businesses might be built around ideas, they’re still ultimately represented by people.
Are you doing your brand justice?
To help you, here are 30 tips we’ve aggregated from a wonderful blogpost by Navid Moazzez, featuring
37 experts.
IDENTIFY, DEFINE AND CRAFT
YOUR IDENTITY
1 NO SUGAR COATING.NO SUGAR COATING.
I’ve interviewed 100+ of Ramit Sethi’s students. A big reason why they buy his courses is they see Ramit as a guy
that tells it like it is. And Ramit has told me himself this isn’t some sort of show he puts on. That’s what I try to do. I try
to talk like myself and be myself.

If you try to be someone other than your true self online, it won’t last, and it will eventually ruin your brand altogether.

Be yourself. As simply complicated as that!

3 TO WIN SOME, YOU HAVETO LOSE OTHERS
TO WIN SOME, YOU HAVETO LOSE OTHERS
Don’t be afraid to talk about things other people won’t say. It might make you polarizing,
but it will also make you powerful. There are people who won’t like you or your brand no
matter what – embrace it.

TO WIN SOME, YOU HAVETO LOSE OTHERS
The minute I opened up and was unapologetically myself, in all I did and said, that’s when my brand was really formed and made unique, and that’s
when my tribe started gathering around me. No use trying to hide behind
something you’re not, and definitely no value in trying to please everyone.

6 PEOPLE KNOW WHEN YOU’RE FAKING IT
PEOPLE KNOW WHEN YOU’RE FAKING IT
In “To Sell is Human” Daniel Pink writes about information asymmetry … the old
“buyer beware” world where the salesman knew more than the buyer. But today we are
much closer to “seller beware,” which he calls information parity. The old “secret”
information is now there for the world to see, and because of technology it’s getting easier
to spot the fakes a mile away. But this is good for you and your audience, because
honesty prevails in the end.
CRAIG MCBREENFOUNDER, MCBREEN DESIGN
Being honest helps build trust and credibility with your audience, which will
lead to a loyal following who knows, likes and trusts you.

Show up with your whole imperfect self. Imperfection is friendly and memorable. Like that story of the Norwegian singer Samsaya who has a
3mm gap between her front teeth. When the major record labels told her to get it fixed, she refused and went on to create her own record label
and called it 3MM Records. You aren’t going to forget that one, are you?

If you are deviating from the look and feel of your brand – even slightly – it’s confusing. And it’s because you’re married to your brand that
you have to make sure it really reflects you and your personality. Always be yourself – when you are, your brand remains consistent and strong.

I love the quote by Simon Sinek that “people don’t buy what you do, they

this will be so much easier to translate to your brand, your message and the

Define and design your brand. Get a great logo done that’s representative of your

JESSE KRIEGERAUTHOR, LIFESTYLE ENTREPRENEURCREATOR, BUSINESS IN A WEEKEND
You’ve got to know what you stand for and be able to articulate your value – the benefit that
you bring to a professional situation – in a clear, crisp, compelling sentence. After all, if you
can’t define what’s special about yourself, how can you expect others to figure it out?
CATHERINE KAPUTAAUTHOR, YOU ARE A BRAND!FOUNDER, SELFBRAND.COM
16 ARTICULATE YOUR BRAND CLEARLY
ARTICULATE YOUR BRAND CLEARLY
Brands that resonate with us do so because they are able to communicate their brand e�ectively. Many businesses have very good products or services yet don’t
experience the type of success they are trying to achieve because they do not know how to e�ectively communicate their brand message to people. It doesn’t
matter how much value you o�er, how innovative your product is or how amazing you are at what you do, if you cannot communicate it to your audience.

A weak online identity is like a weak reputation. The place to
begin is LinkedIn, the number one career site. Take the time to write a compelling headline sentience
and career summary, both of which appear “above the fold” when people look you up on
LinkedIn. It’s important to have a flattering photo that is
appropriate for your career arena.

If you have embarked on the entrepreneurial journey it means
you have put in a bunch of work to figure out what defines you, who
you really want to work with, what your true voice sounds like. You’ve
created, texted and talked. You probably have an entire Evernote database and 7 notebooks full of useful text snippets and stories.
From time to time it is good to just take a blank piece of paper and ask
yourself the big questions again.
