As a business owner, having a strong brand is super important. But what exactly is a brand?

Your brand is all about how you present your business to the world. It includes your business's purpose, the values you believe in, and how you talk to your customers.

A great brand helps your customers remember you and feel connected to your business. It makes you stand out from other businesses that sell similar products or services.

To start, figure out the purpose of your business. What are you trying to achieve? This is your mission. Then, think about your long-term goal - this is your vision.

Next, decide on the most important values that guide how you run your business. For example, maybe you really care about the environment or providing excellent customer service.

Once you have your mission, vision, and values figured out, it's time to create your brand's look. This includes your logo, colors, and the overall style you use on your website and in your marketing.

Make sure everything about your brand looks and sounds the same everywhere. This helps customers easily recognize - and trust- your business.

When customers know and trust your brand, they're more likely to choose your business over others.

You can build this trust by:
🎯Sharing stories about how your products or services have helped customers
🎯Asking happy customers to write reviews about their experience
🎯Interacting with customers on social media

Wondering if you need lots of money to start with branding?

You don't need a lot of money to build a strong brand. Here are some budget-friendly tips:
🎯Use social media to spread the word about your business and connect with customers
🎯Create helpful, informative content like blog posts or videos to show off your expertise
🎯Partner with social media influencers whose values match your brand
🎯You can also use free tools like Canva to create professional-looking graphics and designs.

The most important thing is to be consistent with your brand everywhere customers see it. With a little creativity, you can build an unforgettable brand that helps your business shine! https://tinyurl.com/2mketnhd

Roasted maize, aka "corn on the cob", and "chibage chakagochwa" in Shona is my all-time favourite snack! 🌽✨

I adore its unique crunchy but juicy texture and the genius marketing tactics the sellers use.

They set up roadside roasting stalls a bit away from fast food places like KFC and Chicken Inn.

With those beautifully browned cobs on display, your eyes signal your tummy and brain that they need a bite, and suddenly you’re pulling over for some juicy roasted goodness.

No advertising budget needed – customers just can't resist! 😂

As I power through a few more work hours, I wonder what seasonal snack are you loving right now? 😋 What kind of tactics do you see being used to get you to buy more of it?

Today, I'm reflecting on a different kind of fulfilment I find as an Information Services volunteer at my church. ⛪️

From spreading the word about events; supporting charitable initiatives like our work with the amazing people at Chimukopa; and helping congregants discover more about New Life Covenant Church, to simply being present in the Lord's work, it's about making a difference beyond the bottom line.

These moments remind me of the importance of finding purpose both personally and professionally.

I hope you have something that brings meaning to both your personal and professional journey.

I ran in mud for Children’s Cancer Relief 🏃🏾‍♀️🏃🏾‍♀️

This Saturday I embraced the dirt, defied gravity, and unleashed my inner adventurer at the Husqvarna Mud Run!

I'll confess, as I awaited this promised "dirt-filled adventure," a mix of excitement and apprehension filled me. Yet, once I found myself covered in mud, grinning from ear to ear, any doubt faded away, replaced by sheer joy in the moment.

The mud run is more than just a chaotic romp through muddy obstacles for both kids and adults. It’s about spreading awareness and rallying for those battling the real challenges that come with cancer.

Big shoutout to the rockstar title sponsor, Husqvarna who’ve been supporting the cause for a whopping 12 years now!

Massive thanks to all the other sponsors and awesome folks who joined in, making this event a hit for KidzCan and the kiddos they support. You guys are amazing!

Your business thrives when you focus on steering the ship, instead of sweating the small stuff.

Identify tasks that demand your expertise and delegate the rest.

And don't hesitate to pass on tasks you enjoy but aren't your forte. When you have time, refine your skills and reclaim the tasks when you are ready.

Recently, I found myself in a Canva vs Photoshop debate with the design geniuses being unified in saying no to use Canva. 🧐

As a Canva enthusiast, I embrace its ease over Photoshop’s complexity. What I can do in minutes with Canva takes me hours in Photoshop.⏳The downside of it is not enjoying as much flexibility as you get in Photoshop.

I share more of my insights about the design giants in a friendly face-off blog. 🔖Check it out to find your perfect design platform between Photoshop's power to Canva's simplicity on https://buff.ly/4a9wsb6

Let's Get Real About Goals!

So, confession time! For nearly 4 years (or maybe longer 🤷🏽‍♀️), I've been sitting on this BIG idea: launching a podcast! 🎙️ Yep, that's right! It's time to shake things up and bring some serious energy to the airwaves! 💥

Originally, I had my sights set on YouTube. After all it's monetized and has lots of monthly traffic. I even went all out and prepped a whole recording space- I painted, I decorated and the whole shebang!

🎥 But let's be real... the camera and I? Not the best of friends. 🙅🏽‍♀️ So, after some Insta reel experimentation, I've come to terms with it – podcasting it is! 🎧

Now, I'm all in and ready to rock the podcast world!

But hey, I want to know – what's YOUR big brand goal that's been on the back burner for ages? It's time to dust it off and make it happen! 💪🏽

Hey fellow business owner!

Let me remind you, you don't have to follow every trend and do what everyone else is doing.

You don't have to stress about reels, stories, or posting multiple times a day on Instagram. Do what you can, how you can.

You don't have to go live on Facebook every day or have a massive YouTube following.

It's perfectly fine to focus on what works best for you and your business.

Don't lose sight of the bigger picture. If you lose perspective now, you risk giving up or burning out without truly savouring the journey. Embrace your uniqueness and do things your way.
