Eat the brand-elephant.
I was reminded the other day about the old adage of “How do you eat an elephant? One bite at a time” Isn’t that such a great metaphor for building your brand as a solopreneur?
One chunk at a time…
- Remember that you are an individual and thus can only take on one task at a time, don’t beat yourself up when you haven’t yet reached global brand domination-that is your intention right? Your day will come my friend. One bite at a time, don’t choke trying gorge on this brand-beast in one sitting.
- A luminous brand is an identity from the heart. If you don’t understand what’s going on for you inside, you won’t be able to share it with the world outside. Period. Take a bite into that juicy hunk of the brand-elephant called “life-purpose”, listen to what your gut is calling you to do in the world-explore it and have the faith to ACT on it.
- It takes time AND this is a good thing, it means you can savour every mouthful, appreciate the unique unfolding of flavours, reflect on the impact you are having at every step of brand journey. Enjoy! Nobody does “you” like you do you, they never will. You are a unique brand and thus, so is your business. Full awareness of this means you don’t have to rush in case someone gets their first.
