The Branding Fallacy
Your Branding might be killing your business
Beware of the branding zombies. They regurgitate meaningless mantras like "branding is good", "you need a brand" and "we can help you develop your brand." These creatures only want your life blood. Unfortunately these zombies don't look like the ones in Michael Jackson's Thriller video. They look like you and I. They call themselves branding consultants, marketing agencies or graphic designers. And they try to sell you snake oil remedies.

How can volunteers get more done in these tough times? Teach them to fish.
Hamilton, ON - September, 2009: Charities and nonprofit associations are invisible victims of hard times. Why? Because failed fund raisers and declining memberships don’t grab attention. It’s tough to compete with employee layoffs and business bankruptcies.

If it's rare - it's more valuable

Loved your short video "This goofy guy is who I am" - In business and life we really do have to be "WHO WE ARE" - There are too many professionals out there trying to "Fake It Till You Make It" mindsets.
