Then, use it to drive every business decision. It's more than a mission or vision...it's a foundation that supports your business, drives your passion and reminds you why you do what you do, every day. James Gregory said it best in his book Marketing Corporate Image: "(Brand) is a declaration of who we are, what we believe, and why you should put your faith in our company.” Once you've made that declaration, the rest is easier. You don't have to wake up in the morning and wonder "what am I going to do today?" You simply know it....you know why you're there and how you're going to act. Embracing your brand reduces stress and gives purpose to everything you do. -Mark True | Brand Warrior I’d also suggest that a solid brand statement be formed with careful and candid consideration.

There is no way I would be able to succeed in my online business without a lot of drive and dedication, probably even more so than other biz because you need a lot of discipline and most of that I get from the drive.
