The Opposite Direction

HOLY COW!!! It’s been quite the crazy week! In case you missed it – let me give you a short re-cap…

Last Thursday, we announced the results from all the ladies who competed at their state pageant (both Miss and Teen) – who also happened to be enrolled at Pageant Junkies University. We were BEYOND pleased with the results – Especially considering the fact that the vast majority of these ladies have never even spoken to me! Instead, these ladies followed the system I created which teaches you how to discover and develop a Pageant Brand that gets noticed on stage (catch last week’s article here)…

Today – we’re going to go in the opposite direction.

You see, I believe that when you have a great product, all you have to do is be honest with people, and let them decide if they’d like to purchase it or not (so – just in case you’re wondering – that means there’s no hard sales pitch coming! YAY!)

Instead – I’m going to outline 5 kinds of people who WON’T benefit from The Branding Course at  PJU. That means, if you find yourself in one of these 5 categories – and you were considering The Branding Course – I’ll tell you right now – Don’t. Buy. This. Course. You’d be much better off without it.

OK – So – Here goes… 5 Types of people who should NOT buy The Branding Course from PJU:

Not-Like-The-Others-Penguin

1. You Have Bigger Battles

If you JUST STARTED in pageantry and you quickly realized your talent, fitness, and interview just isn’t up to snuff, I gotta be honest – PJU might not be for you. The Branding Course can do a lot of wonderful things – but if you have a poor talent, a bad interview, and don’t have the confidence you need in your fitness presentation, there’s absolutely no need to buy The Branding Course. I would much rather encourage you to put your time and effort into the major areas of competition before doing any work on your brand. Having a stellar brand does not compensate for someone who has a poor on-stage competition – Which is why you need to put your efforts there first.

2.  The Prettiest Girl Always Wins 

If you’re competing in a pageant system that’s all about looks and has nothing to do with a platform, or volunteer work, interview skills, or talent – Then developing a stellar pageant brand will not make any difference whatsoever. Instead, I would encourage you to find people who can help you create the perfect “look” – and can show you how to ‘amp up’ the glamour as necessary. If your pageant system rewards “beauty” alone – then this course is not for you and although I know you might learn a few things, in the end, those things will not help you win the crown.

3.  All You Do is Win

If you’ve been doing this pageant thing for decent amount of time, and you frequently win without really even trying, then The Branding Course is not for you either. There are some ladies out there who make pageantry look “effortless”… Honestly – they’re almost “gifted” when it comes to pageant competitions – and that’s absolutely wonderful! Each of us should find an area in which we can succeed! And if you happen to be one of those ladies who decides to do a pageant – and 90% of the time you walk away with the crown, then The Branding Course is not for you! Just keep doing what you’re already doing! If it ain’t broke, don’t fix it!

4.  You Think I’m Going to do the Work for You

Let’s say you like pageantry… You enjoy competing… And you’d prefer to win more often – But you’re not really ready or willing to put any more effort into getting different results. Well – I gotta tell you – The Branding Course is not going to help you either. I’m afraid you’re going to have to put in the effort if you want to change/improve yourself. Heck – You can watch all the modules and take the best notes in the world – But if you don’t APPLY anything that you’ve learned, you’re not going to succeed. It’s just like any other area of competition… If you want to succeed in Talent, you need to practice. If you want to succeed in Fitness, you need to make healthy choices and work out. Nobody else can do that work for you. It’s the same thing regarding the Branding Course. It’s full of incredible information that can change the way you compete – But I can’t do the work for you – You need to do it yourself.

5.  You’re Looking for a “Quick Fix” 

The truth of the matter is – Developing your brand takes time. This course will show you many of the things you’re not doing correctly – or not doing at all – But it can’t fix your brand overnight (frankly – nobody can do that). In case you didn’t realize it, The Branding Course is over 3.5 hours of video instruction, outlining our branding system, step by step. We give you successful examples of strong pageant brands, we show you a significant number of rookie mistakes – and we also offer dozens of  accountability questions to help you remain on track. Obviously, you could get through all the modules in an afternoon – but most ladies who are serious about developing a solid brand, find it takes some time to be objective about themselves and then determining what needs to change. You can do it quickly – Or you can take the time to do it right – and do it well.

And there you have it! If you find yourself falling into one of these 5 categories – I’ll tell you right now – Don’t even worry about it – The Branding Course is not for you.

However – for those of you still considering The Branding Course, there’s only one more week to wait! We’re opening the doors of Pageant Junkies University next THURSDAY (July 28th-31st) and we’ve just added a brand new bonus to our original offer…
