Stop trying to be the best. Start trying to be the only
Discovering your perspective makes you uncopyable
👉Your skills
👉Your connections
👉Your experiences
👉Your values
Because no-one sees the world like you
Want to be uncopyable? Then go where no one else on the planet can
👉Your skills
👉Your connections
👉Your experiences
👉Your values

Imagine writing this great ad with you as the car...
Want to make yourself uncopyable?
Be more vulnerable and share…
📖 Your story - the experiences that have helped craft you
🧐 Your perspective - what matters to you and why
👊 Your struggle - what you have pushed through to conquer
Easy? No way Essential ? Absolutely
Outdated conventional wisdom - market benefits not features
Category design wisdom - market the problem, become the solution
Prime thinking from @categorypirates and @lochhead 👊
Think of content as food
Consume too much low nutrient content and you become intellectually obese
But good thinking nourishes
What are you eating today ?
Tik-Tok creates some of the stickiest content on earth
Attended a conference to help me understand how
👉 Make it native - know what your tribe love
👉Sell benefit in the first 2 secs (and often)
👉Simply demonstrate 'how'
👉Give a clear CTA
Can apply this in so many places!
A great alternative perspective on the content tsunami we're promised will lead to success

Love this insight. I love marketing but a lot of it is unnecessary bullshit meant to obfuscate rather than enlighten
What are the 3 core principles of creating uncopyable brands that you would hold dear above all others?
Acceptance is great, rejection is OK
The enemy is apathy
I went to a concert.
At the end half stood and cheered, half sat silent
That's just fine.
You can ignore those that don't care
And double down on those that love what you do
Life is too short to focus on the maybes
I know journalling helps capture unique stories but I don't have time!
So I 'micro-journal' every day. 2 rules only
1) 5 minutes max
2) Memorable words and metaphors
A recent example .
👉Snipers Alley
👉Mary & Joseph in the CBD
👉Schnitzel & broad shoulders
I remember clearly!
Outsourced thinking isn't enhanced thinking
Yes, AI can help you think faster, deeper and wider
But when faster deeper wider is the new norm only you can unlock your uncopyability

Mission Barbenheimer completed (at the marvelous @Rdng_bsct_fctry).
In summary: an ambitious two act piece exploring what goes wrong when men are in charge.
Everyone can do something better than anyone else in the world
You just have to find out what it is
And believe that you can do it
