Lisa Cumes is a freelance copywriter and brand guide, dedicated to helping business owners develop their own unique “storybrand”, one of the most powerful tools in developing a narrative around the work you do.

In this week’s show, Lisa talks to Nick about the power of telling your own business’s story, the importance of teams who believe in your vision, and why now might be the best time for you to strike out and realise your business ambitions.

KEY TAKEAWAYS
One of the smartest things we can do as business owners right now, is to invest in marketing and product development. Those who have done so, have seen remarkable gains, even through the COVID lockdown.
A growth mindset allows us to see the opportunities that may be in front of us at all times. A closed mindset is almost like turning our backs upon them.
People often don’t follow the financial aspirations behind something. They follow the narrative. They follow the heart and soul of a project. They want to be part of the story.
Storybrand removes the noise, the confusion, and the overwhelm of copywriting, in terms of presenting a business to a customer. It is about concentrating the point and assuring your customer that you can solve their problem.
The best idea isn’t always the clearest choice. The idea that can communicate itself in the simplest, most resonant way, will often be the winner.

BEST MOMENTS

‘He got out of his head. He invested. And he’s got the result!’

‘If one person voices it, then others are out there who need it!’

‘Any component of success, going forward, requires a team’

‘People need to be sold on the fact that you understand the problem that they are facing'
