Everything we do, say, wear, every expression and even things we don't say and do create a brand. We cannot not communicate our brand because it is part of who we are. We might have a brand as a trustworthy person, or a good friend, or perhaps something not as positive such as someone who is always late. Our brand is communicated everyday by every action we take.

Stop creating an unconscious brand. Your brand is important because it says who you are and what you stand for. It communicates a great deal of information about you and can help or hurt you. Instead of being oblivious to brand you are creating, begin taking charge of your brand. Your brand lets others know what you stand for, what they can expect from you and what kind of person you are. Make sure it communicates accurately.

Then it delivers. Things begin to line up to make your dreams a reality. Heaven on Earth, Mama.

Do something nice for your favorite woman friend today. Ask her what she dreams of doing. As an added bonus, she'll likely feel so good about stating her dreams to you, that she'll ask you same. Feel-goods all around.

You might be wondering what she told me. Well, as a good friend, I cannot divulge, but I can tell you, I learned a lot about her then, and I hope she learned about me. Sharing our intimate thoughts and dreams catapults a relationship from 'getting to know each other' to 'cherished'. And that's what life is all about, after all. Being intimate with one another, relating beautifully, learning and growing. If you can attain this type of success in just one of your relationships, you'll be inspired and expect it in all your relationships. You'll stop settling for less and life becomes so much richer.
