It applies to anything and it's EVERYTHING. Do you have a brand? Is it First Class or Economy?
*** Everything you say and do (in both the real and virtual world) is either strengthening or weakening your personal brand **
Personal Branding is:
- "WOW" people! EVERYTHING you do has the potential to be WOW if you desire it. WOW people are remembered, respected, trusted and sought after
- BE DIFFERENT! What are you doing to stand out and be counted??
- Positioning yourself as a person of value that can help other people
- Being known as a “doer” rather than a “this is what I want to doer”
- Always being that smiling, friendly, enthusiastic, passionate and professional person where nothing is ever too much trouble
- Being known as a leader, a participant, and not just a wall-flower
- Someone who can listen instead of always talking!
- Always being prepared - preparation is half the battle already won.
- Being confident - the execution of any action is rendered merely mediocre and will not have the desired effect (confidence also comes from preparation)
- Having a great sense of timing - the correct action at the wrong time is useless
- Being a person of action! Activity breeds results.
