The key is to consistently reinforce your brand all the time and hold your head high that you are the one rising way above your competition.

Thanks for coming by, Dave. Many people still don’t realize that ‘you are not what you do’ and it’s a good point.

Nice and too the point. I especially liked your lead-in to what is personal branding. “What qualities of theirs come to mind when you think of them? That’s their personal brand.”

While you are not what you do, what you do is still used as an indicator by others. It’s like a shadow you cast. As with any brand, some may like it and others may not so the key is authenticity and consistency.

For some people, their personal brand will be something to put “on”. Comedians are often like this. Those people are the ones who have disregarded my advice and chosen a personal brand that only emphasizes a small part of their personality or perhaps nothing at all i.e. it’s completely invented.

On the other hand, if a person chooses a personal brand that is integrally linked to who they are, there is no “on” and “off”. Whether at work or at play, people will consistently feel the same impressions about that person and the personal brand will be constantly reinforced with very little effort.

Very interesting. But it seems to me that a distinction that needs to be made, is the online vs real life persona. Online, you can adopt whatever brand you want, and it seems to me more acceptable to be “on” when you’re communicating online, because you’re only there for part of your day. But in real life…I think it’s better to just be yourself! I’m kind of creeped out by people who are always “on”. It’s a tricky balance, I think. But who wants to be with a person who’s all brand, all the time? What I take from Jacob’s blog, is that branding is more about being aware of your strengths and weaknesses in a general sense, and harnessing your strengths to reach your goals.
