Personal Branding and Building a Legacy
“The greatest legacy one can pass on to one’s children and grandchildren is not money or other material things accumulated in one’s life, but rather a legacy of character and faith” ~Billy Graham
I think deep down inside, we all want to get to the end of our lives, look back, and feel at peace about what we are leaving behind for our loved ones. In the Freedom-Preneur Academy, we will spend a good deal of time helping you build an online brand that will leave a lasting legacy.
Take Mark Zuckerburg for example. Would you say that he is a man that has built a brand that is going to have lasting impact? Of course! Life hasn’t been the same since the creation of Facebook.
Here’s the thing- you don’t have to be Mark Zuckerburg to create brand messaging that will leave a lasting impression.
Personal Branding Message
Would you rather buy from a corporation or a personal brand? There was a poll done that found that 78% of the consumers asked said they would rather buy from a personal brand, which is why your personal branding message is so important. That lets us know that people are looking to buy things that have a bigger purpose.
We are in a time where people are really thinking about what they are buying. Now, more than ever, it is so important that you develop a personal branding message that utilizes your story to sell the things that matter to you.
Only Sell What You Are Passionate About
I’ve seen a lot of online marketers selling anything and everything, just so they can make a buck. It reminds me of the Bible verse, Mark 8:36 that says, “What good is it for someone to gain the whole world, yet lose their soul?”.
There are a lot of people out there that are selling their souls just to gain worldly possessions. I’m not saying there is anything wrong with making money, but the way in which you do it matters tremendously.
Since we are seeing the changes in this market, consumers are having less and less patience with being sold to. If you are someone that will sell anything and everything, your audience will see right through it.
Do I believe in what I’m doing?
Would I be proud to show others what I’m doing for a living?
If you answered yes, then you are on the right track. If your answer is no, I can help you get on your way to building a brand that leaves a lasting legacy.
Understand Your Customers and Develop a Core Message
“People are buying the hole, not the drill”- Perry Marshall
The truth is, people don’t really care about your business. What they care about is having a solution to their problem.
Think about it like this- say you own a ferry boat. Marketers tend to want to talk about all of the amazing features of their boat. They point out how powerful the engine is, give a rundown of the amenities, talk about the reliability of the company and so on. Here’s the thing- no one cares!
What do people care about? They care about the destination. Instead of painting a picture of a great ferry boat, tell your audience about the beautiful island and all of the things that they can do there. After they are sold on the destination, it won’t even be a question of them using your ferry services.
In marketing, it is essential that you understand your target audience. What are their pain points? What problems are they experiencing that keep them up at night? Once you understand that person, then developing a core message and branding is not hard to do.
Storytelling in Online Marketing is Essential
Did you know that our brains are hardwired to feel connected through storytelling? This is a powerful tool to attract the right people to your personal branding message. When you craft your life story and share it with others, you are suddenly much more relatable.
One thing to keep in mind, is that the stories you tell need to have a purpose. You always want to add value to the reader. They need to walk away from your content with something that they feel is truly beneficial to their lives.
Not everyone will connect with your personal story, and that is ok. That is the genius of attraction marketing. You aren’t trying to sell to everyone, you are selling to the one person that is desperate for the services that you provide. When it comes time for a transaction to be made, they are more than ecstatic to give you their money.

How To Create Killer Content That Keeps On Giving & Leverage Facebook Offers
“Content marketing is the only marketing left.” Seth Godin.
If you own any type of professional business nowadays you’ll know that, in terms of marketing, the world has changed dramatically. The once tried and tested activities for getting client attention just don’t work now like they once did.
Advertising don’t get enough response to justify the considerable costs.
Today, effective marketing is all about writing high quality content and sharing this across the web. By quality content we don’t just mean well-written or artfully produced information. By quality content we mean information that is first and foremost of real value to your particular client base.
Educate your clients/customers, show them the best practice, tell them what to watch out for, provide them with valuable tips on how to achieve success, demonstrate how you were able to help others in their shoes; answer their problems, open their eyes.
Creating and distributing this kind of relevant, valuable and compelling information will help you turn prospects into buyers and eventually into long-term fans.
Create the type of information that your buyers actually want to consume. Having a valuable content as a marketing strategy is a win-win for your company and its customers — your potential clients get the information they need from you and you get to demonstrate your expertise and usefulness.
Valuable content will help you sell. It helps your ideal clients locate you and makes it easier for them to buy from you. It’s an opportunity to build up your company as the “go to” place to turn to when the time comes to buy.
A Different Approach to Communication
If you want to harvest the rewards that valuable content brings, you have to start communicating differently. There are different rules of engagement here. The approach to valuable content is not about continuing to holler about how amazing your firm is as we all did in the past. Rethink what you learned about sales and marketing messages.
Your position should be not “look how great we are” (as in a traditional brochure) but “look how useful we are – we have the answers to your problems.”
This approach is truly customer-centred. Create content that is genuinely useful to your customers. Make yourself indispensable.
It takes Effort To Be Valuable
Consistently delivering and creating this type of information takes effort. What you need to do is to build a deep understanding of the needs of your target client base and of where and how you add value. Furthermore, it also takes time and skill.
Valuable content may not be easy to produce but it is an essential tool if you are aiming to grow and sustain a successful business in today’s web-driven world.
I host a LIVE hangout every Wednesday at 9pm EST where I will cover FREEDOM-PRENEUR Topics from travl, to family, to marketing and working online.
Looking forward to answering questions you may have, and helping you become a FREEDOM-PRENEUR and building a brand and a business you love.

The World Has Changed- Winners Wanted
You may have been informed when you were younger that if you studied hard, went to an excellent school, researched even more, as well as landed a great job, that you can ultimately at some point work your way up the ladder to success.
That’s just simply not exactly how it functions anymore.
Nowadays that old path brings about a mountain of financial obligation and also job security in a go-nowhere profession. It’s remarkable to see many young people come out of college these days in debt up to their eyeballs at a degree that’s so overwhelming they trade every one of their hopes and also their dreams in for a bottle of wine and a Netflix subscription.
However, it doesn’t need to be that way.
In spite of all the chaos in the world … what seems like continuous war, corruption, and also debt … this is just one of the most| interesting times to be alive.
The world isn’t really coming to an end. It’s transforming. The economic system is resetting. Wealth and also power throughout the globe are changing.
Billions of individuals are rising into the Middle Class. Digital Technology is basically transforming the way we organize ourselves as a society as well as participate in commerce.
Today, borders, college levels, and the conventional profession path are significantly lapsing and also pointless, which is an advantage.
You can earn a living and spend time anywhere in the world today, thanks to modern communications and cheap transportation. The entire world is now open and available to you.
And there’s an extraordinary amount of opportunity out there for people who have the courage and skills to take advantage of it.
Wanted: Winners who truly want to change the world.
I’ll be honest with you. I abhor the term “lifestyle design”
There’s an entire generation of young people who have already been sold on the idea that life is just all about travel and leisure.
I see so many people now who want to start a business for the sole purpose of producing enough passive income to finance their travel lifestyle
What ever happened to the desire of changing the world? If your aspirations don’t extend beyond your surfboard, this camp is not for you.
We are looking for ass kickers, not tree sloths. We want to teach students who have the drive to create and do amazing things that really count.
Your instructors walk that walk. We want to find and invest in the next generation of doers, and equip you with rocket-propelled knowledge and contacts to jump start your next project, business, or career.
Learn the critical skills you need to create value in a world full of opportunity.
It doesn’t matter what you do… whether you have a job or start a business. Whether you are a musician or venture capitalist. Whether you come from a developed country or developing one
Your success in life will ultimately boil down to how much value you can create.
Unfortunately, life doesn’t come with an instruction book. And university educations are often devoid of practical advice to help you figure out what skills you need to solve the big problems.

Characteristics of Wealth #2- Removing the Clutter
Before I get going, I want you to think about these few questions - Rhonda Swan
- Look at the 5 people you hang around and divide by 5. That will likely be your total income.
- Think about what you put into your mind. Negative or positive thoughts?
- Who do you surround yourself with?
- Listen to the words that are coming out of your mouth. What are they?
- Take inventory of what is around you and start your wealth creation.
What Clutter is in Your Life?
Ok, I had you work through those questions because we need to start somewhere. You need to take a real inventory of the influences in your life.
Are you surrounding yourself with people that are motivated and passionate about life? Do those around you speak encouragement to you or discourage you from pursuing your dreams?
It is very important that you understand the role of others in your life. Identify the clutter that you are piling around you and then you have to find ways to get rid of it.
Clutter can be anything that is distracting you or keeping you from reaching your goals. This can be negative thoughts that you are holding onto. It can be negative people that pull you down. It might be your circumstances have you in a place where you do not feel the freedom to chase after wealth.
Remove the Clutter
This is a hard step for many people. We don’t want to admit that we are the reason that we aren’t succeeding in life. It is up to us to remove the negativity from our lives. That is hard, since it might mean you have to break relationships.
There might be some personal issues that you need to get over. You might have some deep rooted insecurities that need to be addressed and cleared out.
Whatever it is, I want you to commit to removing the clutter in your life.
Replace the Clutter With Beneficial People and Positive Thinking
Wherever you are right now, is not where you have to stay. However, if you want to pursue wealth, you need to surround yourself with the right people. You need people in your life that are successful in the way that you hope to be.
You also need to put yourself in the right circumstances. Are you in a job that is going nowhere fast? It is time to start working toward finding a way to get away from it. If you are in a toxic job, then you need a new plan.
Another major thing that you need to do is replace your negative thoughts with positive. Stop believing the lies you have fed yourself or others have fed you.

How to Create a Valuable Blog For Your Business
Why You Need a Valuable Blog For Your Business - Rhonda Swan
We are in a time where people utilize the internet to learn the information they need. Providing valuable content on your blog is a great way to serve your potential customer. It is very important that you write high quality, consistent posts that add value to your reader’s life.
Another reason you should utilize this outlet is that it allows you to build relationships with your audience.
Valuable Blog Posts Are Highly Shareable
Interesting content is one of the top 3 reasons that people follow brand on social media. When you are writing information that is of high value, people will share it with others. This widens your influence and allows you to reach even more of your target market.
Become a Proficient Writer
In the business world, it is important that you are able to communicate yourself well with your potential clients. By blogging on a regular basis, you are honing in on your communication skills. When you have committed to reaching your audience through this platform, your overall writing abilities will soar.
How to Write a Killer Blog Post
I think a lot of people shy away from writing a blog, because they aren’t sure what to write about. When you know your brand and have a core message, it can make writing blog content a whole lot easier.
Here are some of the things you need to keep in mind when writing a blog post:
Focus on Adding Value to Your Reader
There are a lot of people that think the market is saturated with content. Here’s the thing- it’s saturated with words, but much of what you read isn’t actually valuable. You need to focu on writing information that your target audience is in desperate need of.
Think about your ideal customer. What is their pain points? Pain points are problems, whether real or perceived. Figure out what your ideal customer has the biggest need of, and speak directly to that.
Not sure what your audience needs? Then consider creating a survey. This is a perfect way to figure out what their problems are and how you can speak directly to it.
Figure Out Your Writing Voice
It’s super important that you write in such a way that you make a personal connection with people. No one is going to follow cold hard facts. Instead, they will follow someone that has captured their attention- and that is done through your writing voice.
Check out these 3 voice archetypes:
- Sage- This is a person that has a lot of experience and can speak with authority on their subject.
- Sherpa- This is someone who is a few steps ahead of the reader and can offer insight into things to come.
- Struggler- This is the individual that is in the process and willing to share their struggle and recount their current experiences.
No matter where you are in your business, you can offer value to your reader. Don’t think you have to be an expert. Pick the voice archetype the best fits you and stick with it until it changes. There will come a day when you go from Struggler to Sherpa to Sage.
Create a Good Headline
Crafting the right headline is essential. You need something that will grab the reader’s attention so that they will click on your valuable content.
The other thing to keep in mind when writing a headline, is that it needs to have the keywords you are trying to target. You need to get creative with what you say, but not to the point that the reader isn’t sure what they are about to read.
Consider writing a headline with one of these models-
- Number sequence- this gives the reader the number of points they are going to read.
- Provocative question- ask a question that they just have to know the answer to. Write it in such a way that it peaks their curiosity.
- How to- people will often type in “how to” do a specific task into a search engine. When you write this type of article, you are going to capture their attention. Continue Reading

3 Income Producing Activities You Must Do Each Da
Do you know your DMO? - Rhonda Swan
A DMO is your daily method of operations. When you put into practice daily tasks that will actually produce income, you will get a return on your time investment.
Most people, myself included when I first got started building our business, we focused too much on the how and not the important money making tasks. If you’re building a Network Marketing business, so many get hung up on the product features and the science behind it all, and the compensation plan. How to do social media, building a blog, watching guru videos, studying this and studying that…
The next thing you know, a month has gone by and all of the so called “income producing activities” you were working on, didn’t bring in a dime.
Stop wasting time. Start Making Money.
A lot of us, when we just start out in our home business, have a limited amount of time because we have so many other commitments to attend to. Like a J.O.B., our families, hobbies etc.
Well, if you’re spending all your time doing Non-Income Producing Activities such as the ones listed above, you are setting yourself up for nothing but frustration and disappointment.
I’ve seen many people walk away from online marketing, because they have put in a lot of time without any return. That is why I’m so passionate about giving my tribe step by step instructions of what they can do each day to generate leads and ultimately produce income.
TOP 3 Income Producing Activities You MUST Do Each Day.
In order to break away from the time wasting activities and actually start making money as an online marketer, there are 4 income producing activities that you MUST do every day. It is so important that you focus your energy on the things that will bring in the greatest return.
1. Place Ads To Generate Leads Or Sales
In order to reach your target market with your valuable services, you need to place ads. We run thousands of dollars through our Facebook ads every month to generate our best leads. Through the use of Facebook ads, you can generate warm leads every single day.
Not sure how to place effective ads? We get that question all of the time, which is why we have created videos in the Freedom-preneur Academy that will teach you exactly how to do this.
Here are a few tips to get you started on developing your own lead magnets.
2. Host Webinars, Hangouts, or Use Facebook Live
Everyday, look for ways to give your followers value. One of the best ways to do that is by hosting webinars, hangouts, or use Facebook Live. People want to connect with you on a more personal level while learning from you. Using live stream videos where people can ask you real time questions and you answer is so helpful.
At the end of your webinars, hangouts, and videos, you need to present a call to action. Where can they learn more from you? Lead them to an outlet that you can earn from, such as a lead capture page.
Every Wednesday night, we host the Freedom-Preneur Show in order to add more value to our followers. Each week, we bring on experts that are highly knowledgeable and that can deliver great information to those listening in.
3. FOLLOW UP Via Phone, Email or Messenger
Did you know that 90% of your sales occur, because you followed up with someone. Take the time to follow up through any means that you can.
As you can see, it is of the highest importance that you make following up with leads a top priority. If you have spent the time and money to create ads, don’t short change yourself by not going back to those that took interest in what you had to say. Otherwise, you are just wasting your time again.
Many of your follow up processes can be automated through programs that you set up. I’m all for automated systems for certain parts of my follow-up. That way, I don’t miss out on leads while I’m out living life.
That’s it!!
If you are missing these elements then all your are doing is BUSY work..and that does not make you money. Read More

Media And The City Event in New York
Brand It- A New Show Produced By Bonnie Bruderer
Bonnie and I met in Dubai during the Speak in Dubai event. We connected on such a deep level right away. We are like sisters from another mister.
Bonnie hosts the Askbonbon show. I asked her if she would be willing to come on to the Freedom-preneur show. It was awesome to have her on the show.
From these times together, Bonnie and I decided to create the Media in the City Event.
I knew right away that she would provide huge amounts of value to my followers and I started brainstorming with her how we could collaborate.
She came up with this idea of putting together a show called Brand It, based off of the show they have done called Make It. The attendees of the Media and the City Event will be filmed and showcased on this new show.
Here’s a sample of the show, Make It that Bonnie produces.
What The Attendees Will Accomplish at Media in The City
When everyone gets there on August 13, we are hosting a martini meet and greet. We’ll follow that up with a Sex in the City tour so everyone can get excited about being in New York. This tour is one of the most phenomenal brands that speak to women. It is a great example to us as a
On the next two days, we are going to hit the ground running. We will be in the boardroom working on our brands. This time will allow the attendees to get crystal clear on their brand messaging.
Everything that we do is leading up to the day of filming. Bonnie and I will host this show and interview 6 of the attendees at a time. This is their time to shine. They will share their message with the world and what they hope others will learn about their brand.
Since Bonnie is so well connected, she is going to bring in people that are not generally available in this industry. This will give those that come to the event more exposure than most people could hope for.
Each Woman Receives a Segment in the Show
In addition to the group interview, we will give each woman a one-on-one interview. Basically, the spotlight is shined on each person in attendance. This is a time where they will share their journey and hopes for their business.
The show will start airing across Bonnie’s networks in September.
Star For a Day Experience
We want you to have an amazing time while you are in New York. That is why we are going to give you a star for a day experience. Here’s an idea of what it’s like to be a star in the big city.
Do You Want to Have the Spotlight on You?
If you want to attend this event, we would love to have you. Space is very limited and the seats are filling up! Why wouldn’t it? We are giving you the chance of a lifetime. This could be a pivotal moment for you and take you to the next level right away.
