October is a month for deep reflection on everything you do and are doing in your life and business.   It is a refreshing month for deep thinking about starting new things and expanding your ventures to diversify, fostering momentum and motivation for the new year, before the end of the year. Remember, brand-building is long-term to survive and thrive in a disruptive digital economy.  AI Assisted Content Creation Most entrepreneurs, solopreneurs, startup CEOs, creators, and marketers are singing hallelujah for AI advancements.   But at the same time, fear further serious distortion of their brands' reputation and stability from constant disruptions.   And AI generated content also comes with superficial use of the language that distort your brand style in communication and voi...
