Your people – they're the cornerstone of your brand, the ones who resonate with your message and fuel your success. But here's the thing: not everyone is your ideal audience. Choosing your tribe wisely is paramount to carving out your unique space in the world.
Your personal brand isn't built by showcasing all your knowledge and accomplishments; it's forged through inspiring, teaching, and serving a specific audience. That's why understanding who you're for is a game-changer.
Let's dive into each group within your audience ecosystem:
1. Ideal Client:
Your ideal client is the heartbeat of your business. To pinpoint them, start by identifying a problem you excel at solving uniquely. Then, consider who seeks this solution and how they prefer it delivered. It's like a matching game – finding the perfect fit between what they want and what you offer.
I use a three-step process:
- Seek them at the intersection of their needs, your strengths, and market opportunity.
- Ensure they have the motive and means to invest in your services.
- Ensure you genuinely enjoy working with them – shared values and personalities matter.
For those in organisations, your client is your employer. Apply the same principles, focusing on shared values and enjoyable collaboration.
2. Your Peers:
Your peers are your allies, whether they're business partners, contractors, or colleagues. They share your goals and contribute to your journey. Building a supportive network of collaborators is key to success, fostering trust and deep relationships.
3. Your Community:
Your community extends beyond your primary clientele. They're the ones you inspire, the ones you want to impact with your message. While they may not be clients today, they're potential seeds for the future. Nurture them with your expertise and talents, building a loyal fan base who knows, likes, and trusts you.
