What Is a Paradise Brand?
A Paradise brand is one that is driven by your life’s purpose, looks professional, and helps you earn income doing what you love, while striving towards “Paradise”.

- Feeling frustrated with creating graphics in Canva?
- Losing money making opportunities due to a low performing website?
- Sick of the DIY graphic design hamster wheel?
- Tired of spinning your wheels trying to figure it all out?
- Confused on how to communicate your message through graphics?
There’s a better way.

Working with The People's Entrepreneur has been such a pleasure.
He took my ideas and turned them into works of art. Any time I had any problems with my website or print media, he was quick to solve them for me and even help me through them. Everyone who has made comments about our website, has only said how awesome it looked. I will continue to use The People’s Entrepreneur for all of my design projects.

I was very pleased with the end result for Dallas Wine Chick.
I liked the approach that Cortney took–he listened and did a great job in capturing my vision and bringing it to life. Three words I would use to describe Sargent Branding is easy, creative and problem-solvers.

I’m very proud of what’s been created. My new brand represents me in every way.
Sometimes I’ll just look at my website now just because I love it so much. They took the time to listen and understand my passion, which empowered them to brand all of my products and services the way I wanted them. Before I worked with Sargent Branding it was challenging for me to discuss business and talk to people about the services I provide, but now I have the credibility to discuss business with people on a totally different level, and people are taking me serious and booking me for more events.
