Can't nail down your branding? I know firsthand how tedious it can be, which is why in today's episode we'll walk you through exactly how you can discover branding that feels RIGHT.

Last Tuesday I talked about intention setting and well... it worked! I set an intention to become more self aware while I was away for some leadership training and the thing that hit me hardest is exactly what I didn't know I needed. If this served you well, hit subscribe! And follow along with my daily musings over on instagram. I'm thrilled to have you in this community.

Earlier this month on social media I talked about intention setting as it relates to big company events for network marketers -- this week I'm talking about it here because I'm living out the truth right now that you can train your brain to seek out information by setting thoughtful intentions. For reference, here's the Instagram post I talk about in this episode: https://www.instagram.com/reel/Cgx8HzpDTtV/?utm_source=ig_web_copy_link
