Creating a Conscious Personal Brand
There are basic questions that all of us have to answer if
we are to live a happy and fulfilling life in business.
Hundreds, even thousands of books have been available on the
topic for decades. In fact, there is so much information on
hand everyone is frozen by the sheer volume of it.
If you take the greatest thinking available and distill it
down to its most basic elements there are really just a few
questions to consider.
The 4-basic questions to answer that will
help you create a conscious personal brand are:
1. What are you all about as a human being?
2. Who are you in business?
3. What is the one thing must you accomplish in
business and life to find deep fulfillment?
4. What value can you offer to enhance the life of
someone else?
If you don’t have an answer to these four questions, you are
and probably having a hard time of it.
To reverse the trend, look deep inside.
When people ask you what about what you do for a living, do
you relate a job title or company name? If so, your work
probably feels more like drudgery than happiness.
Tell them about your personal mission
As an example, my client Jeremy Tuber of Can Do Graphics is
on a mission to help young designers succeed in less time.
He wants to help them avoid the usual five-year learning
curve that puts many of them out of business.
He spent a very long time codifying his experience and has
now created a book called
Being a Starving Artist Sucks. Some reviewers have
called it, “The Bible of graphic design success.”
It focuses on easy to apply strategies that will make any
design business profitable and enjoyable instantly.
Jeremy found a mission to go on. He wrote a 500-page book to
help a targeted group of people. He cared about them because
a long time ago he was starving too.
They give him $100 and he guarantees they will get back
$1,000.00 in return or he will give them their money back.
He created a conscious personal brand. Now he is on rooftops
screaming his message to the world because he is passionate
about helping young designers avoid the pitfalls he
experienced.
It’s not hard but it can be difficult
All it takes is admitting where your deepest passions truly
lie. Then all you have to do is create a product or service
that adds value to the lives of other people.
From there, passion kicks into high gear and you will want
to tell the world.
The clock is ticking. It is now almost 2008
You have 2-choices:
1. Keep riding the same bandwagon you are on today.
2. Create your own conscious personal brand and really use
your greatest passions, talents, and genius?
The career of your dreams is waiting but only if you
take action now to accept your new position.
