You had this great idea of starting your own business, where you could make money and maybe even work from home? You got all your facts and figures sorted out, then you began to think about your companies image, logo designs, and how courageous you are for jumping out on your own.
Now, you are all-excited and pumped about a New Year and maybe making up for lost ground last year or just eager to mash the gas into the New Year. Before you make your next move, read this article about Chef Ruben Marley, and how he evokes a passion for branding. Then do it.
I've known Ruben Marley since the days we shared all sorts of conversations back in the 1990's when we worked together. Even then I could see the depth of his imagination and creative design. To me it's only natural that his ability to create a great gourmet dish is no mystery - however I must comment it is miraculous - He's always had a passion for creating stellar designs - I even have one of his first business cards - I thought to myself back then, this guy is better than good!

This is what branding is all about - passion. You can see in the video that chef Ruben has passion, purpose, and performance.
