Visualize a future that’s right on the money.

Self-distinction is both a branding goal and an economic goal.

  • Your identity is your livelihood.
  • You are the money.
  • Regardless of your brand’s current net worth,
    future growth depends on what you do now.

Multiple identities squander brand equity.
Distinctiveness earns interest.

Three factors about your income potential worth considering:

  1. It’s not about what you earn. It’s about which activities pay off best. You can’t be distinctive by being comprehensive. Devent your career. Subtract nickel-and-dime efforts until only the smart money remains. Do less more often.
  2. If you run a self-named business, then sell your distinction. Your identity is intangible, but people will pay for the difference you make in their world. A credit card affords Dyson’s magical creations, or Martha Stewart’s books on how to master joyful living. What distinction do people “buy” when they buy you?
  3. Your identity’s bonus value is your thought process. Give someone a fish, and they eat for a day. Teach someone to fish, and they never go hungry. Show someone the best way to fish, and they see the whole experience in a new light. If you educate, you’re a leader. If you enlighten, you’re a movement.

Invest in your self
and let success pick up the check.
