By intentionally cultivating and amplifying their personal brand, architecture business owners can differentiate themselves from their competitors and attract more opportunities.👉 Many architecture practices rely heavily on referrals for winning work. While referrals are valuable, Bob suggests that combining them with other marketing strategies, such as content creation and building an audience through social media, can lead to greater growth and specialisation in the industry.👉 Bob addresses the fear of visibility that many individuals have when it comes to personal branding. He encourages people to understand their fears, write them down, and gradually desensitize themselves to overcome these fears.👉 It’s important to create valuable and diverse content to engage with your audience. Bob advises against being repetitive and suggests incorporating different dimensions of your life into your content, such as personal interests and experiences.👉 By positioning yourself as an industry authority and providing valuable content, you can establish a strong bond with your audience and make it a no-brainer for them to choose you over your competitors.👉 Embrace criticism and the fact that not everyone will like your personal brand. It's okay to repel some people because it allows you to attract the right audience and makes decision-making easier for potential clients.👉 Personal branding can help architecture business owners grow beyond their local areas and limitations. By establishing a globally amplified personal brand, individuals can gain visibility outside their catchment areas and open doors to specialised projects and opportunities.Links Mentioned In The Episode...Get Bob’s Personal Brand Business Roadmaphttps://amplifyme.agency/roadmapBob’s Website >
