Ever wonder what makes household names like Oprah, Ellen, or Beyoncé so powerful?
It’s all about influencer branding, and Laura Bull will tell you everything you need to know.
Bull spent 10 years with Sony Music Entertainment, becoming one of the company's youngest executives and spearheading artist development and marketing for globally recognized brands.

We live in a world that’s obsessed with talent. We celebrate gifted students in school, natural athletes in sports, and child prodigies in music. But admiring people who start out with innate advantages leads us to overlook the distance we ourselves can travel. We underestimate the range of skills that we can learn and how good we can become. We can all improve at improving. And when opportunity doesn’t knock, there are ways to build a door.

Customers, followers, subscribers. It's easy to just look at the numbers. How many likes? How many purchases? How many email subscribers? But as entrepreneurs, we have to remember that there are people behind all that data. People who are looking to us to be a leader, to give advice, and to care. In this dog-eat-dog world, these are the people who are looking for someone who they can trust and who they know have their best interests in mind.

Creative work doesn't come with a guarantee. But there is a pattern to who succeeds and who doesn't. And engaging in the consistent practice of its pursuit is the best way forward. Based on the breakthrough Akimbo workshop pioneered by legendary author Seth Godin, The Practice will help you get unstuck and find the courage to make and share creative work. Godin insists that writer's block is a myth, that consistency is far more important than authenticity, and that experiencing the imposter syndrome is a sign that you're a well-adjusted human.

Dan Sullivan, the world's leading coach for highly successful entrepreneurs, wants you to know that achieving 10X growth is exponentially easier than striving for 2X growth. Most find this idea confusing at first because simply imagining 10X growth causes them to think they need to do 10X more work to achieve it. However, being a 10X entrepreneur is nothing like what most people think.

practical solutions and exercises
real life images and brands were referenced. Positive and negatives of influencers were cited. There were small difference in prespectives related to certain brands/influencers but nothing that would take away from the value and application of the wisdom from this book.

Good Read
Pretty good read overall. Bull provides lots of key point branding strategies, but the best benefit of this read is the online access Bull offers on her website. It’s like all the notes and key takeaways you would write down while taking book notes, but already done for you in the website.
This read is recommended for anyone on a journey to building and truly discovering their brand details and authenticity.
