Own It - canstockphoto15764545

Sometimes being in business is uncomfortable.

You have to put Your face and Your name out there.

It can feel like your business almost represents your worth as a person. If you aren’t getting hired it can feel like you’re not worthy of being hired.

BrandMix Tidbit: Personal Branding – a Luxury or Necessity?

As an entrepreneur, it can be easy to look at “personal branding” as a luxury and put it off until you have “extra” money. I have come to realize that not only is it a necessary but it’s also a “must have” investment.

Your personal brand is actually built from the inside out. It is the essence of who you are. It is your personal values and belief system and how you express them to others.

This is what defines your personal brand and how others perceive you. Is it a reputation that would make someone feel inspired to work with you?
