What’s the most important thing in business?
Your offer? Happy customers? Cashflow?
Or is it leadership? Innovation? Talent?
When I asked Richard Branson that question over dinner at his retreat in Verbier, his answer was simple…
“It’s the brand”
Ok. Great. Got it.
Makes sense.
“But wait, it can’t be that easy right?”
“There must be something else?”
“No, it’s the brand”.
I was in my mid-30s back then.
And didn’t really get what he meant at the time.
It’s only now I truly understand the importance of his words.
Without a strong brand, you’ll never stand out.
A brand creates customer recognition, trust, and loyalty.
But it also gives you a competitive advantage.
Whether it’s a product brand like Nike, Coca-Cola, Tesla…
Or personal brands like Mr. Beast, Oprah, or Lady Gaga…
Customers instantly know what they’re getting with brands.
Imagine walking into a grocery store to buy a drink.
Down the drinks aisle, the store shelf is stacked with Coca-Cola.
Right beside it, there’s a generic cola that looks similar but lacks the recognizable branding.
Most customers will choose Coca-Cola.
Even if the generic cola is cheaper.
The same is true for your business…
Without a strong brand…
You’re the generic cola on the shelf nobody buys.

P.S. The ski-trip to Verbier with Richard Branson was life changing for me on so many levels.
Not only did he teach me the importance of brand…
I also learned the secret to how Branson manages 400 companies, 70,000 employees and billions in revenue whilst living life to the FULLEST.
In my book “Buy Back Your Time” I reveal the exact strategy he uses to manages his life according to his rules, not the demands of others.
