7 Steps For Building A A Brand That Matters
STEP #1 DECIDE i f you’re trying to build a  long term sustainable brand Requires more patience with revenues & profits  in order to lay the foundation Decide sooner rather than later
STEP #2 FIGURE OUT VALUES AND CULTURE.
[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object]
STEP #3 COMMIT TO TRANSPARENCY Be real, and you have nothing to fear Your culture is your brand Don’t try to be someone you’re not
STEP #4 VISION …. “ Whatever you’re thinking, think bigger.” Does the vision have meaning? Chase the vision, not the money…
[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object]
Entrepreneurs: “ What would you be passionate about doing for 10 years even if you never made a dime?”
Employees: What’s the larger vision and greater purpose in their work beyond money or profits?
INSPIRATION vs. MOTIVATION
STEP #5 BUILD RELATIONSHIPS (not networking) Be interested i nstead of trying to be interesting
STEP #6 BUILD YOUR TEAM “ If you want to go quickly, go alone.  If you want to go far, go together.”  (Al Gore quoting African proverb) Hire slowly Fire quickly
STEP #7 THINK LONG TERM Repeat customers Customer service There is no “get rich quick” formula “ Overnight” successes are years in the making (both personally and in business)

TAKE A STEP BACK What is your goal in life?
HAPPINESS
Research has shown: People are very bad at predicting what will bring them sustained happiness. “ When I get ___, I will be happy.” “ When I achieve ___, I will be happy.”
There is a science  behind many aspects of business  including conversion,  psychology of buying, direct marketing, customer acquisition metrics, repeat customer behavior, etc.
What if you spent just 10% of your time  studying and learning the SCIENCE of happiness? How much happier could you be?
A Few Different Frameworks of HAPPINESS
Perceived Control Perceived Progress Relatedness Vision/Meaning (Being part of something bigger than yourself)
Maslow’s Hierarchy
3 TYPES OF HAPPINESS Rock star (Pleasure – chasing the next high) Flow (Engagement – time flies) Meaning (Being part of something bigger than yourself)
RECOMMENDED BOOKS Peak Chip Conley Tribal Leadership Dave Logan, John King & Halee Fischer-Wright 4-Hour Work Week Tim Ferriss Happiness Hypothesis Jonathan Haidt
What % of your time  do you want to spend  learning about the  SCIENCE of happiness? How can the SCIENCE of happiness help your business, your brand, and yourself?
