Key Takeaways:
"I'm not a fan that a weakness can become a strength, but it's certainly good to be aware of your weaknesses and how you can minimize those and the impact that they have on your brand. But better to spend time leveraging your strengths." - Paul Copcutt
"Identify who your target audience is, you can't try and be something to everybody, because then you'll be nothing to anyone. So, it is vital you identify who your target audience is; it's not so much that you won't attract other people from outside of that target audience, but you only have a limited time and resources that you can invest in branding and marketing yourself." - Paul Copcutt
"Nowadays, a website is almost a must; people will Google and try and find you straight away by looking at a website or finding your other online presence. A website is kind of like your home country; it's where you can direct people to, it's where you can control the message. And you can control the traffic, and everything else versus anything else that you do elsewhere is under the control of other people." - Paul Copcutt
"My recommendation, particularly around social media, and if you're not spending a lot of time on social media, from a business perspective, is to get very, very good at one platform. Again, it goes back to identifying the right target audience; if you know where they hang out, then you can focus that time on that social media platform to engage with them and build relationships and get them to know like and trust you." - Paul Copcutt
