Introduction

Not Building a Strong Personal Brand
- So, you think building a personal brand is easy-peasy, right? Wrong!
- You see, no matter how big your personal brand is, it can actually make it harder to build a company around it.
- Your personal brand might not be the magic ticket to driving more than $10 million in revenue annually.
- Take a look at Kylie Jenner – sure, her personal brand is massive, but her business might not be as sizable as those corporate giants like L’Oreal.
Neglecting Consistent Marketing Efforts
- Remember, Rome wasn’t built in a day, and neither is a successful marketing strategy.
- If you don’t focus enough years on marketing the same company, you could hinder real traction.
- Patience is key; it takes over three years to start gaining traction and a whopping 10+ years to build a solid corporate brand.
- It’s like planting a tree – you need to nurture it with consistent effort for it to grow tall and strong.
Ignoring the Global Market
- Ah, the good ol’ US of A, a tempting market indeed.
- However, focusing solely on the US instead of targeting the global market could limit your growth potential.
- It’s a fact – the majority of Fortune 500 companies have a global presence because revenue generation is shifting from the US to international markets for growth.
- Sure, target the world market, but don’t spread yourself too thin by going after too many countries at once.
