I was reading Essence magazine today and saw a quote that really touched me about women growing to be their best. The quote goes:

“Who are we to deny our gifts, to doubt our ability to do whatever it is we are called upon to do. Who are we not to express every ounce of our God given talent”

To me that says that we really owe it to ourselves to see how magnificent we can be if we use the talents and gifts we are given. And also from a point of contibution, being your best allows you to make a real difference.

How are you making a difference? What are your gifts? Are you proud of who God made you to be?

I just finished watching a session for Make Mine a Million Dollar Business. Wow! It was so inspiring to hear stories of women just like us. Count me in is a non for profit organization that provides insight and resources for women with big dreams.

On the panel we got to hear from incredible women whose businesses were growing, but didn’t know how to take it to the next level.

By being a part of the Make Mine a Million program, these women were able to overcome their challenges, create the infrastructure, and secure the funding to create million dollar success stories.

The 2 biggest factors that hold women back are:
1) Trying to do it all yourself
2) Not borrowing any money

The 5 keys to growing your business are:
- Vision
- Growth
- Continuous Improvement
- People
- Business Development

Are you ready to make yours a million dollar business? The question I find myself asking is what success is really about for me. Is success about the size of your paycheck, is it about being your personal best, is it about the contribution you make, or is is about having a career that supports the life you truly desire.

I think that’s the biggest question we need to ask ourselves.

More from the Office Depot event after this.

We are at session 2 now at the Office Depot Success Strategies event in Chicago. Now we are talking about Branding Yourself for Unstoppable Success.

Here are highlights of hot branding tips from the panel:

1) Your brand is more than just a logo, it’s every touch point you have with the customer including logo, color, brochure, website, customer service, etc.

2) Make sure your message is consistent across all your materials

3) A good place to do research and get inside the heads of your customers is to visit blogs written by your target audience

4) Stick to the “bones” of your brand even if you are rebranding so that the customer can still recognize it as you

5) Add that unexpected touch that surprises customer expectations.

6) Dare to be different. Look at the messages and branding that your competitors are using and see how you can be different.

You have to be willing to throw a pie in people’s faces and be a bit noisy at first

Be a little different - for example Starbucks rather than selling a cup of coffee, they sell a coffee drinking experience

7) Positioning: Reframe the conversation.
If everyone is talking about the experience of how your hair feels after the shower, talk about the experience of using the shampoo in the shower

Example of Herbal Essence

Be polarizing - even edgy. It’s better to have passionate followers than

Make it repeatable. What is the one thing you really need to say. Keep it simple. Tell the “Sesame Street Version”

9) Consistency across organization. Make sure everyone can articulate your brand name back
get the whole team on board being ambassadors of the brand

10) Be the brand wherever you go. Keep business cards in every purse you have.

Here are some of the Biggest Lessons Learned from the Panel in Business:

A) Nice girls do win! The relationships you establish with people are key. Your success is directly related to the strength of your relationships. There is power in NICE.

b) Really know your clients

c) Have a well executed plan and strategy

d) Networking. Know people. Give referrals, do favors. Connect with as many of people as possible.

I just got done watching Cynthia Kersey. Truly an inspiring inspirational woman. She shared with us the rules that anyone can follow to be unstoppable.

1) The ability to become unstoppable begins with YOU - What do you want? Get crystal clear.

2) Why must you achieve this goal - A strong reason why keeps you going even when the chips are down

3) Unstoppable people are empowered by belief. Beliefs drive behavior. Find out your current beliefs and then modify them. Stop the voice of fear and replace it with the voice of faith.

4) Find a small acion you can take every day to bring you one step closer to your dream.

There you have it! - We’ll feature a podcast interview with Cynthia Kersey later this week.

Next is Shape, Create, and Position your Unique Brand Power with Robin Koval, Eva Spenny, and Kathleen Leischen - stay tuned.
