What is your laser focus.
Your passion.
Your unique point of view and expertise.
It’s your daring, meaningful and believable value proposition.
The one that attracts your who.
What is your why.
It gets you up in the morning.
How?
How communicates your what, your passionate point of view.
How is the motivating language, stories and experiences you create and share.

It sets you apart from others who say they do what you do.
Successful branding is simple.
Who, what and how.
Yes, it requires nuance and subtlety.

What’s hard is the focus, discipline and unwavering belief necessary to pull it off.
