An Introduction to Motivational Speaking
Everybody speaks. Some people speak and get elected president of the United States. Other people speak and armies of business people take to the streets, generating huge sums of money. Still others speak and people’s lives change. What makes for difference between those who speak and are received by a rapt audience, and those who merely fill the air with noise?Speaking clearly and effectively is a science and that science is called motivational speaking. For some it is more art than science but unlike art, true moti

Let’s see, which came first the chicken or the egg? While the jury is still out on that old story, I recently realized that many entrepreneurs don’t clearly understand the difference between branding and marketing.
I’m here to set the record straight once and for all! The findings might surprise you and will forever change the way you look at your business.
Branding
How is that you choose one product over another? You do so by considering price, availability, evaluating the high touch elements of a company like customer service, respect you have for that company, and then of course product quality.
A brand therefore is the combination of aesthetic and emotions that gives a consumer (or business buyer) a reason to choose one product over another. It communicates a unique quality or a value promise that sets a business apart from their competition.
Branding isn’t just for large corporations either. Entrepreneurs, coaches, consultants, virtual assistants, small businesses in general are now packaging themselves as products with press kits, tag lines, websites, blogs, and portfolios allowing their clients to EXPERIENCE their personal brands.
A common misconception is that branding is just a clever phrase for PR spin and that’s just not the case! Great personal branding is AUTHENTIC and allows you to be your true self. It’s not about creating a special persona that you “show off” in front of your clients. Instead, it’s about understanding what is truly unique about you: strengths, skills, values and passions – and communicating those attributes consistently to differentiate yourself and guide your business d

Promotional T-Shirts Make A Fashion Statement
Custom printed t-shirts have been a fashion staple since the late sixties and early seventies when you could walk into a mall and order yourself a t-shirt printed with your choice of words or t-shirt transfer. Even before that, many companies found that promotional t-shirts could turn them into small-town heroes – when they were worn on the backs of a winning (or losing) youth football team. These days, the promotional t-shirt has come full circle to become a fashion brand statement. It’s become one of the hottest promotio

Is Your Advertising... Sexy?
Ever hear the term 'sexy' advertising? It's not necessarily what you think. Sure, some people's idea of sexy advertising is hot babes in bikinis spraying beer all over each other, but that's overtly sexual and not what we're about to discuss here.Do you engage sexy advertising in your marketing campaign?

Personal branding is all about differentiation and is what makes you outstanding so you stand out from the countless offers your target audience is bombarded with.
Marketing
The American Marketing Association redefined Marketing based on shifts occurring in the business of marketing. They now define marketing as: An organizational function and a set of processes for creating, communicating and delivering value to customers and for managing customer relationships in ways that benefit the organization and its stakeholders.
If we were to re-word that definition (slightly) for the solo pro it could look something like this: A set of systems for creating, communicating and delivering value to clients and customers for the purpose of creating winning customer relationships in ways that benefit you, your business and market.
What value are you delivering? In what way are you, and your business delivering that value? Those are just some of the questions that are addressed in the brand development process. You see if you go to “market” without a clear brand value position you’ve got to ask yourself “what am I marketing?”
In the world of personal branding, you are always marketing and promoting YOU first. We don’t choose to work with institutions or businesses. No, no. W
