I Spent 20 Years Being Loyal to Companies. Here's the $2M Mistake That Taught Me to Be Loyal to Myself Instead

For two decades, I believed loyalty to others meant everything. 😳

Stay with one company.
Build your reputation there.
Your dedication will be rewarded.

I turned down:
• A startup opportunity (now worth $100M)
• Multiple speaking circuit invitations 
• Book deals and business shows 

All because "loyalty" meant staying head down at the company I was in.

Then I got fired. 💔

Not for performance.
Not for results.
Instead because the CEO I had worked for became ill and replaced himself with someone that didn't like me. 

That loyalty? It cost me $2M in lost opportunities.

But losing that job taught me what real loyalty looks like:

✨ Loyalty to YOUR growth, not their org chart
✨ Loyalty to YOUR network, not their company 
✨ Loyalty to YOUR brand, not theirs

Companies restructure. Industries shift. Bosses leave.

You know what stays with you?

Your skills.
Your relationships.
Your personal brand.
Your track record.

Now I'm:
• 2X bestselling author
• Top 50 keynote speaker 
• Board Member and Podcast Host
• Making 2X what I made being "loyal"

My network? They changed my life. 🙌

Stop trading your potential for their promises.
Stop being loyal to everyone except yourself.

Your career isn't their asset.
It's YOUR empire.

Build accordingly. 🚀

What opportunity did you miss because you were being "loyal"? 👇🏻

Brand Intervention : 33 Steps to Transform the Brand You Have into the Brand You Need

Brand Intervention, 33 Steps to Transform The Brand You Have into the Brand You Need, is the first book written for CEOs, entrepreneurs, brands, and startups that don't have time to read a book on branding.  
You and your brand are a revolution waiting to happen. This book was written to provide the tools to get your brand seen, heard, and ready to change the world written and designed by award-winning brand expert and rebranding specialist David Brier, the recipient of over 325 international awards and ranked #3 worldwide for branding by Klout.

This is why David Brier wrote and designed Brand Intervention.  

It doesn't read like any other book. It's faster.  

Inside, it doesn't look like any other book on branding. It's shows instead of tells. 

It is full-color throughout, with 290 pages of straight talk on marketing and branding for real. You find out what triggers sales, turning buyers into loyal fans.  

Taken from over 30 years of building global brands, regional brands, local brands and startups, this is a no-holds-barred, no-punches-pulled, fat-free compilation of master brander David Brier's gems. 

This may explain why Daymond John, New York Times bestselling author of The Power of Broke, FUBU founder and star of ABC's Shark Tank, wrote the Foreword to this new book and why New York Times bestselling author of The 10X Rule and sales expert Grant Cardone calls Brier "a branding genius" (both Daymond and Grant are Amazon bestsellers in their own right). 

David and his work have been featured in ADWEEK, Forbes, INC, Huffington Post, Entrepreneur, Thrive Global, Communication Arts, How magazine, the New York Times and numerous blogs and podcasts.  
David is also the recipient of the Presidential Ambassador for Global Entrepreneurship medallion, a rare honor amongst business leaders, presented to those who provide insights to entrepreneurs and startups for leadership, marketing, entrepreneurial innovation, and branding excellence.

I TURN IDEAS INTO BRANDS, EXITS & LEGACIES. 🚀 Slayer of the Mundane 🚀 Author of the #1 Amazon bestseller “BRAND INTERVENTION” responsible for $7B in sales

Ads burn money. A great brand prints it. 

I rebuild brands from the ground up—strategy, story, design, and architecture—so you stop fighting for attention and start commanding it.

I help growth-focused companies sharpen their identity, own their story, and build a brand that scales—without the ad waste.

After building brands for Revlon, Estee Lauder, Jim Henson, and others, I quit.

I have no time for indecision and being a layer or two away from gold.

The first billion-dollar brand I built started out with zero sales, and just a really driven founder.

His vision was about shaping an idea into an empire. It was about watching a dream soar.

It's why I love branding. 

I've done the same for a nonprofit, helping generate over $250K in 30 minutes.
Done the same with a city, I rebranded: a 500% increase in tourism in 12 months.

I have done the same for a dog food company, a cybersecurity company, a motorcycle startup, and a beauty brand, and I turned an expedition camper company into a multi-million dollar company in 24 months (during the pandemic).

Branding is like being an explorer, a detective, and a magician all at once: each day is a new adventure.

When I’m brought in to help build a company, I don’t offer a silver bullet. 

I offer a branding arsenal. Forged in the fires of countless campaigns, refined by failures, and validated by successes.

And the most crucial shift during my career? I used to tell stories. Now, I craft legacies. 

Branding is about the imprint we leave behind in the sands of time and the minds of consumers.

It's why I wrote BRAND INTERVENTION, an Amazon #1 bestseller.

That's why I wrote the follow-up, RICH BRAND POOR BRAND, How to Unleash Your David in a World of Goliaths.

It's why the Nasdaq Entrepreneurial Center has me as one of their speakers.

Let's jump on a discovery call https://DavidBrierCalendar.as.me/IntroductorySession

David Brier

Wall Street's still using a formula from 1952.

Brands that do the same thing are losing money.

Tomorrow, I share an insane rebrand.

One that turns Wall Street's STOP sign into the perfect strategy and foundation to START a rebellion for smarter investing.
Turning Wall Street's 70-year-old playbook into tomorrow's roadmap.

The $9B Pattern:

Wall Street's 60/40 portfolio formula (60% stocks, 40% bonds) has more signs of aging and more wrinkles than today's politicians. 

It was built in 1952. 
When Elvis was making women swoon, and retirement meant a gold watch.

Only one problem:
It's not 1952 anymore.

In 2008, stocks AND bonds crashed together.
In 2022, worst year since 1949.
In April 2025, biggest two-day drop in U.S. history.

Diversification didn't fail. It collapsed.

And yet Wall Street's kept selling the same STOP sign:
→ STOP thinking for yourself
→ STOP and follow the formula
→ STOP questioning the playbook
→ STOP expecting different results

And branding gurus keep selling similar STOP solutions, convincing companies that this is the path to growth.

My only advice: STOP the madness.

The Brutal Truth about Formulas:

Every brand clinging to "best practices" is running on autopilot.

→ Like the CEOs who tell me, "We need something like Apple does."
→ Like the marketers still using tactics from the Mad Men era.
→ Like Wall Street selling "what everyone does" instead of intelligent independence that outsmarts lazy "one size fits all" templates.

Matthew Tuttle now knows what other financial powerhouses miss:

When everyone follows the same tired formula, nobody wins.

It comes down to this:
"Wall Street has formulas. Great brands have fire."

The START sign for Your Brand:

In tomorrow's "Do This Instead" newsletter, I drop the full story (and the full video you have to watch for yourself).

How we torched a 70-year formula.
Why insights beat "cookie cutters" every time.
And the exact framework that's rewriting the rules.

Whether you're managing billions or building brands, the rule is the same:

Formulas are STOP signs.
Fire is what makes you START.

Your inbox. Tomorrow. 7 AM.

As long as you're subscribed: 
https://lnkd.in/g2zqk58P
100% free. Unsubscribe any time.

P.S. If you're following your industry's "proven formula"
That is not a strategy. That's surrender.

Replace formulas with fire.

$9bn+ in sales. Make your brand a magnet, not a money pit. I build brands that customers crave. If you're done wasting ad dollars, let's talk.
