Do you want a community that are hooked on your brand? It’s important to understand how best to communicate with them via your content.
Which is exactly why we wanted to touch on three important points to ensure your message remains consistent and in line with your brands core values.
1. CREATE A STRONG BRAND IDENTITY
A strong brand identity will help you do two crucial things:
– It will set you apart from you competitors
– It will attract the customer and community you want
A brand strategy is a plan that outlines what you want to achieve and how you want to achieve it.
2. CONSISTENCY AND QUALITY ARE KEY
Once you understand the why of your business and who you serve it’s important to make sure that’s reflected in your branding.
Everything from Facebook and LinkedIn to email signatures should be uniform.
3. ROME WASN’T BUILT IN A DAY
And your business won’t be either, but you can build it far more quickly with a larger community.
Get in contact with relevant people in your industry through LinkedIn, phone calls, meetings, coffees, after work drinks.
Our professional life is now lived through a screen and we forget how useful it is to build a community through in-person networking.
So, how do you ensure your business stays consistent and on brand? Let us know in the comments below!

In 2020 the COVID-19 pandemic saw Australia move their employees from the office to their home. We juggled our professional and personal lives and embraced new technologies.
The way in which we work has changed forever and with that comes the opportunity to innovate and leave behind outdated ways of conducting business.
There are a myriad of benefits to flexible work spaces such as:
- No cumbersome commercial leases to sign
- The opportunity and flexibility to scale with no locked-in terms
- A space that allows you to choose when and where you work
- The ease of moving into a fully furnished office with all the amenities you could need
- A premium space in a sought-after location with an inbuilt and fun networking culture
So, what flexible working situation works for you exactly? At Victory Offices we offer a number of options, all of which can be tailored to your exact needs.

]]>The Problem With Positive Thinking And What To Do Instead
How often have you had a bad day and been told to think positively?
Often this piece of unwelcome advice only leads to more anxiety when these ‘positive thoughts’ aren’t deeply believed, confirmed, or backed up by your own experience.
Why? Because positive thinking operates at the surface level of conscious thinking and does nothing to contend with the subconscious mind where limiting beliefs actually live.
So what can we do instead?
1. SAY THIS:
We’ve been honored to host Chris Helder and personally live by his creed of Useful Belief in place of vague positivity.
Watch the video below for examples of what you can say instead:
2. Focus on progress not perfection
This simple mindset shift is proven to improve mood, encourage learning, and fosters independence and an entrepreneurial spirit.
Making and admitting to mistakes is a necessary part of learning, of growing, and of being human.
3. Take responsibility and be accountable for your actions
Instead of using the emotional band-aid of positive thinking look at the deeper root of your frustration and action steps to properly heal.
Think about it this way, if you’re responsible for your negative feelings, you also hold the solution to resolving them.
Do you have any other questions or thoughts about what you can do in place of positive thinking? Include them in the comments below, that’s where the most important conversations happen!

As our world navigates the difficult and uncharted waters of Covid-19 we want to discuss how Victory Offices can help support you and your business during this and any crisis.
Of course, it goes without saying, that Victory Offices have:
- Increased sanitization across all locations
- Offer flexible packages and your first two weeks free on any service
- We have postponed all in person events and replaced them with weekly virtual events.
- We have reduced staffing whilst ensuring job security for our amazing Victory family, and continue to monitor this pandemic as it evolves.
But we’re also looking beyond, we are not only here to ensure your business survives but is ready to thrive.
Whilst we can’t tell you what the future holds, we can help you future proof your business.
1. Where do we begin?
Grab a notepad and pen and watch the below video for The CHOICES Map; a series of questions that will help you navigate massive change and gain clarity in your life and business.
The CHOICES Map is a series of questions developed by authors and executive coaches Gail McDonald and Marilyn Bushey.
The questions have been slightly altered to be more relevant professionally.
If you would like to share some of your answers, please leave a comment!
2. Social isolation doesn't have to mean emotional isolation
Victory Offices strives to add value to your 9 to 5, whether that’s through our designer offices, our well trained staff, and, of course, through the plethora of events.
But of course, that all had to change, and we had to adapt.
In fact, we created a space digitally for human interaction by filling our event calendar with virtual events and webinars.
We want to support your need for community as well as your need to stay focused and motivated professionally.
3. There is a beginning, middle and end to every story
This too shall pass, will the future be different? Of course, but we will not be living in this Covid-19 silo forever, which is why we wanted to share three small but impactful reminders.
Remain consistent – As a crisis hits, our adrenaline spikes; we’re thrown into having to take quick action. However, it’s like a sugar high and the crash is inevitable.
Keep perspective – It’s important to lead with the big picture in mind. Anticipate and plan for what could happen next week, next month, and next year.
Focus on your people – Focusing on the daily metrics of your company will not be what brings you out of this, instead it will be those that make up your company.

As everyone all over the world continues to self-isolate, lets talk focus, and specifically how you can do this at home. The likelihood is that you’re now surrounded by more distractions than ever, perhaps it’s your family, the laundry, the refrigerator, your cuticles, or the fact that you can’t remember the last time you watered the house plants.
Losing focus can take seconds, however gaining it back takes a lot longer than you might think.
So, how can we action exceptional focus at home? Watch the full video below:
For more informative videos like this, visit Victory TV
Gloria Mark, a professor in the Department of Informatics at the University of California, has proven that it takes 23 minutes and 15 seconds just to re-focus after losing it.
Who knew that quick scroll of your Instagram feed could carry such dire consequences to your productivity?
So here are a few tips on how you can execute exceptional focus at home…
PROBLEM NUMBER 1: The setup – separate your personal from your professional
Lastly set some boundaries with yourself, your family or your room mates. Let them know well in advance your working hours, and your hours for socializing.
Next, dress the part. Even though you’re at home it can be beneficial to get ready for work in the same way you would if you were going into the office.
Set up a dedicated home office with all the things you require to work efficiently.
PROBLEM NUMBER 2: Indecisiveness
Your quality of focus is more about what you DON’T do as opposed to what you do do? Saying a big fat decisive YES to saying NO will allow you the freedom to focus on what really matters. In fact, Warren Buffet has a wonderful method in determining exactly what to say NO to so you’re able to say yes to what’s most important.
THE WARREN BUFFET 2 LIST METHOD:
So simple and yet so powerful. This method is wonderful in helping you determine what deserves your focus and what doesn’t in your career. It’s also a method you can use to determine bigger life goals as well as determine what needs your attention in any given week, a habit that could easily be adopted on a Sunday evening or Monday morning.
So, first things first, take out your pen and paper and write down your top 25 goals, once again either for career, life or for the next working week.
Once you’ve written down your 25 goals circle your top five, the most important goals you really want to accomplish.
Now you have two lists, your Top 5 list of the most important goals, and a second list of 20 other goals. An A list and a B.
Now comes the point where one must, as Faulkner once said, kill your darlings.
“Everything you didn’t circle just became your avoid-at-all-cost list. No matter what, these things get no attention from you until you’ve succeeded with your top 5.”

The post How To Network As An Introvert appeared first on Victory Offices.
]]>As an introvert networking and small talk don’t come easy, and often the idea of walking into a room full of strangers is enough to bring on a panic attack.
But networking is a crucial part of any job. Learning how to network as an introvert could be what makes or breaks your opportunity to advance in your career.
So today I want to cover 3 ways you can master the ability to network, even when anxiety is high and you would rather be anywhere else than in a crowded room full of nametagged strangers.
For more advice on how to overcome your fears in the face of a networking event view the full episode below or on our YouTube Channel Victory TV. Otherwise, keep reading the truncated version below.
[ultimate_popup id=”https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rJMQIXOlzwI&lc=z235ttxqvl3hzjp5t04t1aokgpwi42gcp4tlpjm00m02rk0h00410″]
1. Be yourself!
I know, it sounds cliché, but it’s true! Networking has gotten a bad rap, but at its core, networking is merely relationship building, it’s not schmoozing, it’s communicating. And it’s important to understand the strengths of your communication style – for example, introverts are usually better at creating intimate one on one relationships and are generally better listeners, two important social superpowers!
2. Do your research!
First ask yourself: What is the point of this networking event? And Why am I here? Figure out your specific goals for attending. Next, ask yourself: Who is it being hosted by and who will be in attendance? Then look them up on LinkedIn, find out what industries they’re in and develop a short but concise list of people you want to talk to.
3. Put on your listening ears!
Once you’ve prepared a list of roughly 10 questions, some of my favourites being:
How did you hear about this event?
What do you do?
How long have you been in your current position?
Are you working on any interesting projects?
Do you have a side hustle outside of work?
Remember that people like talking about themselves, and new research from Harvard suggests that asking more questions – and asking more follow-up questions – increases your likability.
