The Inside Scoop-Welcome to April
Apr 01, 2026 1:01 pm
Welcome to April !
..and just like that, Q1 is done! It has been an amazing 3 months to start 2026. Here’s the inside scoop from my neck of the woods
2 Clients in…2 Clients out..
The month of March held such promise! I was excited to welcome my first 2 clients into the Brandprint Visibility Accelerator. Then Murphy showed up and I lost them both right before they signed on! It’s wild to imagine that the flu and then the war in the middle east affected my sales in this little corner or the world. It just reminded me of 2 things; the first, is how important it is to remain visible and engaged with your audience to keep your pipeline full of engaged leads and the second, is how important it is to be consistent and have faith because together, they bring rewards. Big lesson: even if a sale seems imminent it’s not complete until it’s complete!
Marking Milestones
The month of March is an anniversary month of significant milestones both personally and professionally. It’s the month I launched my book “The Brandprint” , back in 2020 in the middle of the Covid-19 pandemic. It’s also the month I held my first workshop “Create Your Brandprint” in 2025. But it’s also the month I went to work back in 2023 and discovered I was fired via email, in front of all of my colleagues…and on the International Day of Happiness too! Ha! March really is the gift that keeps on giving because every experience taught me something that I can use when I train you.
I Built an AI and it has transformed my business !
I picked up a new and awesome skill in March. Vibecoding! As much as I keep AI on a tight leash, I’ve been bitten by the AI bug, and I’ve seen how powerful it can be for your business when it’s used properly. Naturally, I built some tools to improve the way I deliver trainings and consulting to you. The most useful and important tool I built was The Brandprint AI. This custom trained AI platform has been designed to be your 24/7 personal brand, content and business strategist. Having a digital copy of my business brain, has has turn my content production process from slow and steady into a literal AI powered content factory!
The Brandprint AI, who I’ve nicknamed Brandy, has been trained on all the JBannister Branding concepts, methods, systems and theories, including the Brandprint Book, The Brandprint Visibility Accelerator and Brand from Scratch. It will skyrocket your content production; support your content consistency habit, your product launch plans, PR and media planning, networking and email marketing. It’s like having me on your team every day all day! I’ve been using it to create while refining its capabilities and I can’t wait for you to access it.

All Work, But Play Too
I tried to get out from behind my machine in March and work on my visibility offline. As we celebrated International Women’s Month, I attended a Give to Gain Panel discussion and networking event at my alma mater, the Arthur Lok Jack Graduate School of Business. It was nostalgic being back on campus. I also had a chance to see old friends and make new ones. This month I also went on a tour to the La Vigie lookout. This is a magical little spot in Trinidad that makes you feel like you’re somewhere between heaven and earth. It was my first time, and I was sure to capture videos and pics to make the memories live on...
April Plans
As we head into April, and the start of Q2, I’m excited to see the plan I have materialise. I look forward to potential partnerships producing fruit, closing the deals that are currently in play and welcoming more of you into the Brandprint Visibility Accelerator, more of you working with me in Brand from Scratch and many of you locking in with Brandy and the Brandprint.AI.
Remember that April is the start of spring…it’s a new beginning. I encourage you commit to yourself and you plan for growth and development of your visibility, brand and income.
Thanks for reading and we’ll speak in May…
Cheers
