4。35。 It was very hard to stay focused the entire book because so many great points were brought up， so I often found my mind drifting into the topic。 One paragraph would spark an idea which had me in deep thought for the next 10 minute so I wasn't able to continue reading， which is a reflection of a great book。 4。35。 It was very hard to stay focused the entire book because so many great points were brought up， so I often found my mind drifting into the topic。 One paragraph would spark an idea which had me in deep thought for the next 10 minute so I wasn't able to continue reading， which is a reflection of a great book。 。。。more

Might be a good read for entrepreneurs or non marketing background individuals。 More or less a more layman exp。 of any course level / university brand book。 Nothing special for a person with in-depth / already existing knowledge or experience。

It was dry and a commitment to get through， yet I did not abandon it because every now and then， there were real gems。 This is a book more ideal for small business/solopreneurs selling B2C and where the brand of the business is enmeshed with the owner's personality & strengths。 Anyhow， probably about a dozen real gems in the book。 Worth it！ It was dry and a commitment to get through， yet I did not abandon it because every now and then， there were real gems。 This is a book more ideal for small business/solopreneurs selling B2C and where the brand of the business is enmeshed with the owner's personality & strengths。 Anyhow， probably about a dozen real gems in the book。 Worth it！ 。。。more

Brand Identity Breakthrough is the debut book by author Gregory Diehl。 I was fortunate enough to be sent a review copy for an unbiased opinion。The book is aimed at solopreneuers -- businesses that are built around the identity of an individual。 Typically this is an expert in their field， somebody who provides a service and needs to stand out from others offering a similar service。Each chapter covers an aspect of brand identity， from early chapters that cover life lessons， warm words about the au Brand Identity Breakthrough is the debut book by author Gregory Diehl。 I was fortunate enough to be sent a review copy for an unbiased opinion。The book is aimed at solopreneuers -- businesses that are built around the identity of an individual。 Typically this is an expert in their field， somebody who provides a service and needs to stand out from others offering a similar service。Each chapter covers an aspect of brand identity， from early chapters that cover life lessons， warm words about the author's mentor， Jack Pugsley， why identity matters in business， why most of us aren't good at seeing and feeling things through another person perspective， and empathy for others。Those early topics all build to help the reader understand how to stand out from the pack。 It's invaluable learning as the book progresses on to creating your brand identity， uncovering your core values and developing a unique selling point （USP）。What do you do that is uniquely valuable compared to other providers in the same genre as yourself？The book also covers the ideas behind content marketing， establishing yourself as a public speaker and crafting your personality。The book closes with some valuable chapters featuring case studies on soloprenuers that the author has worked with， and the success they've had by changing their approach to business。The additional content at the end of the book is especially valuable， with an appendix covering entrepreneurial terms that you would assume everyone knows， but many people are too scared to admit asking about！As a solopreneur （or Youpreneur） myself， I found the book an interesting reminder of why I work for myself， and some of the basic tenets that it's easy to forget。 You work for yourself for a reason， don't forget what that reason is！Some of the content didn't hit the mark for me -- there were some examples given of "unique" businesses including a masseur with huge breasts。 While a funny anecdote， it felt out of place in a book of learning。I'd also argue whether this book could have been broken into two books - a beginners guide to solopreneurship， and an advanced guide。 It sometimes felt as though the author was trying to share too much information。Overall， however， I'd recommend this book to anyone who is building the business of them。 It covers every aspect of building a business based on your unique expertise and could be a revelation to anybody who knows they are great at what they do but doesn't know how to stand out in a crowded business market。 。。。more

This book was provided to me by the author。 I was given a choice of titles， and settled on this one because my sister and I created a website so my son， who is on the autism spectrum， can sell his art。 Malcolm's Tiles was founded so he could travel to Europe to go to an amusement park he saw on YouTube。 He was able to fund a trip that included his sister and me in less than two years。 I wondered if this book might help me to expand his reach。So you see， I learned something already--don't be afra This book was provided to me by the author。 I was given a choice of titles， and settled on this one because my sister and I created a website so my son， who is on the autism spectrum， can sell his art。 Malcolm's Tiles was founded so he could travel to Europe to go to an amusement park he saw on YouTube。 He was able to fund a trip that included his sister and me in less than two years。 I wondered if this book might help me to expand his reach。So you see， I learned something already--don't be afraid to associate your business with a story。 I could have gone on， but hey， this is a review， not a sales pitch。 Then again， promoting Malcolm's Tiles in the midst of a written communication that is also aimed at something else conforms to the purpose of the book （I'm restraining myself from including the website， for fear of Amazon's rules， which I don't have time to check right now）。There is a lot of excellent information in this very well-written book， though， as I mentioned above， it's the equivalent of the free podcasts that give something away， but are mainly about selling something at the end。 Which doesn't mean you will feel cheated at the end。 Well， maybe a bit， at the end， since the vague case studies mainly show the variety of businesses that Diehl has assisted， without giving enough specifics about how he did it。 Actually， "enough" depends on who you are。 For the author， the details are enough to drive you to his website or theirs， perhaps。For the record， he doesn't end with the case studies， which leads me back to my first sentence: this is a very well-written book。All of this just proves that he practices what he preaches， so I'm not player hating。 I did find it a bit irrelevant that the forward was written by a Christian， as if conferring a veneer of deeper， higher moral purpose。 I will grant， however， that Diehl never tells the reader to do anything unethical， and makes an extended argument for honesty near the end of the book。 The Christian angle still struck me as a tad calculating， because most of Brand Identity Breakthrough has nothing much to do with Jesus--it's about defining success in terms of money， then making as much money as you can。 Which is part and parcel of being a successful entrepreneur， of course， so。。。I'm not player hating。 An authentically Christian book would have then told you how to give it away， though， as Jesus advised the rich young ruler。 "The love of money is the root of all evil，" after all。 Okay， I'm piling on here。 I assume you get my point， though。One small additional quibble。 There is a case study where someone turns his charitable tendencies into a business （Diehl seems to take a dim view of the very idea of nonprofits）。 For future editions， I hope the author edits the word "natives" out of this story。 Because even if you mean to help the "natives，" there's a whiff of condescension/colonial mentality in the word， which is generally not used when one hangs out with people from the USA， for example。 I'm certain that entrepreneur means well， and I hope he has great respect for the people of whichever countries he visits。Bottom line: Gregory Diehl tells his story well， as he advises the reader to do if he/she wants to generate more business， presenting himself as someone who could move your company to the next level。 But even if you don't enlist his services， you can learn a lot from his book。 。。。more

As noted in the synopsis， Brand Identity Breakthrough holds the title of Amazon #1 Bestseller in Public Relations and Sales & Selling for Small Business and has great reasons for it！This book is an excellent resource for entrepreneurs who may find themselves needing to be refueled in their mission statements and value。 Gregory does a wonderful job at pushing the need for an emphasis on the value of our businesses， not only as we see it， but also at how our customers see it。 More than just a text As noted in the synopsis， Brand Identity Breakthrough holds the title of Amazon #1 Bestseller in Public Relations and Sales & Selling for Small Business and has great reasons for it！This book is an excellent resource for entrepreneurs who may find themselves needing to be refueled in their mission statements and value。 Gregory does a wonderful job at pushing the need for an emphasis on the value of our businesses， not only as we see it， but also at how our customers see it。 More than just a text-book of "do this" and "don't do that"， Gregory makes a point to make Brand Identity Breakthrough easy to read， entertaining in some parts， and relatable through illustrations。 He describes his points well by involving his own life experiences into the book and provides thought provoking questions that will help the reader involve their own lives into the book as well。It is a clean book， no use of distasteful language， though some of his illustrations are a bit sexual， however nothing explicit， and they all make his points very clear。Overall， I was pleased to read Brand Identity Breakthrough and give it 5 out of 5 stars。 It comes highly recommended to entrepreneurs。This review was originally published on LiteratureApproved。com 。。。more

I've always cringed at the idea of "selling yourself" since my days of applying for scholarships and acceptance to college。 Admittedly， I've since learned that you have no choice but to do some of this if you want to pursue any goal out in the real world。 If that's the case， you may as well try and enjoy it and make it your own。 Gregory's book is full of heart and practical advice on how to sell yourself in business or any other opportunity you have to create a brand--by being who you already ar I've always cringed at the idea of "selling yourself" since my days of applying for scholarships and acceptance to college。 Admittedly， I've since learned that you have no choice but to do some of this if you want to pursue any goal out in the real world。 If that's the case， you may as well try and enjoy it and make it your own。 Gregory's book is full of heart and practical advice on how to sell yourself in business or any other opportunity you have to create a brand--by being who you already are。 If you're a mismatch with the very brand you create， Gregory describes， you're unlikely to connect with potential customers， clients， prospects， and business partners as well。 Through a number of reflective questions， the author asks you to explore the strengths and shortcomings of your brand or vision in an open and honest way。 He doesn't handhold you through cookie cutter techniques for creating a brand。 I recommend this book before， during， and after the creative process for branding。 A minor point of critique is that pitching for the author's online program and course was somewhat excessive in the book， but otherwise I thought it was a great read and very helpful。 。。。more

Not far into the book， the author mentions talking to a woman who had failed at 'Shark Tank'。 This lady， he says， had no idea about basic concepts like her market size and safety aspects of her beauty product that she was pitching to potential investors。 As appalling as it may be that someone would try to sell an idea without knowing ANY basics， it is exactly that kind of readers and budding 'entrepreneurs' that this book is meant for。 Read it only if you are starting at Level 0 （or -1） of busin Not far into the book， the author mentions talking to a woman who had failed at 'Shark Tank'。 This lady， he says， had no idea about basic concepts like her market size and safety aspects of her beauty product that she was pitching to potential investors。 As appalling as it may be that someone would try to sell an idea without knowing ANY basics， it is exactly that kind of readers and budding 'entrepreneurs' that this book is meant for。 Read it only if you are starting at Level 0 （or -1） of business。For the first 40 pages， the author blabbers on and on about something that could have been explained in NOT MORE THAN A PARAGRAPH。 For so long， I waited for him to start speaking something meaningful， but gave up eventually。 I applied for a refund at Amazon where I had bought this book。At one point， the author emphasizes a lot about not over-estimating one's product while making a sales pitch。 If only he had himself applied that while selling his book as a Breakthrough！ 。。。more
