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.

“Creating Real Change Requires Taking Real Action” by Ali Brown

March 27, 2014

It makes complete sense that entrepreneurship is so attractive to women right now. The traditional work model has never been a good fit for women, especially for those raising families, so for us, being able to custom-design a business that fits the lifestyle we want is the ultimate dream.

But, being an entrepreneur requires one KEY quality: the willingness to take risks. And this is where I see many promising entrepreneurs and new business owners struggle. Especially women.

You see, when I mentor a client, she always starts out saying she is finally ready to step up and build a wildly profitable business.

Wealth, wine, and drop-dead gorgeous gowns…

And she’s all ours on this week’s Glambition Radio.

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.

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.

“Safe is the New Risk”—Glambition Radio Episode #10 with Ali Brown

If you’ve listened to just a few of the interviews with amazing women we’ve had so far on Glambition Radio, I hope you’ve detected they have one powerful trait in common.

These gals took RISKS to get where they are.

They didn’t overthink things, or think “who am I to be doing this?” or fret and flop around worrying about how they would fit this in their life, how they’d do this along with motherhood, etc.

They got excited about their idea, did the research they needed, got the help they needed, and went for it.
