Best 114 quotes of Loren Weisman on MyQuotes

A brand messaging strategist focuses on the authenticity, authority, optics, psychology and perceptions of a brand, persona or product.

All the drive in the world is worthless if you are driving yourself off a cliff.

All the drive in the world is worthless if you are driving yourself off a cliff. Match the motivation, determination and drive with education, organization, and implementation to cross the finish line.

Amplify with your authority instead of shouting publicity. A sell only goes so far. Your experience, knowledge and authenticity have the endurance to engage and sustain a connection.

Anyone can have the best product, people and team, but arrogance, ignorance and avoidance when it comes to communication will destroy any brand, concept or company.

Are the people you are listening to experts in selling or experts in their given fields or both? Many can sell their services with a greater expertise than the expertise they have in the services they are selling. Watch out, look out and dig deeper.

Are you considering the other person you're calling when you call? Do you ask if it is a good time? If not, why not?

Are you selling with soul or do you come off like you are selling your soul? If people only see you selling your expertise all the time, without experiencing elements of you sharing the expertise and knowledge you have, then what reason are you giving them to trust you or buy?

Artists of today can be inspired by the past, but they have to apply present methods if they want a future in music.

A straightforward answer to a straightforward question will move you that much more forward in this world, that much faster.

A well-written article does not make what was written factual or something to subscribe to. Fiction does not become fact because it looks good. Fiction does not become fact because you wish it were true. Fiction does not become fact because it has turned into popular opinion. Remember this before reading the news, views, opinions or commentary.

Before you jump back up on that horse that threw you off, take a minute to figure out why you got tossed in the first place.

Before you tell people to check you out with hopes that they will write a check to you for your services… Check yourself. Check your references. Check your claims. Allow all those checks to be cashed in truth. Bad results from those bad checks highlighting overdrawn, unsubstantiated and unproven hype will keep you in a negative balance with your reputation and financial situation.

Being a celebrity does not make someone an authority. Take it all in, but do the due diligence, vetting and fact checking before you buy into the hype that may be truly popular but is entirely false.

Be the person you would do anything for. Be the person you will not let down. It’s time to respect yourself and your dream; both truly deserve that respect.

Brand before liftoff. For the best launch, the farthest reach, and the most results, build the brand foundation and fuel it while it is still on the launching pad. Designing a brand after you take off is like fueling a rocket after its lifted off.

Breathe and wait ten seconds before you put up that post. Is that content good for today, tomorrow, next week, next month and next year? If not, alter it, to create a professional endurance to your content

Calling for change and being part of making change are two very different things. Stop calling for change and be a part of making the change you want to see.

Carrying someone else’s weight is only going to weigh down on you and add stress, frustration, and pain. Choose who you work with and play with wisely.

Choose those you give your trust to carefully. Be caring; be loving; be creative. But also be careful.

Communication and a clear mutual understanding between two people or more can help to build the best route to success in any venture.

Confidence has to be backed up with competence.

Confidence is sexy, but sexy does not necessarily make someone confident, competent or able to do what they claim they can. Don't let looks fool you.

Content without continuity and connection will leave you with fewer conversions, sales, and engagement. Stop trying to create something to go viral. Start building an authentic connection rooted in endurance and engagement.

Demanding change and justice is worlds different from devoting time and efforts to making those changes and creating that justice.

Do not assume that people are seeing you. The more you can clarify, optimize, and engage your fans and strangers with branded marketing and merchandise, the better chance you have of being seen and then heard.

Do not hide, duck or cover when you are asked to give an answer or information that someone is not going to like. Answer the questions, even if the answers are not what others want to hear.

Don’t oversell what or where you are, especially in today’s industry. It is easier now than ever to be found out as a big-talking beginner or a liar. On the other hand, honesty is strength; use it.

Do you know the logins and passwords for the accounts that have automatically been logging you in for ages? Do you have the logins and passwords for your domains? Do you have the login for your #website and are you listed as an admin on it? Even if someone or some business is managing pages, you should always have a login and password sheet for everything that has your information, your business, and your brand on it.

Either be a good parent to your career or just give your dream up for adoption.

Everybody and their mother has a book and a podcast these days. Instead of telling people to check it out, (like everyone else already does)... Give them reasons to check it out. Tell them what your content is about, why you are sharing it and who would like it. Engage!

Financing is not the finish line for success. It means you are ready to start the marathon with the backing of fiscal endurance. Failure is still an option if you do not spend wisely, allocate correctly and continue to budget effectively.

Focus on your messaging before you focus on your marketing. The skip to marketing when the messaging is not in place makes for more expensive marketing costs, confusion with the public and their perceptions as well as a lack of continuity and endurance growth. There are hundreds of ways to tell a story and thousands of ways to tell different parts of a story. Still, be sure you have your story and the foundation of its messaging solid, situated and clear before bringing it to a public that has a very short attention span and tends to read only headlines. Many will need to see you telling your story and different parts of it a number of times before they click through, read on, connect or buy from you.

For your own professionalism, reputation & appearance, it really is ok to NOT post every #video, picture, event or show on social media. On the contrary, holding back, waiting or not posting certain things all together can help much more than hurt.

If I have to justify or prove my friendship to you by liking or sharing a post, then we are not friends. People I call friends, don't use passive-aggressive approaches with their friends to bump up their likes, shares or connections online.

I find it wonderful how a microwave, a wet paper towel and 15 seconds can extend the life, taste and quality of pretty much any cake donut.

If some musicians put half as much effort in to the business side as they do their outer look and appearances, they could be twice as far.

If someone is trying to sell you with only past credentials and older accolades without including present examples and up to date proof, you might be dealing with someone that is sharing expired information and does not have the up to date knowledge to help you.

If you are not presenting your message with confidence and self-belief, why should anyone have confidence or belief in your message?

If you are ready to face the fears, take the steps, do the work, be more than you thought you ever could, and attack the dream, what is keeping you? Lose all the excuses and replace them with all the reasons for success. Be the change for yourself. Commit to the dream or quit. There really is no middle ground.

If you are saying the same thing as everyone else, then why would and why should anyone think you are different from everyone else?

If you are... saying the same things as everyone else… sharing the same links as everyone else… posting the same quotes as everyone else… and putting up the same pictures as everyone else… Why should anyone think you are any different than everyone else?

If you can't say it to their face, don't say it behind their backs. Speaking "in confidence" has lost a great deal of "confidence" in that being true these days. With the ears and recording devices out there that are looking for you to... slip something out for them to use against you... share something you shouldn't... Say something that could be taken the wrong way... Or some one looking to get a sound byte that could bite you in the rear... It is good to keep those elements in mind as you are talking, texting, emailing, posting or sharing anything and everything. Think of it as preventative maintenance and crisis management to keep a crisis from happening.

If you don’t know your tendencies and can’t analyze when you are most effective, then how can you get the most done in the least amount of time with the best results?

If you don’t understand something clearly that you are being taught…speak up. If you feel something is confusing or you are unsure of exactly what to do…ask about it. If you need clarification or something repeated to make sure you got it…request it. If you feel lost, forgot something, or feel like you are falling behind…bring it up. Nodding your head, saying “yeah, yeah” and pretending to know things you don’t is right up there with one of the worst things you can do when you hire some one to help you and your career.

If your customers do not feel like they are being engaged, what reason do they have to remain engaged or connected with you?

If your dream is all about winning an ‪#oscar‬, a ‪‎grammy‬, an ‪#emmy‬, or another award, give up and quit now! Why dream for accolades, awards, recognition or celebrity status? Dream to learn, achieve, grow, sustain and succeed. You will be a happier person in life over trying to define your success or your dream by what others think of you.

If You... say the same things as everyone else… share the same links as everyone else… post the same quotes as everyone else… and put up the same pictures as everyone else… Why should anyone think you are any different than everyone else? You have your own creativity. You have your own story. Stop trying to tell another person’s story and start engaging people with yours.

I'm less concerned with how hard you can work and how much time and effort you can dedicate to a project when everything is going right. Plenty of people can do that. I'm more concerned with how hard you can work and how much time and effort you can dedicate to a project when everything is going wrong. That's a rarity and shows true honor, true character and will lead you that much closer to success.

In my talks, I share the branding approach focused on the strategy, the content and the connection over just the look and the feel. It is the content that makes the connection and continues to keep people connected.
