The first step of branding a person, product, or service is to find its frequency. What does that mean, “to find your brand’s frequency”?

When I say, “the right people,” I mean the parts of the people you are most attracted to— the parts of others that bring you confidence...

And if you don't like their advice or it isn’t aligned with your values, let it run through your fingers like a grain of sand.
