This is what my new video from the big apple is about:
Taking a big bite out of ONE thing to step into the brand of woman you really are! Watch it now and review the info below the video too. I'm coming to your hometown 🙂
Next Tour Stops (Eight (8) spots available per city):
Leave with your brand personality and brand plan d-o-n-e!
• Nashville, Santa Fe, Salt Lake, Miami, Anchorage, Denver, London, Amsterdam and more to come! If you want me to come to your hometown, let me know by emailing Peggy at admin@michelleghilotti.com.
So, before I bid you adieu, as I said in the video, what will *you* be getting more into inspired action on in this next moment?
Be so good they can’t ignore you. ~ smarty pants Steve Martin said that.
That’s what I’m on a mission to teach and help you get clear on. How to BE so good and express that goodness on the outside through your branding that people (the ideal people) can’t help but notice you!
That said, I’m going on tour! First stop: New York!
Would you like to get clear on your brand personality (your true uniqueness)
and the brand plan that will guide you every step of the way? Finally?!
Boutique Branding Tour for Brand YOU.
I’m going to be traveling across the country and beyond over the next few months to support YOU and celebrate MY dirty dozen in business! I’m 12!
That’s right. You don’t have to come to me or worry about the one-on-one investment. September is my 12 year anniversary month of starting the business and so I’m going on the road.
I will do my first stop in New York, one of my favorite cities, on August 20, 2013 launching my first Boutique Branding Tour for Brand You workshop!
I will be coming in hot/haute/HOT (!) with a fire and a spring in my step.
In this workshop, you will finally get clear on:
• What your business brand personality is and how to communicate it (this is for personal brands AND traditionally-named companies).
and…
• What your specific brand plan is and how to pull it all together!
These two hugely important elements, along with other elements such as ***taking a branded look at your programs/products/services*** (they MUST be in line with your brand personality!) will support you in finally feeling and communicating your uniqueness. It changes the game, I promise. This workshop time with me will also help you understand exactly how to infuse that elusive and authentic charisma and consistency into your business communication.
In order to be effective and most successful in business, we must, must, must infuse charisma and consistency into everything we do.
In short and aloha/hello/hola/buongiornio/bonjour to my mission: to help you make happiness your business by feeling fully self-expresed (strutting your stuff on the biz catwalk) so you feel and look different than “the rest”. Honestly, it’s the most fun, successful way and…you deserve it.
It’s really SUCH an important piece of the business growth puzzle. As my client and friend Angela Jia Kim, Co-founder of www.savorthesuccess.com, has said about my branding work, “it’s the smart ones who know that a well-thought out brand is the killer secret of successful businesses.”
So, onward and forward. The dates for the tour and what’s included in each workshop stop…

Come play with me:
Wore these onto our flight. Made leaving Barcelona and Sardinia a hair better.
After almost a month away living life, running a business and writing a book (and goofing around with these two) in Barcelona and Sardinia, I’m back mustache-rich 😉
(I had a video in my heart for you but alas the mustache inspired me and the writing came and I just decided to let that guide me instead…).
This is entitled “Many of Us Think…”.
Many of us think… • That in the expression of our businesses and of our “brands”, we must BE, DO or SAY a “certain thing” that is outside of ourselves; that we must copy some other successful person. Not true. In fact, it’s OUR very being…the being guided by our values, what we believe, what we stand for and the unique brand of FUN we have inside that makes up our brand.
Authentic branding is rooted in what’s FUN for you.
• That “branding” is somehow technical, un-fun and well, an “I’ll get to it later”, process or project. The “branding” or communication of who you REALLY are is not a technical process, it’s actually super fun and is a process whose very “fun” centers around the archaeological dig of YOU. How could that not be fun?
And, digging into you and your essence or brand personality doesn’t have to be (and dare I say, don’t let it be) a process you wait to do. Do it and find out how exactly to share your voice with your tribe consistently throughout all your touchpoints. It yields such reward in regards to profit in business and, as importantly, profit in the growth of your happiness and joy in life.
Self-expression is a huge part in the happiness of your life!
• That sharing should be left for dinner parties or phone calls with bff’s. Truth here is that transparency and sharing is the bridge to connection so we must open up…we must learn to open the doors to our story and our flavor so that we make true connections. Connections that will sustain us and our businesses.
Brands, just as our best lives, are built by relationships.
Think I’d be sharing a photo of me in a mustache 12 years ago when I started the business? No. But that’s the whole point. Even though I was in the “expression” business long before I started my own and worked with big brands such as got milk?, Starbucks and Nike, I learned my own true expression much late(r) in my business. I would love love LOVE for you not to feel like you have to wait another day to express who you are unabashedly and allow that to actually HELP you grow your beloved business and get you out there even more to sing and teach what you have to say most in and to this world.
So, to end, today, I want to leave you with one question:
What makes you happy and how could you build a brand around that? Answer in the comments below and I’ll make sure to respond to each of you there. (I’ll still be mustache-less but still rocking the after-effects of my happiness…travel).
Until next time, ladies, make happiness your business by creating your authentic brand.
There’s no magic pill to a crazy, HAUTE brand. But there is a way to create something that will then translate on the outside as a true, authentic reflection of powerful YOU.
Once we work on this one piece (or few pieces) consistently as noted in the video above, we create a fabulous foundation to then do the expression and brand personality work we need to do with elements such as your brand’s photography, logo work, additional visuals, copy, videos and so much more. Branding for women like you and I is way more than skin deep.
If you agree…check-in. Today, tomorrow and all week…
Be conscious.
Ask yourself these questions to create a consistent powerful brand: What is the quality of my thoughts?
What is the quality of my words?
What is the quality of my actions?
What is the quality of my habits? They ALL determine my character.
Do you agree? How does this make you feel? Does branding now seem more difficult or easier? Leave a comment about your thoughts below. We learn from each other and I know you have something amazing to add or say…
Enjoy your business, enjoy your life. And enjoy the video! Create the brand you know yourself to be, ladies.
Ciao from Sardinia. I’ll be looking forward to reading your comments!
