For the longest time I didn't really get business. I didn't get that the soul of business was branding I learned some techniques I though would help, but I was missing the soul piece of feeling! It all happened by accident really, but one day I sat down and looked at all of my favorite brands. I thought to myself, man...I feel so hopeful and magical when I experience these brands. I was just like, hey, I want to do that too! So I did one simple thing, I decided how I wanted to make people feel.
Once I did this I got clear on how I wanted to convey this feeling. I knew it would be through beautiful images. I immediately hired a web designer and became dedicated to producing amazing photos. Although these first steps weren't that major, they worked! People got it. Almost instantly I had people writing me telling that my branding made them feel the exact way that I set out to make them feel. I thought this was THE coolest thing ever, but I was still missing something. I realized it was value.
It wasn't until I removed myself(ego) from my brand that I was able to truly build it by offering value to others. To do this I simply focused on what I could provide that would help my ideal audience. I also considered how the value I could offer related to what I loved and how I wanted to make others feel. This is where I found Brand Experience Hot Spot - the unique brand experience that only I could offer. I created a fun sheet for you to do the same.
