		<description>Hey. I especially liked your advice to help others. I think that this point relates to networking and reciprocating with others as well. Perhaps this could be a part of that vision you talk about.</description>

		<description>Thanks for sharing this info! There&#039;s so much to think about when you&#039;re trying to start up a small business- investment, business registration, company organisation, marketing... it can all be pretty overwhelming, so it&#039;s good to have some positive guidance. I think the most important thing is to be resourceful- use every resource available to you, and keep persevering when things get tough.</description>

		<description>Your brand should be unique to your business or product.  No other company or product should be able to use your brand identity sentence.  If they can, then your brand is not differentiated enough from the myriad of other businesses and products on the market.

Take some time to think about your brand and its uniqueness and make any necessary changes now.  You’ll reap the rewards in the short and long term if you do.</description>

		<description>I like the phrase that you use in point no 7  “Take great care in establishing your brand identity”. This is something that most small business owner miss to follow through.

Strategically speaking, the business of your business is what you make and/or sell. All too often we describe our brand ( especially when we are starting a small business) by what we do and this obscures our marketing position and brand strategies.</description>
