After the training session with Jenny and Matt on how to use Canva. I had a go and produced a very simple, but kind of nice, social media post on Saturday. Small step, but felt big to me!

Your Brand Needs an Enemy Not a competitor. An idea. Great brands are often fighting something. Complexity. Waste. Mediocrity. Confusion. Poor service. Outdated thinking. Low standards. Industry nonsense. When customers understand what you’re fighting against, they understand more clearly what you stand for. PowerUp for today: Complete this sentence: “We are fundamentally against…” Then ask: Does our marketing show it? Does our customer experience prove it? Does our team know it? A brand with something worth fighting for has energy.

Don't be shy, introduce yourself here in the group, tell us about yourself and what you are building this year?

If you’ve been feeling like 2026 is moving faster than your actual business priorities... this is for you. We’ve just launched The 90-Day PowerUP™ — a free live 60-minute Masterclass designed to help founders and business owners stop drifting, reset their priorities and make the next 90 days count. The big idea behind it is simple: You don’t have a planning problem. You have an activation problem. Most business owners already know a lot of what they should be doing. The challenge is what happens after the plan is made. The diary fills up. Clients need things. New opportunities appear. Urgent work takes over. Important priorities get pushed back. And before you realise it... another quarter has gone. We call that The Drift Cycle™. Inside the Masterclass, we’ll walk you through the five-stage FutureLAB™ system: REVIEW → FOCUS → DESIGN → ACTIVATE → EXECUTE You’ll look at: - what actually happened during the last 90 days - what genuinely matters next - what needs to stop - what is most likely to derail you - how to keep your plan alive once Monday morning arrives This is not another generic goal-setting session. It’s about building a quarter that is deliberate, focused and executable. It’s completely free There are multiple dates and times available, so you can choose the session that works best for you. 👉 Book your place here https://www.qbranch.consulting/future-lab-90-day-business-planning-workshop/masterclass And one more thing... Once you register, you’ll also be given the option to complete our new 90-Day PowerUP Audit™. That’s a personalised business diagnostic that gives you your own: Drift Score™ Drift Profile™ Activation Risk™ and a personalised 90-Day PowerUP Report™ The Audit is optional, but if you want to arrive at the Masterclass already knowing exactly where your business is drifting, it’s well worth doing. Another 90 days will pass either way.

The Strongest Brands Make People Feel Something People rarely remember information. They remember feelings. How did you make them feel? Valued? Safe? Inspired? Understood? The businesses that win hearts usually win markets. Today’s Action: Before your next customer interaction, ask yourself one question: “How do I want this person to feel after they’ve experienced our business?” Then design the interaction around that feeling.
