Your Brand Can’t Be Copied. Unless it is a "me too."

Let’s face it—most things in business can be copied.

Your product? Tweaked.

Your pricing? Matched.

Your strategy? Duplicated.

But your brand? That’s the one thing that should be untouchable.

Unless… you sound like everyone else.

And right now, too many founders are blending into the same recycled language, same templates, same tone.

The problem isn’t competition. It’s sameness.

In a noisy market, blending in is the fastest way to disappear.

Founders say:

“But I need to sound professional.” “I should follow what’s working for others.”

Here’s the reality: The more you copy what’s already out there, the more forgettable you become.

People don’t remember “almost.” They remember original.

Real story: bland to bold

A coaching consultant kept getting ghosted after discovery calls—even though her offer was solid.

Her site? Sounded like every other coach: “Empowering transformation through purpose-driven strategy.”

We threw it out.

She rewrote everything using her own words—the way she actually spoke.

New tagline? “Let’s clean up your business mess—without the burnout.”

Result? More replies, faster closes, and her dream clients started showing up saying,

“I love how you talk. You sound like a real person.”

Originality isn’t risky. Playing it safe is.

You might think bold branding will alienate people.

And you’re right—it should.

Because the right clients don’t want a watered-down version of your offer.

They want you.

The more you bring your tone, your beliefs, your perspective into your messaging…The more you attract people who resonate—and repel the ones who don’t.

That’s not a problem. That’s positioning.

How to stand out without trying too hard:

1.Write like you talk - Read your homepage or bio out loud. Does it sound like you? If not—rewrite.

2. Ditch the industry jargon - Instead of “360-degree growth,” try “We help you stop bleeding leads.”

3. Share opinions, not just information - Hot take > safe tips.

4. Repeat what’s working in your own way - Even if the topic is trending—your spin makes it original.

Final thought:

You don’t need to invent a new category. You just need to own your lane so confidently that no one confuses you with anyone else.

Because copycats get short-term attention. But originals build long-term trust.
