Have you ever considered what your brand values are? Whenever I teach clients and students about branding I always bang on about how important your brand values are as part of your brand foundation and strategy.

They aren't hard to work out and are often very similar to your personal values especially if you're a small business owner.

In this episode, I share what my brand values are, a super simple excersize for working out what yours might be, and I also share some stories from pals on social media who shared with me how their values have impacted different situations they have found themselves in in their business!

I would love to hear what you think of this episode, so please do let me know on Instagram where I'm @‌lizmmosley or @‌buildingyourbrandpodcast and I hope you enjoy the episode!
