Ray
We're transitioning...
from a real estate options training company to an educational platform that will host an assortment of on and offline events showcasing educators/teachers/speakers specializing in a holistic approach to health, mindset, wellness, and financial wellbeing.
Here is the rebrand journey.
The outcome!
Timing is everything. And a good brand will birth itself when good and ready. Planetary alignment, one could say. The first brand discovery phone call was held in the third week of July 2017, and the brand process and the finalizing of the brand was completed on November 20th, 2019. This Is It!

Think & Grow Group becomes Think & Grow Education
Health, mindset, wellness, and financial wellbeing ...know-how!
Used to express friendly feelings toward one's companions before drinking.
Health education, the process of learning to behave in a manner conducive to good health.
Health effect, a change in health resulting from exposure to a source.
Health psychology, a branch of psychology concerned with understanding how biology, behavior, and social context influence health.
Health science, the applied science dealing with health.
Mental health, a level of cognitive or emotional wellbeing.
Reproductive health, the capability and freedom to reproduce.
The brand statement
This is Ray's personal statement, which has formed his entire WHY he does what he does. It's at the core of his being and a part of his DNA. A part that would be imposable to remove or distinguish from the rest of his DNA.
As a kid, I was made to feel less than others. In my most vulnerable and lonely time, I was subjected to a decade of being displayed to the school as the 'stupid' kid. My influencers intentionally set out to steal my confidence and self-belief through years of indoctrination.

One day, a guy called Paul walked into my life and told me that I need to change my beliefs to change my life. So I listened and listened, and then I acted. He picked me up by the feet and shook me to my core and BANG…

I realised that my limited beliefs were just a reflection of the limited beliefs of my influencers. I realised that my life, my reality, and everything in it was a mirror reflection of my beliefs. I "changed my mind," and my life changed accordingly.

Today, I take people by the feet, shake them into realising that they, too, are the product of damaging misbeliefs. I inspire them to let go of the past and embrace the higher essence of themselves. I show them how to access their operating system, the system that determines who they believe they are and that it is them that controls their programming so that they can finally change the 'program' and their lives.

Our four UN-spoken walkaway keywords - Trust - Different - Authentic - Approachable

The following four words personify the values that resonate most with our clients. They're still significant values to us, but we believe they will be most powerful if spoken by them rather than us.

They are the most complimentary words used to describe any interaction with our brand. We'd be honored and humbled to overhear them use these words while explaining their experience with us to a good friend.

We believe connection is vital for learning new ways of living life, but only when it's a two-way stream. How we connect to you and how easy for you to re-connect with us is kind of our jam. That's why we're building an omnichannel learning platform that hosts educators, teachers, and speakers specializing in a holistic approach to some of the world's most significant challenges we all face. Whenever you're ready to learn, or where ever you are, we're on a mission to make it as simple as… 'just plug-in.'

Plug-in - On & Offline Live Events: National and international live events, seminars, workshops, and wellness retreats.

Plug-in - One on One Coaching: Paths and customized plans built and personalized for you that feels doable with someone to hold you accountable.

Plug-in - eLearning Courses: Online courses that offer additional paths and support for those paths you're currently active in. And, they're ready when a brush-up or refresher is necessary.

Plug-in - Community and Group Mentoring 24/7: Around the clock availability to those who have walked your path and willing to share their strategy and key learnings.

Community is in our DNA; we know you can't do it alone because we couldn't. And, we've made sure you won't have to either. It's how we roll. So we look forward to seeing you share your home runs (and miss's) with the community.

Your path won't be conventional, but it will be effective. We've flipped the traditional sequence to building sustainable change. Firstly, we make sure you have the necessary emotional mindset to manage what you desire. Secondly, you'll learn the skills and principles associated with maintaining and evolving it. The outcome is an innate sense of ownership, empowerment, and pride around the choices you make and, more meaningfully, how you make them.

Our courses explore health, wellness, and financial wellbeing from both classical and alternative constructs. Upon the introductory context required to embrace the solution is established, we transition into how psychology plays a significant role in your success. We then move on to your biological elements before delving deep into your coolest organ, your brain. We then use neuroscience to help you uncover how your mind ticks and finally landing on how you can influence it to be, do, and have anything you put your mind to. Very cool!

All paths, regardless of being presented in person via a live or virtual environment, are always supported by easy to follow step by steps, video tutorials, check sheets, downloads, and all the necessary supporting materials. And, a real human customer support representative ready when you need one.

Brand Character Statement
Use this statement to guide brand voice, tone, intent, etc. Ask yourself, how would this person, if real, write copy, design web, build social assets, speak on a stage, introduce friends etc.
We're 'that friend' with the uncanny ability to be there when life takes one of those unexpected lefties. We may not always tell you what you want to hear. But you can rely on us to shine a light on the very element you know will join the dots, giving back the direction we both know you have. You've accepted that, at times, we're a bit of a brainhack and deep, but realize it's what drives us to go that extra mile so that you can. We're 'that friend' who invites you to a party of one that feels like you've come home to a warm familiar place… We've poured your favorite bevi and even lit the fire!

Other brand considerations
The brand process is amazing for small businesses who want to avoid spending tens of thousands of dollars with a brand agency. However, keep in mind it only focuses on a few of the many elements needed when doing a full brand strategy.
