Vital insights gathered:

* Brand defines and differentiates your offer from the competition, adds value and eventually protects your business.
* Products are made in a factory, Brands are bought by consumers.
* Service is rendered in the shop, Brands are experienced by consumers.
* A brand is the [promise of the bundle of attribute that someone buys and that provides them with emotional satisfaction (Tim Amber, London Business School)
* We only grow when we step outside our comfort zone.....Unless you try to do something beyond that you have already mastered, you will never grow (Roger Federer on achievement)
