10 Jan 25 Tips To Boost Your Personal Brand! #FireMeUp11

Are you ready to get to the core of YOUR brand?

Your PERSONAL brand?

Is TODAY the day you decided to get clear, define, and nurture your personal brand… and SHINE online?
Have you done some work and now ready to take it to an 11 out on social media?

LET’S DO THIS!

Start by focusing on (or writing down) these three things:

1. Define your CORE FOUR. 

Get very clear about what you value, what you love, why you are here and who you are meant to serve!

2. Design your journey.  

What does your BEST LIFE look like?  Now, let’s get you there!

3. Deliver your brand message (aka YOUR STORY) in a clear, consistent, constant manner.

Remember, when you define your Core Four ™,  you are guided by your values, can fill up your soultank with things you are passionate about and truly live your best life out loud on purpose, and on your own terms – serving those you are meant to do life with – every single day!

BONUS – it makes delivering your story so much easier!

We all know “Firing Up Your Personal Brand” takes time, patience, and consistency.  Please don’t get overwhelmed… just take it one step, one day at a time.  To make it easier, here is a list of 25 personal branding “tips, tricks, and truths” for you to review.  They are in no particular order of priority.  Choose one that sings to you right now; when you are ready – take another one on… and then another… and then another!

Here we go:

1. Pursue your purpose, not a paycheck.

   This will allow you to do your best work… if you live your purpose OUT LOUD, the money will follow.

2. Master your craft, define your niche, and let people KNOW what it is.

   Becoming known for one thing is not hard… It is saying NO to all of the other “distractions” that is the hard part.

3. Know your competitors, so you can define your differentiators and tout them.

   Be careful not to “compare” your behind the scene struggles to their successful highlight reels online.  Look at competition from a different point of view… and allow them to inspire you to greater heights!

4. Be your signature self.

   This world is full of knock-offs, spinoffs, and cheap imitations, being “genuine” seems all to often to be the exception, not the norm. There is only ONE you.  Shine your signature self.

5. Be specific.

   For instance, when someone asks you “How are you?” – share more than “fine”. Instead of saying you are “busy” share something you are passionately working on that has your attention!

6. Embrace your uniqueness and your superpowers.

   Not sure what your super power is? Ask yourself, what do people always come to me for when they are in need?

7. Don’t fear failure.  #BeFearless
8. Revel in reinvention.

   There is no shame in course correction. Avoid stagnation.

9. Let your values shine through in everything you do.
