Knowledge is needed to alleviate the discomfort-- to grow your business, to make the right decisions. In our information-rich world of today there is a multitude of help available.
Multi-day, multi-speaker and multi-vendor events have become the norm. More help is coming to the rescue everyday. These essential events open people up to a greater world of possibility-- as well as something else that can be debilitating-- the clouds of guess.
Yes, you heard me right, the clouds of guess.
The breeding ground for the clouds of guess is amongst the amazing speakers sharing valuable experience and powerful tools at many multi-day events and the wonderful people seeking to grow and fully participate in success. I recently discovered this excruciating phenomenon on the speaking trail with my own company.
Like experiencing the marine layer as it gradually rolls in at dusk from the ocean, during the first day of the event the clouds were nearly undetectable--masked by the crowd's excitement and enthusiasm.

At first I thought it was simply information overload, however looking closer I found the "clouds" were really DECISION overload. "How do I decide which expert to go with?", "What tool is right for me for the money?", "What approach is best for my business right now?". These business owners were trying to decide without having a solid method to make a decision so...they were reduced to guessing.

Don't think branding. Think brand power.As a small business entrepreneur, you are savvy enough to know that branding isn't just for large multinational corporations. However, when it comes to branding there is still too much attention given to colors and designs and not enough given to achieving brand power. Visibility and repetition are the keys to success and can even overcome average designs. When you are imagining what your logo should look like, don't stop there--imagine where it will go. Imagine the knowledgeable and helpful staff behind it. Now you are thinking brand power.The LogoId

We often trip ourselves up by asking the wrong questions. The question isn't, what expert, tool or approach that can assist you best. If you are listening to someone on the stage they are most likely successful infopreneurs; and certainly has something of value to share with you. The real question is "where am I in my business, service or product at this specific point and what comes first."

Please know that there is an indisputable process necessary to produce anything-- especially something of value. And the process clears away the clouds of guess and prevents them from ever returning.
However, if the order of the process is altered, or if a step is skipped, something WILL go wrong. Not only will those clouds return, the new question will be... how much and how bad will it hurt?
The major milestones of a typical production process (bringing a idea into manifestation) in the language of entertainment is:
• Development (idea, concept & script)
• Pre-production (how will it be made, delivered, budgeting, casting, etc.)
• Production (making it)

• Idea, Concept & Branding
• Productization - how will it be made or delivered, priced, where it fits in the existing product line or market, etc.
• Making it
• Marketing it

The discipline and excellence you put into each step and every little thing you do is what allows success to manifest. The very process that you use directly impacts the speed of your result. Skipping a step in the process or doing it incompletely WILL delay or eve
