Branding Myself with My Brand!

are you going I've been making things for a while now some have been good creations and some have been bad but regardless of their quality I've always wanted to make sure people know that they are mine and I don't know why I feel the need to mark my own property maybe it's to stop people from stealing my stuff or maybe it's because I'm a narcissistic [ __ ] who knows and I tried getting some inspiration from other humans and animals that mark their stuff that is apparently there's like the Egyptians with their giant statues or the British with the colonial boats and flags gang members with their tattoos the Wolves with with the ping on the trees or the giant clothing companies that own every child in the world and I've tried all of these methods but nothing seems to work but then I saw animal branding now this is a very permanent and cool way to mark something and I reckon if it's good enough to torture and scar animals before we eat them then it is good enough for me so before I brand my brand with a brand new brand I decide to look up how I can become a better brand so I don't waste my time branding myself and I found this article by Michael Hyatt titled 5 tips on how to sell your soul and become a brand you my friend are a brand a photographer life coach presentation expert alternative energy entrepreneur website developer skincare clinician like I am all of those things I've been thinking about you me and I've been thinking about many - yeah alright I've been thinking about the professionals I mentioned above who have put their trust in me to feed them the spinach they need to nourish their personal brains there's a lot to consider let's just let's just move on to the tips ok number one define your audience what are they means what are they plans how can you help and I'm not really sure because I don't really know any of you I don't know who you are so I can't answer this question although I assume a lot of you are Samoans and then the other ones I assume are living humans which means you probably need food water and shelter so I reckon I'm going to do a lot more water related videos in the future number two create a clear value proposition what can you offer your audience well I know the answer to this question you're obviously only watching my staff because you think the things I make are absolutely amazing and I am The Da Vinci of modern creators number three write a compelling brand slogan remind yourself of the level of noise in the media today and recognize how critical it is to make a strong impression quickly and I already live my life by one motto the most inspirational quote I have ever seen which I first saw on a wall in China all day I'm [ __ ] busy only get little money Oh very true Chinese sweatshop worker very true number four show yourself people want to connect with people not merely brands so I know that I have one very recognizable part of my body that I've been embarrassed to show for a really long time and I usually keep it covered up so here it goes my fingernails and I've been biting my nails my whole life and I've tried many times to stop but nothing's really worked until two months ago I picked up smoking and since then I haven't been in my nails at all okay funnel funnel tip number five establish a look develop a look for your personal brand with a professionally designed logo a nice that is where the idea of the red-hot Brander comes in so I've got two ideas in mind for a logo and I could obviously go with the magpie wearing Crocs that is already my logo and it's nice it's cute funny and shows people that I treat Birds well but I also want one that is more memorable and I think my fingernails are perfect when randoms on the internet see them they lose their [ __ ] I have never seen a reaction like it people just can't stop talking about how the image of them is seed into their mind like a mental brand so I've decided I'm gonna make two brands one of the magpie and one of my teeny tiny fingernails so when I make something good it gets the magpie when I make something bad I brand it with my nails so I'm not the best of drawing so what I did was print out both the logos so I can stick them onto a piece of metal and get an nice clean image and I wanted to go for like a 69 wasabi gold vibe but I don't own any gold so I'm just gonna be using this big hunk of Steel to carve the logo into which is absolutely terrifying to cut so then all I'm gonna do is remove all the metal except for my fingernail and I bought these cheapo carbide milling tips from the country that I bought the high quality wallet from so I'm not exactly hopeful that they're going to do a good job of eating up the steel I think instead they may eat up my face like my experience with some other cutting bits which is why I now religiously wear my face shield and protective gear [Music] [Music] so after two nights and one day of Lent I managed to remove all the metal except for my beautiful fingernail which I am hoping will be raised enough to leave a mark so now I'm just adding a handle and I've got a nun little better at welding since my first attempt and it's a lot easier to weld thicker metals together and also ones that have pictures of my fingernails on them so I feel bad if I stuff it up now for the finishing touch a nice wooden handle and I'm going to be reusing some old broken handles from my grandpa's tools and I have a very serious problem on my channel whenever I innocently rub wood with oil everyone always thinks I'm making a sexual innuendo so I'm gonna oil up this wood in the least sexual way possible [Music] so then I repeated the process to make a magpie one and for some reason I gave it a tiny handle but they both look great and good enough to torture a cow so let's go try them out so first I'll test them on some wood if the magpie comes out nicely and now my fingernail uncanny resemblance then on mama would know that my beloved apron then my horrible ex apron and then the sky [Music] this is someone could imagine yes and finally making sure everyone knows my house is actually mine and there we have it I have marked everything in the house meaning it's finally all mine my metamorphose from a normal undefined man into an enlightened entrepreneur that can't separate his life from working money is now complete and if you have any further questions please direct them towards my secretary Darrell oh hey it's me the guy from the computer screen because it's not it's not really me I'm a a time traveler from the past that's here to deliver a message you see the the current version of myself is currently traveling the beautiful US of A and won't have much time to make any videos and I was gonna let Darryl my secretary make some videos but I didn't think you'd be interested in him comparing the difference between instant coffees in the office or a video on the top five sexiest binders in the workplace you know so that's why I decided I was going to make this video and with one super secret very spooky video for Halloween and all so you might be wondering why I'm speaking so slowly and it's because I want to reach the ten minute mark so enjoy that advertisement see you later thank you so much for watching if you liked that please subscribe and check out some of my other stuff [Music]
