Two big reminders about how to grab attention hit me at the end of last week.
One happened as I spent Thursday morning with my old pals Richard Battye and Jeff Grant at River Studio in Birmingham.
We shot some cool video, and I realised how awesome it is to be working with experts in a properly lit environment, using professional equipment.
Compared to clamping the iPhone on a shelf and pressing “GO”, it’s like Premier League vs jumpers-for-goalposts in the park.
Then on Friday, I interviewed JHM design expert Simon Clements about the importance of having your social banners looking smashing and totally on-point with your brand.
Rather than showing your tribe something you knocked up on Canva in 5 minutes.
[Or 5 days – that shit’s hard, right?!]
Anyway, my Monday mentoring for you:
👉 You get a very tiny shot at a first impression
👉 People will decide your value at that point
👉 You have to reinforce that value every time you show up
👉 Pros can do stuff better, faster and often cheaper than you can
👉 Don’t wait “till you can afford an expert” – you can’t afford not to
How are you looking?
Love you lots
Jonny
