Book Description

April 1, 2010 Display of Power
According to the U.S. Census Bureau, every day nearly 2,500 people go into business for themselves. Their firms account for 78 percent of U.S. businesses and $951 billion in receipts. Entrepreneurship is abundant in America, especially in the current economic crisis, but how do these companies stand out from the rest in order to succeed?

The Brand Within by Daymond John, founder and CEO of the revolutionary FUBU clothing line, brand strategist and star of the ABC hit reality show, Shark Tank, is the second nonfiction book in the best-selling Display of Power series. The Brand Within examines the loyalty of relationships companies seek to establish by attaching celebrities to their brands and the instantaneous impulses consumers exhibit when purchasing a product. Drawing on his cutting-edge experiences in the fashion business, as well as his hard-won insights developed as a sought-after marketing consultant to trendsetters and tastemakers, the author argues that branding relationships have now seeped into every aspect of our lives.

Daymond John is widely recognized as a branding and marketing authority and a sought-after consultant on the ever-changing urban/pop culture marketplace. He describes the evolution of a brand--from its generic inception to its watermark--and offers expert commentary on iconic personal ''brands'' ranging from Tiger Woods to Muhammad Ali and branding as it pertains to corporations such as Blackberry and UPS, among others.

The Brand Within, co-authored by Daniel Paisner, who is credited with nine New York Times bestsellers, is a dynamic roadmap to growing a successful brand.

Drawing on his own experiences on the cutting edge of the fashion business, as well as on his hard-won insights developed as a sough-after marketing consultant to global trendsetters and tastemakers, the author maintains that branding relationships have now seeped into every aspect of our lives and that in order to survive and thrive in the marketplace, consumers and aspiring professionals need to understand and nurture those relationships. -- Daymond John is the founder/CEO of the revolutionary FUBU clothing line, brand strategist and star of the ABC hit reality show, SHARK TANK, --This text refers to the Kindle Edition edition.

What a treat it is to sit beside Daymond John on Shark Tank! He's full of surprises, but it's no surprise that he's just as smart and funny and cutting-edge in print as he is on the set. This is a book for anyone who wants to rock their own world, the same way Daymond keeps rockin' his-and ours.

4.0 out of 5 stars from hustling clothes in streets to ringing the bell for the NASDAQ, February 14, 2011
This review is from: The Brand Within: The Power of Branding from Birth to the Boardroom (Display of Power) (Paperback)
Mr. John and three of his friends started the urban fashion company FUBU (For Us By Us) back in the early 90's. At first they started selling custom designed clothes out of duffel bags but by the late 90's wearing FUBU was the thing to do for both famous rappers and hip hop stars to America's youth in general. In this book Mr. John speaks how 'branding yourself" or becoming "Brandish" as he puts it - is so deeply important. Everything from the shoes you wear to how you smell to what you post on facebook or twitter shapes the "Brand" that is you. Mr John also talks about his time on the show Shark Tank.


My Opinion - I enjoyed this book as it shows the reader that you don't necessarily need an MBA or college degree to reach your dreams - Mr. John never attended college. Instead, you just need an idea and the persistence to achieve. One great tip for entrepreneurs that I definitely took away from this book is to paraphrase "Think Global, Start local"

5.0 out of 5 stars Quite enjoyable read, May 17, 2011
This review is from: The Brand Within: The Power of Branding from Birth to the Boardroom (Display of Power) (Paperback)
On the surface, I have very little in common with this author. I am a middle aged, white grandmother from a small town in the Midwest. This is one of the most enjoyable books I've read in awhile and here's why: I felt like the author was talking to me.... little ol' me. Yes, I've had dreams I haven't acted on with the success that he has. In spite of our demographic differences, he ignites the fire within a creative individual. Being a mother and grandmother, I especially like his explanation of how his mother influenced his dreams and values. I only wish I really could sit down and talk with him; the book impacted me that profoundly.

5.0 out of 5 stars I Couldn't Put this Book Down! Buy it NOW!, April 4, 2011
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: The Brand Within: The Power of Branding from Birth to the Boardroom (Display of Power) (Paperback)
I purchased Daymond John's book, The Brand Within, after watching him on Shark Tank. I had to learn more from this shark who appears soft spoken on the show, yet holds an infinite amount of wisdom for young entrepreneurs, which is obvious when he speaks with that sparkle of understanding in his eyes. I was blown away with this book!

Not only did I learn step by step "how-to's" for me in the area of branding but he reinforced the basics of business and how to take your idea and make it a success NOW. I don't want to give away his secrets, but he shares them ALL in this book! His does so with humor, making me laugh out loud as I learned what I knew was true. He related branding analogies to those we can all understand (Barack Obama and Michael Jackson are examples) to further hit home his insights so that his message is impossible to miss.

I enjoyed how he explained that his "branding smarts" were engrained into his mind as a young man, with messages his mother taught him. If only we all could teach our children to "think big" I can only dream of the world we all will live in. If you are a young entrenpreneur and want to learn how to get started with your business or idea, READ THIS BOOK TODAY! You will be thankful you did.
