604: How to Grow and Monetize Your Personal Brand with Rory Vaden
Achieve Your Goals with Hal Elrod
The Law of Reciprocity: You Will Get Paid Eventually
Rory outlines why giving value leads to eventual returns and why generosity fuels long-term income.
When most personal brands fail to achieve their full potential, it’s not because the message isn’t valuable; it’s generally because the focus is diluted, the strategy is scattered, and the mission gets lost in the noise.
Most entrepreneurs are trying to be everywhere at once, chasing multiple income streams, or mistake branding for self-promotion.
The result? Limited results and a message that never reaches the people who need it most. And as you’ll hear from today’s guest, “The Best Form of Marketing Is A Changed Life.”
Rory Vaden is a Hall of Fame keynote speaker, bestselling author of Wealthy and Well-Known (get the audiobook FREE here), and co-founder of Brand Builders Group. His clients include leaders such as Lewis Howes, Ed Mylett, Amy Porterfield, and John Maxwell, and his expertise helps mission-driven messengers turn their reputation into revenue without compromising their purpose.
In our conversation, Rory shares why personal branding is first and foremost a spiritual mission, how service (not self-promotion) is the key to long-term success, and why multiple streams of income is the wrong strategy when you’re starting out.
You’ll also learn the five proven ways to monetize a personal brand, why fear is a signal of self-centeredness, and how clarity of mission removes fear altogether.
