Laura Ries, Branding Expert, this week on Glambition Radio with Ali Brown

What is a brand? A great logo? The look-and-feel of your website?

Those things are important, but wait until you hear what branding expert Laura Ries has to say about it.

She is the co-founder of the consulting firm Ries & Ries with her father, Al Ries. I first discovered her dad’s classic book, The 22 Immutable Laws of Marketing, about 15 years ago, and it really shifted how I looked at marketing and branding.

Laura and her dad have consulted with many Fortune 500 companies across the world, including Microsoft, Ford, Disney, and Frito-Lay.

Deborah Brenner, Founder of Women of the Vine, this week on Glambition Radio with Ali Brown

Even if you don’t know a Chardonnay from a Cabernet, you’re going to love this delicious episode of Glambition Radio with Deborah Brenner, founder and CEO of Women of the Vine.

In a traditionally male-dominated industry, Deborah created the first of its kind wine company that unites award-winning women winemakers under one brand. And she left a cushy six-figure corporate job to do it.

On the show she shares how a painful divorce was actually the catalyst for her to say “screw this—what do I really want to do?” And a trip to Napa, California was her next soul-searching step.

Kim Kiyosaki, Wealth-building Expert, this week on Glambition Radio with Ali Brown

Her brand is Rich Woman, so how could I not have the incredible Kim Kiyosaki on Glambition Radio?

Kim says she knew early on in life that she wanted to be her own boss. Sitting in a cube working 9-to-5 was not her thing, and despite everyone’s advice to stay in that secure job (health insurance! free coffee and pens!), she took a risk, left corporate America, followed her entrepreneurial bliss, and became a very rich woman indeed… in more ways than one.

You’re likely familiar with her husband and business partner Robert Kiyosaki, who authored the groundbreaking Rich Dad, Poor Dad in 1997.

“Create Environments That Support Your Success” by Ali Brown

February 28, 2014

Many people ask me, “Ali, how do you get so much done? Especially growing your business while raising twin babies? And you seem to take good care of yourself too. You must have amazing self-discipline…”

Well, yes and no.

I’ve heard self-discipline defined as “the ability to make yourself do what you should do, when you should do it, whether you feel like it or not.” Hmmm. Doesn’t sound like much fun, does it? Well, sometimes it’s not.

And honestly… there are many things I don’t feel like doing at all.

But many of these things are ones that keep my business moving forward and thriving.

Liz Lange, Fashion Designer, this week on Glambition Radio with Ali Brown

How do you go from NO business knowledge, no marketing experience, and an admitted knack for having proactive “poor judgment” to creating what became the #1 line in a fashion category within a few short years?

It was all part of Liz Lange’s plan. Well, her “non plan”. The “I never had a business plan” plan. And her story is LIVE on this week’s Glambition Radio.

And I have to tell you I LOVED hearing her talk about her lack of having everything thought out ahead of time… because this is what separates the Glambition Girls from the rest.

“Perfection Kills Ideas, and Money Likes Speed… So Rev It Up!” by Ali Brown

February 14, 2014

One of my original marketing mentors was Dan Kennedy—the grumpy old guy on the bull. That’s not only who I learned powerful direct marketing principles from, but more importantly, I learned the saying, “Good is good enough.”

When I first heard that, I was taken aback. You mean I’m not supposed to keep trying and working on things over and over and getting it as perfect as possible before I send it out or launch it? I’m not even required to have the “entire plan” mapped out and ready before I take a step?

So many of us are perfectionists, taking forever to write an article, design a business card, or launch a new product.
