Transformation through Branding

Summer days I’ve always dreamed of being in control of my schedule, and taking a vacation whenever I want to. I don’t want to sip margarita on the beach. I just want to be of contribution to humanity and, in the process, follow my heart and enjoy the small pleasures of life. ... Having solid online systems has allowed me to work from anywhere in the world, and today I’m enjoying a peaceful morning in Phoenix before a day-long and night-long of dancing. Water + sun + dance = my happy place If your business doesn’t fit into your life, if you are a slave to your soul-driven project, I invite you to have a look at how you’ve set your online systems and packaged your services. Do they allow you to stay in your zone of genius and nourish your body, mind and soul?

I love waking up to messages from former clients who report continued alignment since our work together "I verbally tell my brand story all the time, and all I have to do is think of the "About Me" page and the group I'm speaking to, and it rolls right off my tongue. People have approached me and said they saw themselves in my story, sometimes crying, sometimes giddy. I have also gotten feedback lately that people saw me at a conference, and then saw my website, and the two... together created a full-body YES. Also, since our work together my offers have continued to streamline, and it's even easier to describe them now." If you've never done branding from the inside out before. here's some inspiration for what's possible: https://www.alinamihai.com/transformations

Do you consider yourself a thought leader? 12 years ago when I started my coaching business the vision I had for my business was working with clients 1:1 and eventually leading workshops. ~ Working with clients around the world was not on my map (pun intended).... ~ Being location-independent was a foreign concept. ~ Leading groups and speaking to large audiences - that was for the famous, not for me. It's amazing how much our world opens the more we step into our power and our leadership The ability to lead oneself turns into the ability to lead another, then the ability to lead groups, and eventually the ability to move a large audience by embodying our message so deeply, that we become magnetic. As I am getting ready to explore Costa Rica and co-create with other amazing conscious humans who embody their message and live their brand, I am connecting even more deeply with my message and the reason I'm here What is the message that is important to you enough and inspires you enough to become a thought leader? #liveyourbrand #authenticliving

What does abundance have to do with shadow work? The theme for me this month has been letting go. As I watch relationships, things and energies around me slowly dissolve, a lot of grief comes up. ... What happened that brought me joy. What could have happened, but didn't. There is no emotion I have ever felt that is more intense than grief. Unless we numb or distract, the only way is through . Which brings me to the work that I do with my clients: In order to deepen our self-awareness, step into our power, embody presence, compassion and joy, and bring more love into our relationships, we need to be able to be with our losses and our grief. ~ The ways we knew ourselves to be. ~ The ways we hoped things would turn out, but didn't. ~ The parts of us that messed it all up. Grief opens our hearts as much as love does. We tend to run away from grief, hoping to stumble into love, but until we process the material that our soul brings to the surface, our capacity to love and receive love will inadvertently be limited. And with that, our ability to open up to abundance If you are wanting more money, more love, more serendipity, more aligned clients... there is no strategy that will make up for good old inner work. Becoming a conscious human being and human giver is a journey of self-discovery, self-acceptance and letting go. by Vanja Markovic Photographer

Today in my "Personal Brand Accelerator" group program we explored the fear of being seen. The tug of war between the desire to show up, be of service and do our part, and the desire to be safe, hide out and pretend it's all good. Something magical happens when we realize we are not alone with our shadow.... The witnessing of others, with loving presence, without the need to fix anything, is the most precious gift A tenderness and centeredness naturally arises out of the pain, torment and imbalance. And, after that, only peace and calm follows. And a blossoming from within

In order to communicate something, we need to know what that something is. And guess what the hardest thing to know is? OURSELVES. Why? Because we are too close to the object of observation, and because we already have a set of crystalized perceptions and points of view about who we are, and all of that forms our IDENTITY. How do YOU communicate who you are in your personal brand to the world? ... Do you have a clear path? Does it feel confronting and challenging to dig deep and develop your message? It takes courage to expose your true identity, but it will create the most powerful personal brand possible, because there is no one else like you!

Have you ever taken a course where the information was all over the place visually or auditorily and it was hard to focus on the content? Have you ever been in conversation with someone who tells you what they do and you are super confused, but keep nodding away to be nice? These two (very different) scenarios are symptoms of brand confusion. ... The business owner has not decided what their core essence and message is, and has not taken the time to clean house before inviting in the guests. (Hey, sometimes we need professional cleaners, there's no shame in that!) That is why I have made Brand Development and Brand Strategy my jam. The benefit of doing the work to clearly define your brand is that YOU decide how you want to be perceived and how you want people to talk about you. Your brand is: The reason why a customer chooses you over someone who offers similar services, and why they keep coming back to you. The story people tell about you when you're not in the room. What is the story people tell about you when you're not in the room? How you engage with clients and potential clients matters. Make it easy for them to choose you over others in your industry.
