I refuse to believe that you don’t have a brand personality that people will be attracted to! As long as you’re human, you’re a multifaceted being with multiple personalities. You just need to decide which aspect of your personality you’re going to bring to the table as a business owner and highlight in your signature story—your brand story, the thing that will magnetize your audience to you. So, what makes a brand successful?
First things first. Don’t mimic other influencers in your industry. People will see right through the fact that you are putting on a show. Remember, consumers crave authenticity, so the minute that they sniff out your facade, it’ll be game over! Successful brands make real connections with their audience. They communicate with their audience, using real messages in a realistic way.
It’s so, so easy to think that all you need to do is show up in order to have a brand.
Unfortunately, my friend, that’s not enough! While you and your actual personality are major players in brand formation, showing up alone just won’t cut it.
Instead, you need to be laser focused on creating a brand that truly connects with your audience.
Having a memorable and meaningful brand story is the foundation. However, that real, signature story should also have some personality!
You want to be crystal clear on the initial impressions you’re making on your audience. Your personality as a business owner and the experience you bring will magnetize your audience to you. This is what will bring clients back to you again, and again, and again!
You see. It’s simply not enough to show up for your audience and “be you.”
Branding involves a strategy, which you can use to engage with potential clients in an unforgettable way.

Are you putting information about you and your business out into the world … but no one is listening? Do you have amazing gifts to share with others … but you’re still the best kept secret? If you feel as if noone is paying attention to you, there is a reason why this is happening … You don’t have a clear and simple message that truly connects with your audience. However, this is exactly will stop you from being a hidden treasure!
No worries. It’s easy to fall into the trap of thinking that you know what your audience wants and needs. It may be easy to listen to hearsay or what you assume they want. However, without actually getting out into the world and directly asking your potential customers/clients what they want, you’ll continue to remain lost.
It comes down to understanding your audience, connecting with them through your meaningful messages, and building a real, raw relationship with them. That’s what will make your audience perk up, pay attention, and fall in love with you. That’s also how you can quit being a hidden treasure.
Your signature story—your brand story—is a surefire way to attract people who “get you,” people who truly understand the value that you bring and want to hire you. How does this work? A brand story drives audiences to connect with brands because it speaks to where potential customers/clients are in their journey. It’s a way in which you can be relatable as an owner, while showcasing your expertise. If you’ve been where your audience has been and overcome their same obstacles, naturally they’ll be more inclined to pay attention to you.
Your brand story is the thing that will separate you and your business from the endless amounts of other people who offer the same services as you do. Annnd once you’ve hooked in your ideal clients, you can then proceed with helping them to resolve their burning issues.
When done correctly, your brand story can be the catalyst for creating a beautiful love story between you and your audience. Yes, that level of connection! The kind of connection that will bring you raving fans!
For details and examples of how this works, check out the video above about the relationship between your brand story and your audience.
Once upon a time, websites were built as brochureware. Businesses would put everything but the kitchen sink on a site, and with all of that information, it actually made the site useless for audiences. Yes, unfortunate for the end user and tragic for the business owner.
Today, your site should not only allow you to stand out as an owner, but it should also capture your unique message and essence. It should clearly explain how you can help your audience. Your audience should readily feel that your services are the only ones for resolving their problem. Your site should also guide them to where they can begin to alleviate their issue, with you helping them as their guide.
As for your brand story, your narrative also plays a role in this marketing funnel by showing up on key pages of your website. As your potential clients move through your site, your signature story will bubble up in your content, attracting your audience further to you and creating connections with you as the go-to expert. The relationship between your signature story and your website is explained further in this video.
Still scratching your head, in need of a solid brand story that connects with your potential customers/clients? Now is the time to work with me.
