Tej Talks: Being Better
The POWER of BRANDING: How It Can Transform Your Business
We often underestimate how much of our purchase decisions are based on brand.
Yes, we care about the taste, feel, quality, etc.
But often, it's the brand that is the deciding factor, whether you realise it or not.
Why else do you keep sipping your Starbucks, wearing your Rolex, and shopping for LVs?!
Jokes aside, a strong brand gets you recognized.
It helps build trust. Create customer loyalty. Establish credibility.
This video lines up with my new Ultimate Brand Builder course. It has everything you need to know to build a successful brand.
It’s how I want to share my success: teaching you everything that worked for my brand.

Tej graduated from King's’ College London with a BSc Biochemistry in 2014, he then pursued a career in Medical Education and Marketing. Soon after his second job… he was fired! A moment of relief and freedom was what he felt, not sure what his mother felt when he told her he was jobless at 23…
He then went in search of a more ethical path, a business he could set up where the reward was equal to the work put in. “If they are making pounds, why am I making pennies?” - was his thought process, not happy with slow progression and bureaucracy (& having to wear smart shoes everyday). This lead him to opening a Recruitment business (not sure where the ethics went) which doubled in profit every year, for 4 years. He hated it. Golden handcuffs they call it.
Fortunately, he used the cash he’d built up from that business, to educate himself in Property Investing. Soon, he’d stopped the business and transitioned into Property Investment full time. He then had a slow start -
Purchasing 15 properties in his first 9 months, using over £650,000 of Investor Finance, he built a £1,200,000 property portfolio and created £30,000 of profit from flips. This gave him ‘financial freedom’, but it was the most stressful period of his life. Growing quickly is very painful. He recently made £95,000 from two flips.
Let’s not forget that his Podcast grew to be the most-reviewed UK Property Podcast, peaking at 4,000 unique downloads per episode.
His Podcast (Tej Talks) now sits at 800,000 downloads in over 120 countries and has 500 reviews, rated 5/5.

It's the core of your business, the foundation of trust in a world flooded with fakes and highlight reels.Without a brand, you're just another face in the crowd, another product on the shelf.

28:24|Dubai, Dubai, Dubai — the glitzy city where you can flex for the ‘Gram with clean streets, safe neighbourhoods, and every luxury imaginable. But, under all this opulence, is there a darker side?Where's Shaz and I both agree that the city’s a mix of opportunity and excess — a business hub where entrepreneurs come to strike gold. You’ve got the skyscrapers and luxury cars that just scream ‘success.’ But it’s not all shiny; the service industry can be hit or miss, and there’s a lot of flash with little substance. Genuine connections can be challenging unless your bank account matches the scene.Still, the networking opportunities are gold if you know how to play the game. The right connections can launch your business, but only if you stay smart and don’t drown in trends and ‘pay-to-play’ deals.Curious about Dubai’s real draw and how it shapes up as a place to invest or live?
