Updated: Jul 10


Have The Greatness To Bend History Itself.

BORN TO RULE. LEADING FRUITFUL COMMUNITIES


You're in a league of your own- exquisite and regal. Your brand? It's the epitome of sophistication, a beacon for those aiming to become the type of person they write history books about. Born with bonafide leadership ability you create responsible outcomes that benefit the greater good . Yet, in this tale of splendor, challenges lurk – keeping the specters of chaos, dethronement, or dwindling control far far away from your kingdom.


You navigate spaces with a steady hand and the agility to adapt, ensuring your crown shines bright, steadfast against the winds of change. While it’s easy to fall into the traps of tyranny and detachment, your blood type is community-striving instead, for a connection that beckons your audience closer, into a realm of mutual respect and understanding. Ever articulate, poised and seasoned, you have an undeniable finesse for weaving your vision, values and grace into the very fabric of your gold-gilded robes. Such robes inspire admiration, inspiring your followers to wear them like a cloak of honor. Stand tall, for you’re about to lead your community into a a world of wealth, success and prosperity. Reign on!



THE COMMON THREAD

So why build a Ruler brand? You first exist to take control of your own life to create and maintain power and security THEN add value to others by leading them to wealth, power, and prosperity within their fields and communities.


ON-BRAND BEHAVIOR

You create experiences that make people feel more SOPHISTICATED, SUCCESSFUL, and REFINED. Any sign of usurpers disrupting the stability you create or bringing chaotic energy to your perfectly curated environment will be met with the swift coldness of the guillotine- "Off with their heads!" Your messaging inspires trust, awe and admiration while encouraging others to take responsible action that will lead to success.
