Writing style breakdown
<start of post>
I spent £10,000 on a "fancy" brand identity back in 2021.
New fonts. Custom illustrations. A 40-page brand guidelines document that nobody ever read.
I thought it would make me feel like a 'real' CEO.
But here’s the thing...
The brand didn't make a single sale.
In fact, for the first 6 months, I was so focused on the "vibe" of the business that I forgot to actually build one.
I was playing at business.
I wasn't doing business.
One morning, I looked at my bank balance and realized I had 30 days of runway left.
The "cute" illustrations weren't going to pay my mortgage.
So, I stopped worrying about the aesthetics.
I
archived the over-designed posts
started talking directly to my dream clients
shared the raw, ugly truth of my journey
asked for the sale, every single day
Within 3 weeks, I signed my biggest retainer to date.
And they didn't ask to see my brand guidelines once.
They bought because they trusted ME.
If you're a founder, remember
Your reputation is your brand.
Your results are your marketing.
Everything else is just expensive wallpaper.
Stop hiding behind your logo.
Start showing up as the solution.
