The Brand Journey Framework: 1. What do I want to have happen? 2. What would I have to be known for in order for that goal to happen? 3. What would I have to do in order to be known for the thing that makes my goal happen? 4. What would I have to learn in order to do the thing, to be known for the thing, to make my goal happen? If you can answer those honestly, you’ll know what you’re building toward and why it matters.

Most brands have no clarity. They post, they create, they chase trends… but they have no idea what it’s all building toward. This is why I created the Brand Journey Framework. It’s four simple questions that provide an immense amount of clarity: 1. What do I want to have happen? 2. What would I have to be known for in order for that goal to happen? 3. What would I have to do in order to be known for the thing that makes my goal happen? 4. What would I have to learn in order to do the thing, to be known for the thing, to make my goal happen? If you can answer those honestly, you’ll know what you’re building toward and why it matters.

Most people’s brand strategy is: Post and hope it works. They’re loud. They’re active. But they have no idea what they’re aiming at. It’s Alice in Wonderland energy: “If you don’t know where you’re going, any road’ll get you there.” The goal isn’t just to grow. It’s to grow toward something. Figure out the outcome. Reverse-engineer the brand that gets you there. No more wandering. No more “I’m just testing.” You’re either building with intent or burning momentum.

You don’t determine what content you make is “high quality.” Your audience does. We teach the full system inside Ralston Select. Comment “Select” and I’ll send you the details 👊

Comment “TRUST” and I’ll send you everything you need to make content that actually gets customers inside of our program, Ralston Select 👊 Real talk: most people making content right now are optimizing for the wrong thing. They chase views, go viral, and still don’t sell a thing. Big respect if you’re trying to break that cycle. Because here’s what nobody tells you... millions of views don’t mean millions of customers. “Going viral” is the fastest way to build an audience that will never buy from you. That’s exactly what we fix in Ralston Select. Enrollment is open right now, and it’s the program Trevor (my Content Director) and I built to teach you how to make educational content that builds trust and turns into actual customers. Every concept in this video comes from what we teach inside of Select. Truth is, most people aren’t “bad at content.” They’re just making it for views first. Ralston Select is where we teach you how to make it for the people who actually become customers (because there’s a big difference). Comment “TRUST” and I’ll send you the details :)

I believe this is the way that you stand out in what people would call a saturated market…just don’t be the same as everyone else in your space.

#1 — Stop chasing views Views aren’t bad…but it’s generally not what we recommend you optimize for first. Create content that’s meant to create trust with your audience, not just get you views. This will actually get you results for your business rather than just get you to go viral. Most advice online is for entertainment content. Educational content and entertainment content are very different. Just make sure you know which type you’re making. #2 — Build an idea machine. Get a clear on ideation for your content. No amount of editing and team members will fix a bad idea. The “idea formula” is simple: The painful problem your ideal customer faces + your unique solution to that painful problem = the idea(s) That should give you a clear starting point for many different content ideas. #3 — Train your creative team to be systems and process oriented Every step of your content process needs to be systematized to create the most efficient process. And if you have a team, you know creatives are known to have a messy workflow. We recommend you have a project management process to keep track of ideation, pre-production, production, post production, and performance tracking. You can set this up with any tool you’d like (Asana, Monday.com, Trello, Notion, etc.) #4 — Establish roles for the different platforms you’re creating on The role you assign to a platform determines what you optimize for, what you track (aka what you care about), and what you ignore. The roles we use for platforms are: 1. Customer Acquisition (attracting customers) 2. Talent Acquisition (attracting future employees) 3. Audience Acquisition (building your audience) 4. Insight Acquisition (getting you learnings to implement) You generally want to pick one primary role for each platform you make content on. This determines what you track and what type of content you actually make on the platform. #5 — Sign up for Ralston Select where we teach you how to do all of this and more. Comment “select” for the details (Enrollment ends in 6 days).

If you’re building a personal brand, I usually recommend that you set the monetization bar low in the beginning. Like… really low. I usually tell people to not expect any real monetary outcome for at least 36 months. Views too, like I mention in the video. That’s three years of posting without needing it to pay you back. Because the reality of how it goes for most is: Nothing. Nothing. Nothing. One thing pops. Then it’s back to what you had before. But if you can stomach that for two to three years, you’ll actually give yourself a shot at winning. And if you happen to be in the minority that pops within 6 months, amazing! Love that for you. I just prefer to go into things with a long term mindset, not short term.

I didn’t start with “branding” in general, I didn’t even go with “personal branding.” My pond starting out was “personal branding for educational brands”. AKA a pond I could actually have potential of owning. The problem is most people pick a pond in the beginning they’ll never dominate. Start small and “pond up” overtime.

If your space feels crowded, that’s not a bad thing. It means there’s already proof that people care about what you do. And it gives you a clear view of what everyone else is doing, so you can do the opposite. Most people in saturated markets all sound the same because they’re copying what’s “working.” But if you look close, what’s actually working is the differentiation itself. Study the patterns. Then break them. If you’re wondering where to start, here’s a quick exercise for you. Grab a sheet of paper. On the left, write down everything people in your industry say or do that you disagree with. On the right, write the opposite. That’s your playbook.

Most creators get stuck doing the same thing that’s already working. It’s safe. It’s predictable. But it’s also where growth starts to stall. The real breakthroughs happen in the experiments. The ones with limited data, limited proof, and no guarantee. If you can get comfortable playing in that space, you stop chasing trends and start creating the stuff other people copy. 70% –> What you know works 20% –> Iterations on that 70% 10% –> Experimenting with entirely new shit
