4 Business and Marketing tips from Conor McGregor

Some see a boxer but I see a smart business man who used the power of marketing, branding and social media to create a perfect brand that the general public would buy into.
Here are some of the lessons that every person, brand or even entrepreneur can learn from Conor McGregor:
1-Build your brand:
Like McGregor don’t be afraid to show who you are; he’s stylish, confident, have an irish accent and his known for his trash talking. He’s also not afraid to say and show that he’s the best.
It doesn’t matter in which industry you work, the public likes confidence. It’s selling.
So believe in yourself, the product or service your selling an build your brand and story around it.
Be unique, don’t be like everyone else in your field or industry. Brands are always competing for consumers’ attention, so stand out. If you don’t, they’ll follow someone who is.
2-Embrace your losses and learn from them:
Conor lost a big fight against Nate Diaz and the question was whether or not he will rise from his ashes or this loss will finish him for good?
Well he came back stronger and has beaten down Diaz in a rematch, and his brand is just as strong as ever.
For business, it won’t always go as planned or go well. So be prepared for loss and failure and try understanding the cause of that loss and failure so you can improve yourself and avoid it.
3-Be a master of social media:
You can build your brand only on social media, remember that!
Conor McGregor is a master of social media — especially when it comes to promoting his fights.With millions of followers on Twitter, Facebook, and Instagram, he stays very active and keeps his fans engaged. His social media accounts have accumulated in a combined following of more than 27m.
Content is king and McGregor knows it by sharing daily content and showing his personal life, his life style and even his tattoos; another side of him besides being a boxer.
McGregor maintains a consistent message across all his social media platforms: “I am the best.”
4-Have the right team behind you:
Your team is everything, and every single person fills an important role that contributes to the overall success. McGregor knows that he would be nothing without his team. His brand that he’s building is successful because of his work, but without his trainers, coaches and management he wouldn’t be where he is today.
