:
In Issue 35 of "The Brand ED Bullet," we're delivering four quick wins to kickstart your weekend with a branding and business boost. This episode is packed with practical advice and thought-provoking insights for consultants, coaches, course creators, and solopreneurs.

What You’ll Discover:

1. Try This: Dropbox's Hidden Features
   Discover some lesser-known yet powerful features of Dropbox, such as Dropbox Transfer, File Request, Dropbox Backup, Smart Sync, and more. Learn how these features can streamline your workflow and secure your data.
2. Client Question: Direction or Destination Problem
   A member of my business coaching group asked a pivotal question: "How do I know if I'm headed in the right direction?" I explore the difference between a direction problem (right steps, wrong order) and a destination problem (right steps, wrong motives). Reflect on what challenge your business might be facing.
3. Thought-Provoking Idea: The Risk of Success
   Consider the potential impact of success on your business and yourself. I shared a journal entry that resonated with me: "It's too easy to fail while succeeding and lose while winning." Think about how success could change you or your business.
4. Personal Insight: Curiosity Over Advice
   As a consultant, I'm learning to ask more questions before offering advice. This approach helps in identifying the right problems and guiding clients to make their best decisions. How do you maintain curiosity and refrain from giving premature advice in your consulting or coaching sessions?
