A good list to start with from my perspective as a guy who's probably made the majority of these mistakes at some point along the way. What I think all this talk of personal brand must be tempered with is the importance of always being curious and of necessary experimentation and failure in the learning process. I tend to take a very existential view towards branding with the idea that you should see branding as something you are doing as you chart your interests and passions rather than something you decide on ahead of time and then later classify every opportunity as either fitting into your preconceived brand positioning or not. A better and simpler question to ask yourself when faced with an opportunity might be, do I really want to do this? If the answer is yes, start looking for ways in which other commitments that are in the way but may hold less appeal can be juggled to make taking advantage of the new opportunity a reality.
