So – words have power? Yeah, we knew that already! ??

I thought I knew it, too. I thought, that as a copywriter, I knew all there was to know about the power of words. But then I saw this ?? ?? ?? – and it blew my freaking mind!

After watching this video, my entire perspective on the power of words shifted.

They were no longer inanimate objects on a screen or page, or something you speak or hear, they became forces.

Use the force, Noob.

I've always known that words held immense power. And, for 22 years, I’ve spent every day in search of ways to harness that power – like an alchemist playing around with the elements until I make gold.

What is clear to me, is that 'Words' are the most powerful tool we humans have. Why? Because:

• Words can sell a product to millions; or an idea to billions.
• Words can topple governments; or inspire change.
• Words can make you fall in love; or out of it.
• Words can make you quit; or push you.
• Words can hurt; or they can heal.

Words are what separates us from animals – and we evolved through #storytelling.

It's time to tell your story!

Most people want to skip to the end; the part where they reach their goal. But to do that would mean forgetting the most important part of ANY story...writing it!

Earlier this month, I started writing mine. Or at least a new chapter of it.

I began buiding my personal brand. Okay, okay, I know, everyone hates that phrase, but, for a moment, forget semantics.

#personalbranding is just self-love, self-respect, and self-empowerment – just with a different name.

Building a Personal Brand allows you to grow as a person, discover new strengths–and weaknesses–and become #futureproof. I don't see anything wrong in that. But other people do.

Like I said, "Words can hurt." And it's crazy how many people don't want to see others doing well for themselves. They mock, they judge, they talk behind your back, but ignore them. A personal brand is not for everyone; it's for YOU!

Remember that I also said, "Words can heal"? It's true. I experienced it this week after publishing this post. All of the doubt I had been having, all of the fear, and all of the negative voices were replaced by encouragement, love, and positivity literally overnight. Apparently, my words were helping people!

Here's how I know:

• I gained +1000 Followers in 12 hours
• I attracted +300 New Subscribers to this newsletter
• I booked out my FREE 1-to-1 Discovery Call promotion*
• I got the most incredible compliments on my work I've ever been given

I'm not saying this to gloat. I'm saying it to inspire you, motivate you, and encourage you. Believe me: if I can do it, you can, too!

You just need to believe it yourself. And maybe you need some help, or guidance, but that's what I'm here for.

But you don't need me! Everything you need to write your story, build your brand, and become future-proof, is already pre-installed in you. You just need to access it.

And, when you do, you'll come to realise the true power of words.

I've made it my personal mission to help as many?Brand Noobs.?become future-proof as I can.

So, if you're a?NEW:

• Brander or Copywriter;
• Solopreneur or Personal Brand;
• Brand-New Brand or Early-Stage Startup.
