Finding Your Brand Identity: How To Build An Audience That Loves You

For the full training email Lindsay at lindsay@bizinaboxsolutions.com and put Brand Training in the subject line.

Are you showing up vanilla in the marketplace?

Here's the problem: When you blend in with everyone else, you become shoppable by price. That's when you see the race to the bottom - courses for $17, everything on sale, competing on cost instead of connection.

But what if you built an audience that wouldn't buy from someone else just because it's cheaper?

What if they bought from you because they LOVE you?

That's what happens when you stop hiding your quirks and start embracing what makes you different.

In this episode, I'm sharing:

  • Why "vanilla" brands struggle (and how to fix it)
  • The quirks that make YOU unforgettable
  • How I discovered my brand pillars: Faith, Freedom, and Simple Living
  • Why I'd rather have a log cabin than a beach house (and why that matters)
  • The power of polarizing your audience (you'll repel some people - GOOD!)
  • How to stop people-pleasing and start attracting YOUR people

Here's what I realized:

I've been muting parts of myself. Keeping my love of homesteading, simple living, and faith a little too quiet because I didn't want to offend anyone.

But vanilla doesn't build loyalty. Quirks do.

After reading "Artpreneur" by Miriam Schulman, I had a breakthrough:

The word "weird" originally meant fate or destiny. Your quirks? They're not accidents. They're your destiny showing through.

So I asked myself: What if I fully leaned into MY fate? Log cabin living. Homesteading. Raising my own food. Building a business that funds THAT life - not beach vacations or fancy cars.

That's when everything clicked.

People don't just want strategy. They want to follow someone they VIBE with.

Your quirks are your competitive advantage.

Listen to this episode if you're ready to:

  • Stop blending in
  • Embrace what makes you different
  • Build a brand people actually LOVE (not just tolerate)
  • Attract an audience that buys from YOU, not your competitor

I created a free training where I show you the exact AI process I used to build my 21-page Brand Bible. (It made me cry reading it - it was THAT accurate.)

Stop being vanilla. Start being YOU.
