What Is A Personal Brand?
Seth Godin says this perfectly “Your brand is what people say about you when you are not in the room.” It is not the product that you sell. It is the piece of you that got into business in the first place. Which for most of us, it is because of the connection we know we want to create with our customers. It’s the feeling we get when we walk into your store, or we meet you, search your website, or find you on socials. Personal Brand is all about “feeling” and “connection”. Here are some great examples of personal branding done right.
