(Take a personality test on 16personalities.com)

Since now we have begun our exciting journey of finding the “City of our Superpowers” our 1st stop will be

NICHEVILLE

This is one the most important stage of our journey because in this village we will find our Niche. Finding our Niche is as important as finding a soul for the Body. So there are lots of good ways to find our Niche based on our talents, passion, roots, demography (environment) and basic nature as an individual. The diagram below throws light on a technical way to find your Niche…

Talent + Passion (But no Market) = Struggle

Talent + Market (But no Passion) = Fatigue and tiredness

Market + Passion (But No Talent) = Competition will defeat you

NICHE = A right mix of (Talent+Passion+Market)

Next stop.. Marketing town

Once you found your Niche at Nicheville it’s time to pick up some Principals of Human psychology and Laws of Marketing from marketing town.

MARKETING TOWN

It is Important for all of us Learn — Practice — Teach some Laws of Marketing/Psychology in our day to day lives. I am listing few below which are very basic and can be learnt easily with little focus and perseverance.

· Marketing education has a long shelf Life

· Laws of marketing is deeply rooted in Human psychology since the dawn of civilization

· Marketing is most the Valuable Investment

· Marketing cannot be outsourced and has to be done by individuals — organizations — Governments.

· Choose a Category and become a Leader in that Category — Deciding where to compete is half work done in finding Success

· Try and become Verb in your Industry (eg. Lets “JUST GOOGLE IT” — Please “XEROX THE DOCUMENTS” , or the most recent “LETS meet on ZOOM”

· If you choose a competitive Market try and create a Unique Selling Proposition for you product in the Market. (Eg you can be India competitive 2 wheeler Market with giants like Hero,TVS,Bajaj but be like Ather — A niche and now a market leader in electric scooters in India — It created a Niche for itself in the a very competitive 2 wheeler market in India)

Nowadays it is believed that everything can be done digitally but actually it’s not an either/or situation and purely depends on the Product-Demography-Budget-Target market ect. The Chart below a simple comparison based on which you can choose the right mix of Traditional and Digital

CHOOSE MARKETING TYPE BASED ON THE FOLLOWING

Having passed Nicheville and Marketing Town it’s Important for us to have a pit stop and sharpen our Communications Skills. As having good communication skills in our will help us counter various unknown events we might face in our Journey…

COMMUNICATION SKILLS

· Good Marketing is only effective with Good communication.

· Good Communication does not mean Sophisticated English.

· Write like you talk. Join conversation in peoples mind.

· Know your target audience well and what language they understand best.

· Write down your thoughts — Take notes

· Writing down something gives you clarity and something which was just a thought get manifested in real world

· READ-WATCH-LISTEN- good books,movies,Plays,Podcasts . Do not watch news or Bias content. Choose your personality type and only consume content which makes you grow and get better.

· “FEEL”- is the most advance form of Communication. If you feel the communication from Mother Nature-Your Body — Animals you can achieve your superpowers very quickly. Make friends with Meditation and mindfulness

OK STOP !!!!!!

I hope you are enjoying this journey so far because if are not then you need to go back to the beginning and read again as to why started in the first place — SUPERPOWERS..

You will only start experiencing the true Bliss of Your SUPERPOWERS once we at Town called “Personal Branding” so buckle up and Type “YES” in comments column of this Blog before going ahead.

100 KM AWAY……….

Now that I have your full attention let’s get to the more serious end of this Journey. Let’s meet our Wise UNCLE ECONOMICS on the way…

UNCLE ECONOMICS

Lets see what wise Uncle economics has for us

· Knowing the basic fundamentals of economics is a must for every Entrepreneur

· Economics helps the entrepreneur make informed decisions

· A country economy grows if the avg age of young people is low. (eg Avg Age of Indians is 28 . So More young people means more people will enter the workforce resulting in more income will finally resulting in more consumption.The reverse is for Japan where the avg age japanese population is 46 so more people will be retiring — Leaving the workforce . Hence,earning less leading to less consumption)

· A bit more about Indian economy — India has a big population but not all can be your customer .

· Most of the Income and consumption comes from Top 10% of the population earning 80% of GDP.(This is Called INDIA-1 — Read Srijith pai model of India Economics)

· Most of Income and consumption Comes from either India-1 or India-2

· A typical Customers/consumer of this category have following characteristics like

Owns own house

Has a laptop

Owns an i-phone

Has Credit Card

Has a Car Annual Income more than 5 lakh/pa

Look for you customers India1 or India2. Making product for mass markets require control over large pool of resources (for Eg Telecom companies like JIO-Airtel)

The Diagram below illustrates a way look to make revenue of 1cr

Let’s assume that you want to make revenue of 1 Cr with Profit of 20% — 20 Lakh Per annum. Uncle Economics advises us to do the following

What Uncle Economic is meaning to say is that when you start your entrepreneurship journey find a market with a large population and sell small products/services to them with low MRP’s and then slowly move up the pyramid. But remember as you move up the Pyramid your product/Service need to become more sophisticated and must add a great deal of value to the end consumer.

Coming up…. CATT Missile — Integrated Mrktg — Personal Branding — SUPERPOWERS

Next we pick up our one of our strongest tool from a Professor DD — Digital Deepak — He has mastered the art of finding SUPERPOWERS and now he equips People like us on this journey with the Missile Called

CATT MISIILE

So now let’s understand what Professor DD Tells us about this Missile and how do we deploy it to find our SUPERPOWERS

SUPERPOWERS = Niche ^ CATT

Attach your niche to the principal of CATT and it will just launch you into Orbit where you find your “CITY OF SUPERPOWERS”

1. NICHE : You already have your Niche by now which you found in the Nicheville

2. [C] — CONTENT: Create meaningful content that attracts people from your Niche. Blogs, Lead Magnets, Live webinars etc.

3. [A] — ATTENTION : Drive Traffic/attention to your content using SEO, Social media, Paid ads and referrals

4. [T] — TRUST: Build trust with your audience with trip wires, Marketing Automation , Retargeting and Deep trust Building.

Digital marketing is not about doing only one thing but creating a kind of Funnel or machinery which will help you create a beautiful system to deploy all the tools of modern digital marketing and attract more and more people into your environment.

The more you practice this complex system the more good you will get at it and willhelp you reach your goals/ SUPERPOWERS faster

PERSONAL BRANDING BASICS

· The best KNOWN will always beat the best

· People want to hear from PEOPLE , not from Brands

THE FINAL FRONTIER

MASS TRUST BLUEPRINT

· WORK — Put your new skill to work. Go from practice to implementation in the real world. It will give you a “Proof of Concept”. (Work=Job/Freelancing/Own projects)

· BLOG — Write about what you have learnt and experience through your work. When we write we understand it better. BLOGGING helps you build your personal Brand.

· CONSULT — Now that you have a personal brand through your BLOG, have work experience and have learnt the fundamentals. Start consulting business instead of working for others.
