Code Word: Branding

It's not what you say, and It is how you brand It! Or, however, the saying goes!

By text, Branding is important because it makes a memorable impression on consumers, but it allows your customers and clients to know what to expect from your company. It is a way of distinguishing yourself from the competitors and clarifying what you offer that makes you the better choice.

Today, my good girlfriend Monica Robinson is in the boss's seat and discussing Branding and creativity. Branding can be a challenge for many of us, but Monica makes It look like a piece of cake. First comes the business, then comes the Branding. The most successful business has the best Branding. 

Remember, Branding isn't just colors, logos, and a slogan. It can be as simple as a "My pleasure" when you receive your order.

What is a Trademark? 

By google definition, a trademark is a type of intellectual property consisting of a recognizable sign, design, or expression that identifies products or services from a particular source and distinguishes them from others. The trademark owner can be an individual, business organization, or legal entity.

However, @thebizlawyer shared in this episode that It is more than that. Rosezena J. Pierce ESQ. (“The Biz Lawyer”), is the CEO and Founder of R.J Pierce Law Group P.C. in Atlanta. Rosezena and her firm assist underserved minority business owners in their trademark process. Earning over $1.6M in revenue in 2020 (despite a worldwide pandemic), she and her team of all minority women have filed over 2000 trademark applications.

I am so excited to be in this season. Let me tell ya'll how we were going in a different direction than I originally anticipated.  God sent me in the direction of making seasons (2) our "Manifest Your Mindset" season. To start is I welcome Lily Doxy to Your Bossiest Friend Podcast! We discuss how she manifested 12 years ago the new job that she has a present day. But in order to get there she had to be prepared in her mindset.  We also went into how we allow our mindsets at times to ruin our day and blame it on the situation. However, a situation can't ruin a day only your mindset can. (Listen to hear the full epiosde)

This week I sat down with long term friend and former client - Jahliel Thurman (Instagram: @JahlielThurman) as we talked about his highest moments in entrepreneurship and his lowest moments that caused him to JUMP. Jahliel is used to being the big fish in a big pond, but lately, he's experienced life as a little fish.  Nonetheless, life as a little fish doesn't sound as bad as it may seem, as long as you have a little faith and imagination. From 5 jobs to a National TV platform this is Jahliel Thurman.

Chris is a college drop-out who's success wasn't defined by a degree, just faith, and hard work. In just a year he has gone from being homeless in Miami to making Six-figures in Atlanta to being the First African American Male Subway Franchise Owner in Subway. How amazing is that? And guess what? His journey doesn't stop there!
