\n
To begin with, first and foremost, branding is one of the most important foundational pieces of <\/span>establishing a business. Most<\/span> people think once you have a logo, you have a \u201cbrand\u201d and are <\/span>ready to go. I beg to differ and here is why\u2026<\/span><\/div>\n
 <\/div>\n
Beyond a memorable logo, good branding<\/span> and knowing yourself<\/span> is necessary, as branding<\/span> is <\/span>about bringing out the personality and style in your busi<\/span><\/strong>ness with flair and intention<\/strong>. It\u2019s about <\/span>emphasizing your best assets and creating a cohesive and compelling look. It\u2019s about telling a <\/span>story, evoking the senses and captivating your dream clients. It\u2019s about aligning your style and <\/span>identity with your bus<\/span>iness aspirations and helping you get to where you want to be, faster.<\/span><\/div>\n
 <\/div>\n
Branding is an inspirational process for entrepreneurs <\/span>–<\/span> begin with defining your intention. <\/span>Intention will make the difference between a superficially pretty brand identity and one th<\/span>at has <\/span>traction. One that captures the essence of your business and wins your work.<\/span><\/div>\n
 <\/div>\n
It costs nothing, other than your time, to sit down and really consider how you want your <\/span>business to be perceived and appreciated by others and your community.<\/span><\/div>\n
 <\/span>
\nIt\u2019s important that your brand does the <\/span>work for you in your business!!!<\/span><\/em><\/div>\n
 <\/div>\n
In order for your brand to work for you <\/span>\u2013<\/span> it\u2019s necessary to <\/span>examine your business model, all the <\/span>corners and areas of your business and gain a strong understanding of what really mak<\/span>es your <\/span>company unique. Such as looking at<\/span> your strengths, space in the market, your dream clients, <\/span>mission, etc. Otherwise, there could be holes, gaps, disconnects, and miss communication within <\/span>your brand and business.<\/span><\/div>\n
 <\/div>\n
Also, think about YOU\u2026what do you <\/span>bring to the table and how much of yourself should you <\/span>put into your business.<\/span><\/div>\n
 <\/div>\n

Let\u2019s take a <\/span>look at some<\/span> really<\/span> important questions to consider when developing a brand AND <\/span>help you realize your full potential to step up to your brand significantly.<\/span> <\/h4>\n
 <\/div>\n
1. <\/span>What<\/span> motivated you to start or restyle your brand?<\/span><\/strong>
\nWhy are you doing this? Do you want to be taken more seriously in the market or <\/span>establish yourself as an expert? Are you launching a new business, product or service? <\/span>Whatever your motivations, be clear from t<\/span>he onset.<\/span> <\/span><\/div>\n
 <\/div>\n
2. <\/span>What is the overall mission of the project or company?<\/span><\/strong>
\nWhat is the main objective, mission or value of the company? What is the main direction <\/span>of your work, who you are serving, how you are delivering your work, etc. Write 2<\/span>–<\/span>3 <\/span>sentence missio<\/span>n statement to carry your brand from the beginning.<\/span><\/div>\n
 <\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
\n
 3. <\/span>What do you do and specialize in?<\/span><\/strong><\/div>\n
This may seem like an obvious question <\/span>\u2013<\/span> of course you know what you sell. But take a <\/span>deep breath and use this time to really examine where you are right now and where <\/span>you <\/span>want to be with your selling. <\/span><\/div>\n
\n
\n
\n

Are you selling what inspires you? Are you known for products and services that have <\/span>you leaping out of bed in the morning? And do they sell? Are there products and services <\/span>you\u2019d like to drop and others you\u2019d like to ad<\/span>d to your business? This is your chance to <\/span>gain focus or to reinvent yourself and your business!<\/span> <\/p>\n<\/div>\n

4. <\/span>What will make you stand head and shoulders above the competition?<\/span><\/strong>
\nWhen you\u2019re in the thick of running a business it can be easy to focus on wrong things.<\/span>Whi<\/span>le it\u2019s important that you understand what\u2019s going on in the market and you listen to <\/span>feedback, what\u2019s even more important is that you maintain your confidence and belief in <\/span>what you\u2019re doing.<\/div>\n
\n

Your entrepreneurial vision, your style, and your commitment <\/span>to what you do are the <\/span>greatest assets your business has: protect and celebrate them.<\/span> Take a moment or two and <\/span>focus on the things that you do better than anyone else. What do you really excel at?<\/span>What else? And what else?<\/span> <\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n

5. <\/span>Who are your profitable dream c<\/span>lients? Why do they or would they buy from you?<\/span><\/strong>
\nProfitable dream clients are the ones who value what you do and are prepared to spend <\/span>what you want to charge. They are people you need to attract more of. So who are they <\/span>and what motivates them to work with<\/span> you? What do they value about what you do?<\/span><\/div>\n
 <\/div>\n
6. <\/span>What do you find most inspirational about your business?<\/span><\/strong>
\nThe right branding can help you attract more of the clients and work that has you leaping <\/span>out of bed in the morning <\/span>\u2013<\/span> and less of the stuff that leaves yo<\/span>u with the unpleasant knot <\/span>in your stomach. Is there anything that needs to change about the way you present your <\/span>business so that you can do more of the things that you love and less of those that you<\/span><\/div>\n
don\u2019t? Be specific.<\/span><\/div>\n
 <\/div>\n
7. <\/span>What values and key traits drive <\/span>your business?<\/span><\/strong>
\nThis is quite possibly the most important question anyone in business needs to answer.<\/span>Why do you do what you do? This is about the authenticity and the drive that keeps you <\/span>going when things get tough? <\/span>You might find this question very simp<\/span>le to answer. It is <\/span>okay for both our personal and business values to often overlap<\/span>.<\/span><\/div>\n
 <\/div>\n
8. <\/span>What do you want to be known for?<\/span><\/strong><\/div>\n
 To be truly successful you need to stand out, be distinctive and create a business that\u2019s in <\/span>a category of just one. Challenge yoursel<\/span>f to dig deep and be brave. Find a spot in the <\/span>market that only you can own and use this focus to align all of your communications with <\/span>this one, compelling proposition. You can\u2019t be all things to all people, so create a <\/span>proposition so effective that it ha<\/span>s clients crossing continents to work with you.<\/span><\/div>\n
\n

9. <\/span>Who, exactly, should this new or restyled brand blow away?
\n<\/span><\/strong>Be honest with yourself here. Think broadly about who you really want to impress with <\/span>your brand. Think beyond clients. Perhaps there is a magazine <\/span>editor, blogger, media <\/span>outlet, future staff members\u2026 <\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

\n
\n
\n
\n
\n
10. <\/span>How should your dream clients feel when they look at your brand?<\/span><\/strong>
\nImagine handing your newly styled and printed business card over to an exciting new <\/span>prospect or a dream client visits your beautifully <\/span>designed brand identity on your website <\/span>or blog\u2026how should they feel? What should they think about your business?<\/span><\/div>\n
11. <\/span>How will your brand reflect your big vision?<\/span><\/strong>
\nGive yourself the opportunity to dream a little, to think really big. Why shouldn\u2019t your <\/span>business be the leading authority in the field? Why shouldn\u2019t you create something <\/span>thoroughly aspirational, something that stakes your claim as a market leader and then <\/span>encourages you to drive onwards and upwards? What would your brand need to do in<\/span><\/div>\n
order <\/span>to reflect your exciting vision?<\/span><\/div>\n
*A QUESTION TO SET YOU FREE\u2026<\/span><\/div>\n
Here\u2019s an inspiring question and thought: <\/span><\/div>\n<\/div>\n

What would you be doing with your business if nothing <\/span>were standing in your way? If you knew <\/span>you couldn\u2019t fail? Who would you be working with, what <\/span>would you be doing (or selling?) and <\/span>how would you be doing it? <\/span> <\/h4>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
**Think bigger and allow yourself to be incredibly inspired by this question. It takes courage to <\/span>dream big and think bigger than you ever thought possible and create something that truly <\/span>re<\/span>flects you and your skills. <\/span><\/div>\n
 <\/div>\n
Allow yourself to BE YOU in your business <\/span>\u2013<\/span> create the brand and life you desire because <\/span>ultimately you are an entrepreneur for a reason. Creating, designing and establishing a brand is <\/span>necessary if you desire long<\/span>–<\/span>term succes<\/span>s and fulfillment in what you are doing. Dream big and <\/span>let your brand work for you!<\/span><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"

I started my business purely to chase my dreams and have success, fun, and abundance doing it - working smarter, not harder & living the freedom life. Now my signature program \"iBlossom: Business Collective\" teaches all the secrets you need to know to uplevel your business and life for success.","sameAs":["https:\/\/www.lindseybarbara.com","instagram.com\/lindseybarbara"],"url":"https:\/\/hbb.dev.reliablepenguin.com\/blog\/author\/lindseybarbara"}]}},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/hbb.dev.reliablepenguin.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/6037","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/hbb.dev.reliablepenguin.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/hbb.dev.reliablepenguin.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/hbb.dev.reliablepenguin.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/107"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/hbb.dev.reliablepenguin.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=6037"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/hbb.dev.reliablepenguin.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/6037\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/hbb.dev.reliablepenguin.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/6060"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/hbb.dev.reliablepenguin.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=6037"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/hbb.dev.reliablepenguin.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=6037"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/hbb.dev.reliablepenguin.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=6037"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
