Sometimes we have to start at the beginning!
A very well know football coach, took over a successful famous team!
He stood them all in a circle and said
‘Today our training for the big match starts
First lesson -
‘This is a football!’
Sometimes we are so far down the path of 'doing our thing' that we've missed out a step without realising it...
Maybe you are making posts every day for Social Media and perhaps you're even paying for some paid ads on FB. All of these are showing you potential customers/clients who you are and what you stand for, but what if somehow right at the beginning of your journey you forgot to defined who you are, you failed to identify your values, beliefs and strengths. and just as importantly you forgot that how you look when you show up had Positive or negative affect on people.
Life is made up of very easy small actions that we do every day for a long time, but if we have accidentally missed out on-taking one of these actions, then things will not be happening as they should do.
I would even go as far to say, that everything I am going to talk about below, affects your personal Brand...

For everything you do there is one, single, easy activity that you can take over a for a long time that will affect each part of your life.

FINANCES
The greatest tip I ever read was that you should always live below you means - sounds obvious that we should do that and put away money so that it can grow but even though we know it we don't always take heed.
Don't spend your pay-rise on holidays, meals or changing something in your lifestyle, otherwise you are back to the beginning, back to where you were but just with something else you need to upkeep in paying for.
Instead look at saving extra new money that comes in and not taking instant gratification from it.
What one small step could you start today, that over time would improve your finanances?
ATTITUDE
Our attitude, comes ultimately from our thoughts – remember to monitor your Automatic Negative Thoughts – the ANT’S in your brain not your pants.
RIPPLE EFFECT
You will have watched a stone that has been thrown into a river that makes one big splash. The ripple carries on and on, showing that you never know that what you teach your child, pupils or clients will go on and effect the next generation in some way or other.
Have you ever watched the film the butterfly effect - a 2004 American science fiction thriller?
It illustrates how small initial differences may lead to large unforeseen consequences over time, which was first seen as a phenomenon by a weather information station and a worker there, who showed that a butterfly flapping it's wings sets in motion the start of a tornado a few weeks later!
PERSONAL BRAND
Is every part of you and your personality. It is taking control of which parts of that you choose to show in your business.
We all have a personal brand even if we don't have any kind of business at all, it’s what other people think about us our reputation
From our work/life perspective, we want to use that personal brand to attract people to us, but it is so difficult for them to understand who we are, because they are actually busy making assumptions about us, as we do about others, and we have to give them the right evidence/material to base those assumptions on.
Do you need to go back and see what part you are forgetting, or have never shown people?
Sometimes it's not even that we've forgotten, or chosen not to shown, it's that we are just not aware!
Come and work with me and get the foundations of your personal brand rock solid so that the effect that has can last a lifetime and beyond!
