Define Your Personal Brand Statement

The best creators in the world know exactly why they create content.

They’re driven by a deeper mission that fuels everything they share online.

I’ve helped hundreds of entrepreneurs gain clarity on their personal brands, and today, I’m sharing a framework to help you do the same.

I call this foundational "why" your Personal Brand Statement - a zoomed-out reason for:

  • What you care deeply about
  • What you’re uniquely positioned to provide
  • What you’re ultimately trying to achieve

You can spend 10 hours a week creating random posts, or 10 hours contributing to a mission that truly matters.

The choice is yours.

My Personal Brand Statement

After refining mine through several iterations, I landed on:

Helping people share their voice with the world.

I know this works because I dedicate days of my life to helping people create meaningful, educational content.

Is it perfect? No.

But it gives me a clear direction - something that ties all my content together.

Let me tell you a secret... 🤫

I was stuck on my own brand positioning for months.

To break through, I journaled on these prompts:

  • What do you feel uniquely compelled to do in the world?
  • How could you group your different interests into buckets?
  • If you had to describe a “through-line” for your interests, what would it be?

From this process, I created the StrateTree™️ framework, which maps out:

  • Your Core Values
  • Your Content Pillars
  • Your main Topics of Content

Once you've outlined these, you’ll have all the raw material needed to generate your own Personal Brand Statement using my free Personal Brand GPT.

Today's email is sponsored by Constant Contact. I Really Regret This Firstly, hats off to the creators who do it all. It’s not easy to create content—to handle everything yourself, from filming and editing to writing, designing, and staying consistent with it all. That’s why I started Amplify in the first place. I was doing everything myself for Ali Abdaal, Chris Williamson, and Cliff Weitzman (CEO of Speechify). I was good at copywriting, great at strategy (I loved it), but when short-form...
