Business Brain Food

There are so many different marketing channels these days, so you have to work even harder to make sure your message stands out from the ever-growing crowd. That’s why we’re speaking to Gregory Diehl, a man who makes his living advising people on how to do just that.

All of Gregory’s experiences travelling the world and observing the different ways people express their values made him realise that business is exactly the same as humanity... it’s all about the narrative. Gregory has written an Amazon-bestselling book, Brand Identity Breakthrough, but today he has been kind enough to share with us his top tips about how to truly define your brand and your narrative:

** Try your best to do something where there is no competition. Be different in a very specific kind of way.

** Make sure your elevator pitch is always sharp.

** 80% of knowledge you use should be gathered from personal experience.

** Ask yourself three questions: Who am I? What do I do? Why should the person you’re telling this to care? Use the last one to adjust your instinctive answers to the first two.

** Find out what common interests your potential customers share. What kind of videos will your average customer be watching?

** You will be more fulfilled in your business if you’re doing something you personally believe in, and that in-turn will improve your narrative.

  In this episode of Business Brain Food you will learn:

** How to reposition yourself in a marketplace

** How to avoid being a business coward

** Financial planning to mitigate against failure
