Some people simply lose their minds when it comes to Halloween … I am not one of those people. In fact, I generally don’t like dressing up in a costume and I definitely don’t like putting stuff on my face. Drama club never had a shot at me … But a lot of that changed once I had a child, which should be obvious to anyone (unless you are a heartless jerk).

This is a guest post written by my friend, Enoch Sears, the founder of Business of Architecture. Coming up on this October 29th and 30th, the Business of Architecture Summit is the premier online event for small firm and solo practitioners who want to run a better business. I presented at the Summit last year and it was a great experience. I need to sit this one out, in order to focus my energy on the upcoming launch of EntreArchitect 2.0.

“Citizen Architect” is a phrase that – if you are in the field of architecture – you hear a lot.

If you were to back 10 architects in to a corner, hold a gun to their collective heads and ask: “ When it comes to Architecture, what really matters? ” What sort of answer do you think you’d get in response? You might have to pistol whip a few of them but they would eventually say “The Big Picture.” Again, we’re talking Architecture here, not World Peace or the fair treatment of lessor beasts.

This may come as a surprise but I don’t talk about everything that goes on here at the office ( just about ) and that extends to projects.

Well, it’s pretty easy actually.

Each of our prospects come to us with a story in the minds. It’s their understanding of who we are as architects and a definition of what we do. That story may have been placed their by friends or family or from experiences as a child. Its likely, at some level, that story was placed there by HGTV. The story of who we are already exists. Marketing is the process of replacing that story, which is often inaccurate or just plain wrong, with your story.
