Praise for Brand Identity Breakthrough

“After reading this book I was actually shocked; I had been doing so many of the “Do Nots”!  I consider this book MANDATORY reading for all creators, regardless of what phase you may be in. And especially for the Tim Ferris 4HWWK crowd, like myself, this book is a wake-up call, as well as a hyper-important tool in your toolbox.”

Eric Z, Zbooks.co

“If you want your business to stand out from the crowd and have a solid vision for success, you need an avatar and a story. Brand Identity Breakthrough shares relatable stories about how to choose your customers while your competitors leave that important decision to their clients. You can choose better clients and more control of your life.”
Andrew Henderson, founder of Nomad Capitalist

"To me, Brand Identity Breakthrough is one of the best pieces of literature for every entrepreneur out there."
Afrikanus Kofi Akosah, director of Africa Youth Peace Call Liberty & Entrepreneurship Camp

"Brand Identity Breakthrough is beautifully logical in its organization, introducing every new topic at just the right point to make sense in the context of what has already been explained. That’s a remarkable achievement! As soon as I got past the first few pages, I realized that this book is, indeed, a work of quality with something original and truly valuable to say."

Tim Coulter, Getting Around Turkey

"Brand Identity Breakthrough and its author have helped me manage my marketing, identify my message and draft a whole new brand identity. I am extremely grateful for the huge changes they've brought to my global business."
Olivier Wagner, founder of 1040 Abroad

“From the moment I started this book, there was value bomb after value bomb after value bomb. I was blown away by the detailed knowledge that I picked out from Brand Identity Breakthrough. Highly recommended read!”
Chris P. Reynolds, founder of The DC Entrepreneur House and The One Effect

“Quite often, in the rush toward newer methods of developing a brand, the essence of making it truly stand out gets left behind. Brand Identity Breakthrough provides business owners a comprehensive guide which can give your business the tools it needs. Diehl has total mastery over this subtle craft, and it really shows in his writing here… This to me is the crux of every successful business: grow but also adapt to changing trends and customers.”
Purushothaman Rajagopal, CEO of InfinityMedia.in

“This book is branding on steroids. It’s a combination of marketing, business, financing, entrepreneurship. Its motivating, inspiring and educational. I want to use the material to train my agents and I will ask them to buy copies as well!"
Asaf Halperin, Senior Financial Adviser at Experior Financial Group Inc.

“Brand Identity Breakthrough offers the reader a concise yet brilliant road map to the Holy Grail of making a sustainable mark in the business arena - gold standard branding. I value, respect and like Gregory Diehl for his truthful, authentic and focused attitude to help people around the globe to achieve financial freedom and success with much humanity.”
Helena Lind, Creator & Mentor at HelenaLind.com

Preface
Introduction

Section I: Why Identity Matters

Brand Identity Breakthrough starts by outlining the reasons for its existence. You have to know why you are here, the philosophical underpinnings to the subject of brand identity, and what you stand to gain if you implement it correctly.

By combining it with powerful skills in speaking, writing, and other mediums of communication, you will forever change the narrative landscape of your industry.
