Stand Out: Craft a Point of View That Makes You Unstoppable


Hello Reader

A while back, well actually twenty years ago, I sketched something on a whiteboard that changed the way I explained what I do.

It wasn’t fancy. It was just a simple visual I used to translate tech-speak into business. I was looking for a way to better communication with clients—I wanted something a client could actually understand.

But that sketch? It turned into the framework that helped me land more clients, deliver better results, and build a business that actually worked. I was proud of the framework. It was doing exactly what I had hoped. It was helping me communicate.

When speaking with a marketing expert, he commented that I had create what was known as a "Point of View" or "POV" for my business. Since creating my first POV, I’ve learned the power behind it because believe me when I say your POV is much more than a marketing tool.


That’s what this week’s video discusses:

  • What is Point of View (POV) and why it’s crucial for consultants
  • Five practical steps to define and refine your POV
  • How a consultant, me, refined my very first independent consultant Point of View and kicked it up a notch creating even better credibility and trust
