Most people are building a personal brand by copying the "experts" who are already famous.
But following their current strategy is the fastest way to stay unknown.
Recently I was inspired by Rory Vaden, “Wealthing and Well Known - Chapter 2”.
“If you want to break through the noise, you have to stop doing more. You have to start doing less.
We are often told that "multiple streams of income" is the goal. In reality, diluted focus leads to diluted results.
When you spread your energy across 10 different projects, audiences, and platforms, you aren't building a brand—you’re just creating noise.
The "Sheehan’s Wall" Reality
Between being "unknown" and "well-known" is an invisible barrier. Most people bounce off this wall because they try to hit 10 different spots at once.
The winners? They hit one spot. Over and over.
Gary Vaynerchuk didn't start with everything; he started with wine.
Brené Brown didn't start with "leadership"; she started with shame research.
Lewis Howes walked away from millions in revenue to focus solely on his podcast.
The Shortcut to Uniqueness
You don't need to invent a persona. You are most powerfully positioned to serve the person you once were.
Your "uniqueness" isn't a marketing gimmick. It’s the solution to a problem you’ve already solved for yourself.
Ask yourself:
What challenge have I conquered?
What tragedy have I triumphed over?
That is your message. That is your edge.
Stop marketing to strangers and start exploiting your uniqueness in the service of others.
What is the one "revenue stream" or project you need to quit today to find your focus?
What is the number one most important goal you want to pursue?
