YOUR STAND IS YOUR BRAND - Book Summaries

YOUR STAND IS YOUR BRAND
How Deciding "Who To Be" (NOT "What To Do") Will Revolutionize Your Business
Introduction
The 5-P Expansion sequence
Instead of asking "What should I do?" or even "What should I sell?", entrepreneurs and business leaders today should be asking "Who should we be?" The reality is it's not what you do, or even what you sell, that counts these days. Instead, it's what you stand for that people will notice and react to. Therefore, make sure you run your company based around values that resonate with you. Leverage your personal philosophies and the right customers will respond.

The 5-P Expansion Sequence is the step-by-step process for articulating what you truly stand for, and then linking that to what you do. It shows that your philosophy is the ultimate cause, and prosperity is the ultimate effect.
Unleashing the power of your stand
To make the most of your philosophy, you've got to stand on the purest expression of your philosophy. In other words, you've got to figuratively find your Miles Davis. He is legendary in the jazz industry for translating what was in his soul, and pouring it into his music in the purest form possible. You have to do something comparable.
Be willing to practice creative destruction
In business, complacency is death. Therefore, practice periodic creative destruction. Be willing to let go of how things are in order to build something even better for the future. The ultimate act of creativity is to break down your current business so something more powerful can arise from the ashes in the future.

About this book:

This is a go-to guide for entrepreneurs to succeed by taking a clear stand and aligning their business with their values.

What do I need to do?

It's almost always the wrong question that an entrepreneur or a business leader asks when creativity seems to have been lost. When you're stuck and the journals and books you've been reading and going to the masterminds and conventions and seminars you've been attending haven't led to any breakthroughs. When your notepads full of "proven best practices" should have brought you to the next level but haven't.

In this paradigm-shifting work, serial entrepreneur Patrick Gentempo explains why the primary question you need to ask as a business leader is "Who should we be?"

While it makes sense and may sound pretty easy, it's actually one of the hardest questions an entrepreneur can ask no matter the scale of business they are running.
