Your Amazing Brand Story

IS THERE A SECRET TO BUSINESS GROWTH?

Yes, there is. And it may not be what you think …

Telling better stories in business is not about thinking up clever words, images or jingles that will make your products or services seem a little more schmick. That’s called advertising.

Stories are about people. Stories embed emotion into a transaction. Great stories linger and make your brand distinctive, trusted and in time, loved.

For over three decades, former Nike marketing executive, Tim Wood has studied and worked as a storyteller. In Your Amazing Brand Story, Tim steps you through the formula used by the best brands in the world, big and small, as he takes you on a journey of how to discover and share your own brand story.

“To be a better storyteller you must first fully understand the hopes and dreams of those you seek to serve – not just what they say they want but uncover what motivates them deep inside. Only then can you take them on the journey.”

In a world where people seek the truth, brands who are straight up, humble and human are being rewarded. That is the power of Your Amazing Brand Story – to give your brand the compass and voice to be your foundation for growth.

If telling stories in business fascinates, excites or even scares you, you’ve picked up the right book. It’s time to stand out by telling Your Amazing Brand Story.

Rural Business Women

Have you ever wondered whether you could start your own successful business, from the bush?

But figured you were:

Too small – to be taken seriously

Too remote – without any business connections

Too busy – that you couldn’t fit the work in around family, farm or other commitments

Or you feel you are:

Not confident enough

Not flashy enough

Not ‘clever’ enough

Not experienced enough

Not skilled enough

Many rural, regional and remote women feel the same about starting, growing and scaling their own business. And yet, many have done so very successfully.

In Rural Business Women, 16 rural businesswomen show you how they’ve achieved success in business – and how you can too!

Building a wildly successful business from the bush – or ‘the middle of nowhere’ in rural, regional or remote Australia – is indeed possible and incredibly rewarding.

You could end up setting yourself and your family up for true financial freedom and lifestyle flexibility. And your location or individual circumstances are not a barrier.

You can start and grow a business –

and this book will show you how.

ARMOUR

Have YOU lost passion for your life?

There is so much expectation in gaining success that sometimes we lose our way getting there while also losing a ‘sense of self’ and forgetting why we’re really doing anything. To cover up how we FEEL, we start to put on a brave face or armour to hide it and avoid talking to people about our EMOTIONS.

These feelings of being trapped can take a person down a path of no return and it seems easier to give up, rather than face the shame of feeling stressed, insufficient and worthless.

Angela Wang has worked in the construction industry for fifteen years. When she discovered that the rate of suicide in her industry was second highest in Australia, she followed her calling to start helping people navigate depression and anxiety with a mission to reduce these astounding statistics.

Angela has been there. She lived behind these armours to avoid real conversations and having to expose her true feelings. But life has a way of boiling over if we suppress our authentic self too long. Angela has discovered that by working through the Emotions and Feelings that are the root cause of keeping you stuck, you can start building the life of your dreams, without having the armours that weigh you down.

Angela had to hit rock bottom before she could rebuild her life. She had to tear down all of the bad construction in her life and rebuild with better foundations in place. In Armour, Angela walks through her story and the strategies that have helped her return to living with passion. These strategies can be used in your own time, on your own. This removes the shame about talking about feelings while learning how to slowly break down these armours, deal with emotions and thrive.

Abundance 101

Inherent in all of us is an unlimited capacity to create. Whether it’s in the arts, business or community, we all have a limitless ability to create wealth and happiness. The challenge is to make the conscious choice to do so, because we are always at choice. Do you choose to build a life of abundance or choose to lead a life of struggle?

ABUNDANCE has become a buzzword, one that you could be excused for thinking is only for ‘spiritual types.’ The truth is abundance is available to all of us. It simply requires learning to tap into the natural energy of thriving versus merely surviving. It’s about seeing the possibilities rather than the limitations.

Jason’s journey from feeling insignificant at work and in his relationships while living paycheque to paycheque, to having a thriving business, amazing partner and all the material possessions he desired in five years, illustrates the power of his simple to follow Abundance 101 process. Countless clients have already benefitted from Jason’s practical work and are now living fulfilled, abundant lives. Are you next?

Hidden Hospital Hazards

‘Touch-to-know’ capability has become a ubiquitous part of our lives. From searching for the nearest petrol station, or finding the best route to take for a meeting, you probably touch your smart phone before acting on your impulse.

Yet this capability hasn’t reached hospitals to assist clinicians perform critical tasks more easily.

Tracking and tracing the thousands of medical items used for patient care is humanly impossible without touch-to-know capability.

Len explores how technology can transform the hospital environment to assist clinicians and nurses perform their tasks more easily than ever before.

Yet this capability hasn’t reached hospitals to assist clinicians perform critical tasks more easily.
