Your biggest threat isn’t your competition. It’s being ignored.
The most dangerous thing that can happen to your brand is falling into the commodity trap. This happens when your brand becomes indistinguishable from everyone else in the space. You're not hated—you’re just not meaningfully different. And when that happens, the market starts doing the one thing that kills your momentum: comparing you by price. To put it plainly, if people can't tell the difference between you and your competitors, you don't have a brand; you have a price tag.
That’s why over the next three weeks, I’m going to walk you through a complete roadmap for building true brand differentiation. In part one, we're going to identify your biggest threats and unpack the commodity trap that's creating the sales swirl stopping you from reaching your full potential. In part two, we're going to explore the brain science behind attention and start crafting a strategy you can actually put into action. And in part three, we'll take a look at what happens when you get differentiation right. And I'm actually going to show you how to create a perfect tagline for your business!
Let me be clear: this isn't branding the way most businesses think about it. We're not here to tinker with logos or color palettes. This is something much deeper. It’s about what happens when you stop blending in and start building a brand that customers choose on purpose.
