Why I Stopped Selling DIY Personal Branding Courses

For years, I believed in the power of DIY.

I thought if I gave people the right framework, the right steps, and the right process, they could take control of their personal branding and make it work for them.

And technically, they could—to a point.

But over time, I started seeing a pattern.

People would take the information, get excited, and implement the steps.

But their results?

Mediocre at best.

Not because the system didn’t work.

It did.

I had used it to build my own personal brand and help others gain massive visibility, credibility, and revenue.

But without expert guidance, without someone helping them refine their positioning, adjust their messaging, and optimize their strategy in real time, they were left with a DIY version of success.

And DIY success has a ceiling.

Why DIY Personal Branding Falls Apart

At first, DIY branding feels empowering.

You tweak your LinkedIn profile, start posting content, and follow all the “right” strategies.

But soon, the gaps start to show:

• Your messaging isn’t landing. You think you’re positioning yourself as an authority, but your audience sees you as just another professional in the crowd.
• You’re attracting the wrong people. The inquiries you’re getting aren’t from high-value clients or partners—they’re from people who don’t fully understand or value what you do.
• You’re spending hours creating content, but it’s not leading to opportunities. Your visibility might be increasing, but your brand isn’t translating into business growth.
• You’re following strategies that work for others, but they don’t feel aligned for you. Branding isn’t a one-size-fits-all game—it’s about precision, differentiation, and positioning.

This was happening again and again.

I watched brilliant professionals take an exceptional branding framework and execute it in a way that made them blend in rather than stand out.

Why?

Because personal branding isn’t just about following steps—it’s about applying the right nuance, strategy, and expert calibration.

That’s why I stopped selling DIY branding courses.

Because I don’t want people to “sort of” succeed.

I want them to OWN their space, command authority, and build a brand that actually works for them.

Personal Branding is About Precision, Not Just Activity

Personal branding isn’t just about showing up.

It’s about showing up in a way that commands attention, builds trust, and makes people say, “I need to work with them.”

And that doesn’t happen by accident.

It happens through precision—strategic messaging, positioning, and audience alignment that ensure your brand does the heavy lifting for you.

That’s why the most successful thought leaders, entrepreneurs, and industry experts don’t DIY their branding.

They work with people who have mastered the art of brand strategy, positioning, and visibility.

They don’t just consume content—they get expert feedback and make calculated moves.

They know that branding is a long game, and they refuse to waste time playing it with a weak strategy.
