Creating a great brand doesn't have to be complicated, but time and effort are needed to push the boundaries of your industry and stand out, not only from a product or service standpoint, but also from a visual perspective

When it comes to brands, there are three different terms that tend to get tossed around as one and the same. The differences between a brand, branding and brand identity can seem small, but understanding these differences will make a big impact in establishing your company.

I think many of us were wary of setting new years resolutions for 2021. Life is so unexpected and last year shocked us all into that reality.

However, don't cast away all hope.
It's good to have a positive outlook for today, for tomorrow and every day after that.

Thank you for the reminder.

This weeks Power Profile - Sara Blakely

At 27 years old, she found herself at a dead-end job selling fax machines door to door. One night, she decided to wear her new white pants to a party, but her underwear left unflattering panty lines. So she cut the feet off a pair of pantyhose and turned them into a slimming undergarment. That moment changed the trajectory of her entire life.

A light bulb went off and she came up with the idea of Spanx — hosiery that eliminates panty lines — and set to work on building her business. In 2000, Blakely used her $5,000 in savings to start her company, and by 2012, she was named the youngest self-made female billionaire.

Her journey to success was not as simple - more about her here >>

Well this is embarrassing to admit, but something tells me I am not alone. 

I used to spiral into a deep hole of disappointment and regret when I would go through my endless notes of ideas and plans I needed to implement. I am a planner, and as good as that sounds, it can also leave me paralysed and too overwhelmed to take one step forward because it all seems too much. But I am learning that done is better than perfect. No amount of planning can allow you to foresee what you'll face once you're in the ring. 

Here's my advice to you friend, start small. It's amazing how much confidence you get by simply doing that ONE THING you have been so afraid to do. 

Please let me know if you know exactly what I'm talking about?

Sending a little bit of courage your way**
