I think a book called “The 22 Immutable Laws of Branding: How to Build a Product or Service into a World-Class Brand” is also definitely worth a read. It has some valuable branding information.

I had a prof. in college who always harped on building ‘Me, Inc.’. At the time, I wasn’t able to fully understand what he was trying to convey, but now I do. It mostly has to do with Nan’s numbered list. Something so simple, yet not always easy.

Personal branding requires three parts to stand out:

1. Do something remarkable/spectacular or become an expert.

2. Be a person of your word (doing what you say you’re going to do) – ALWAYS.

3. Give people the opportunity to see, feel, touch or experience point 1 and 2 with you.

Was talking with someone the other night who did not understand the blog phenom. She said, “I don’t know what anyone would want to be that open about their life, the struggles, their heart . . . and do it for the entire world to see.” Seems authenticity is what we expect of others but sometimes the hardest to emulate.

John,

At least for us in “older” generation, there was much spoken or unspoken pressure to put on the corporate mask, play the game, project the image, etc. I know it’s taken quite some time for me to de-program and just be real…but how refreshing it has been to launch out as a solo entrepreneur strictly on the basis of Brand Me. A lot more fun than playing the image game…
