"Personal branding is not about building and presenting a partially true carbon-copy image of what you believe people want to see. Personal branding is about understanding your uniqueness and how to use your skills, characteristics, accomplishments, experience and attitude to make you stand out.

Hi Michael,

I think it's a mistake to think about branding as simply distinctiveness. You can stand out in a bad way too. Personal branding should be about showcasing authentic attributes that are appealing to customers or employers. So it's neither about creating a falsely positive impression nor is it about being different. It's about being different in a way your customer finds appealing. Thanks for sharing this with the BizSugar community.

James. Glad you liked it. I would bet most know of this reality but have external forces which distract.
