We all know that being a business owner means constantly being forced to face your fears, try new things, and fail… then try again and again and again. These challenges force us to grow—even if we’re not paying attention. Now imagine how impactful, effective, and powerful you could be in your business if you intentionally welcomed those challenges and that failure because you wanted the growth that came with it? How powerful would it be to notice each day how you’re feeling and use that information to inform how you show up the next day and the day after that? Well, my friends, that might be exactly what you need to show your business who’s boss.

Branding Expert Pia Silva Reveals The Big Mistakes Of Branding Your Biz My guest today, on the Steve Jobs inspired Join Up Dots free podcast interview is an Entrepreneur, speaker and writer, and also a partner and brand strategist at Worstofall Design where they build "Badass Brands without the BS" for 1-3 person service businesses in 1-3 day intensives. She is a Forbes contributor and has spoken at a host of entrepreneurial organizations including Goldman Sach's 10,000 Small Businesses and the Million Dollar Women's Summit and has been featured on MSNBC's Your Business. Her company was named top "10 Design Firms Lead By Young People That Are Changing the Way We Look at the World" by Complex, and her book Badass Your Brand: Impatient Entrepreneur's Guide to Turning Expertise into Profit launched March 16th, 2017. As she says "Badass Brands w/out the BS. We work with service based business owners in intensive Brandup sessions and execute the strategy and build out your entire brand-- positioning, messaging, logo, copy, website, materials-- in 1-3 days so you can get back to work. Because who has 6 months to redo their website anyway? For solopreneurs who need the whole shabang but don't have $50k to invest yet, we built a Brandup Bootcamp to take you through our exact process at a fraction of the cost. Now that is the official stuff about todays guest, but the real story isn't about where she is now rocking and rolling and loving life. The real story was the climb into stress, financial difficulties and the realisation that scale, and premium products were the key to her future. Being able to charge premium prices to less people has been the gamechanger to her and her partners day to day running of their company whilst making her business as lean as possible. Now she is gaining more and more exposure, loving life, and as you will read in her book (as we will discuss in today's show) she is shining the way for others to learn from her mistakes and live a life on their own terms by following her practical sensible advice. So does she see others making the same mistakes as she did, and smack her head with a "Doh!" and think "Man its so obvious that just cant see it?" And where does she find the motivation to keep growing, when things are already pretty good as they are? Well lets find out as we bring onto the show to start joining up dots with the one and only Pia Silva. Show Highlights During the show we discussed such weighty topics with Pia Silva such as: How she has built an amazing business that is lead by her lifestyle. If she wants to close up shop she does, with no clients wanting access to her. That is very unique and powerful. Why she believes that most businesses would be in a better position by turning people away as clients instead of jumping into bed with them. Pia explains why most people make a mess of their branding by confusing the message that they are sending out to the world. and lastly…. Pia shares the dark times in her life when she was heavily in debt and now looks as it just a phase that she had to go through to get where she is today.

Branding is something that confuses people. When they hear the world they think pretty colors and pictures, catchy slogans and jingles, or large marketing departments and resources a solopreneur couldn't afford. When it comes down to it, branding really is one of the most important things you can do for your business - and you don't need a big budget for it. The branding of yesteryear, with catchy slogans that sound like something from a nursery rhyme, repel customers more than it attracts them. Today, branding is about starting with YOU. Starting with what YOU provide for the customer. Once you have a grasp on that, you want to use lingo that your ideal customer would understand and be attracted to. Your branding will repel some people, and that's great. You want to push away people who aren't your ideal customer and magnetize those that are a perfect fit for your business. Branding in business, especially small business, is no longer about having a one size fits all, catch as many fish as you can brand. You want to find the clients that are willing to spend more for your expertise, harness in that small group, and not waste your time with people that aren't the right fit. On this episode of Creative Warriors I bring you a very special guest that is a bad-ass branding guru, Pia Silva. Pia Silva is a partner and brand strategist at Worstofall Design where they build “Badass Brands without the BS” for 1-3 person service businesses in 1-3 day intensives.

And Pia’s branding firm has an interesting name — Worstofall Design. They’re so named because they help their clients — mostly small service businesses — create badassery. There’s another secret story behind the name that you’ll have to listen to discover.

What’s one thing Pia would advise impatient brand builders to do? “Identify your best, favorite customer and start saying no to everyone else.” Again, you can’t standout by being everything to everyone.

      In today's episode of The Bulletproof Entrepreneur, we chat with Pia Silva of Worstofall Design. Pia shares the story of how she and her partner went from $40,000 in debt to building a 6-figure business in under six months. Pia notes that when she and her partner started the business, they did everything “the right way.” They charged similarly to their competitors, approached business development and lead generation just like their peers and even hired personnel to achieve the look and feel of a “Big” firm. Sadly, these tactics hurt their business. They were still losing money and lacked specificity in their actions because they catered to any client willing to sign a check. As a result, they were not nearly as successful they would have liked. It wasn't until she and her partner sat down to thoroughly analyze their business and make tough decisions before they started to make progress and get traction. After narrowing their focus and only specializing in working with a particular type of customer and offering a limited range of services, Pia and her partner were able to turn around their business from the brink of bankruptcy to profitability within six months. They not only became profitable but were able to create the more free time and generate more money while working less.   Pia notes that though the journey has had many ups and downs there's nothing she enjoys more that working on her business and helping her clients succeed. She shared her personal and professional struggles, dealing with the impostor syndrome and advice for young entrepreneurs coming to grips with the challenges of building a new business. In her new book “Badass Your Brand - The Impatient Entrepreneur's Guide to Turning Expertise into Profit” she narrates the story of how she and her partner Steve were able to hit upon a winning formula for creating lasting business success and how they were able to apply these lessons to the benefit of their clients.
