The Brand Starts With The Man

Published by JamesP26 on Wednesday, March 17, 2010 at 11:31 am.

Copy of mvp107_1

Last night on “The Michael Vick Project,” Mike was trying to build a brand for himself outside of football. Wait a minute…

Didn’t he just get back on the field after a jail stint for dogfighting and an NFL suspension? Mike might be jumping the gun a bit trying to increase his brand power so fast.

One thing that Mike mentioned is that he will soon be 30. I can see why he would want to gain more progress in life and grow his brand, especially while he’s still young. But shouldn’t his focus be football? Yeah, we saw his dedication to improving his game, but won’t anything else, especially extensive business, get in the way right now?

I do feel on one side he should lay the seeds for his brand right now and let it grow without rushing it. He just needs to keep his priorities straight. It will be hard balancing football, family and business. But at the same time, knowing how many people don’t want to see him right now, and how he needs to improve on the field, I feel he may have to wait on building that brand.

If anything, I agree with the bit of advice Kevin Liles gave Mike. He said that building the brand starts with the man. Starting with himself is one thing Mike can do now, and depending on how you look at it, it’s something he has already been doing. What do you think? And more specifically, what about him should he start with?

And what should Mike offer in his branding? What do you think?

dang i totally forgot to watch the first episode.

If you ever want to check my blog it mainly focuses on one topic or a quote, and then is complemented by a story thats actually happened or either symbolizes something real.

Good Morning! “The Brand starts with The Man”

yes I missed the story on monday night but been watching you ever since you return to back on the football scene and was so glad that my favorite gave you the opporunity to show what the real Vick has for the game and I pray that the time that you spent away from your family has show you what real family mean to you when you are away from them for a length of time. I sais that because I am in relationship that came back to me while he he is still in ptrison but I am not a shame to say where he is @ because God gave me back the man that once and now love for me and not just because, and I can say that because he has tattoo my name on bothe hands and on his neck.. So I say to you is that stay forever strong in your relationship, And forever to your family because sometime family is what you need the most in time of needand Always put God first and let him handle the rest.

Waiting to See You Again
