Top Takeaways for this Episode:
- Do you have a ‘sticky brand’? Look at your brand critically and ask yourself these questions:
>>Would people refer me again and again?
>>Am I the top choice?
>>Am I remarkable? - Learn how to ‘tilt the odds’. This means finding your competitive advantage. Avoid being a generalist. Find the niche or market that is your sweet spot where you can be the hands down leader.
- Work on having simple clarity. If you can’t explain in 10 words or less what you do and how you do it, there’s a big problem.This is one of the hardest things to do that I’m still working on too!
