#133: Are you interested in learning how to create an impactful yet profitable personal brand for your company?
In today's world, it seems like there are so many gurus and experts out there telling us how to create or set up our personal brand so that we can make quick money. But that's not the point of a personal brand. Not only is our guest today a Wall Street Journal Best selling author of The Alter Ego Effect and whose latest book, You are the Brand, comes out today. But he is also my coach and I've been honored to be 1 of 12 people taking part in his certification course, because his 8 step process really works. What's really great about this book, especially for Christian entrepreneurs, is how he explains why we can and should stand out in the marketplace without feeling guilty of somehow being arrogant or prideful by promoting ourselves. Additionally, he explains in this episode, how we often overestimate perfection and underestimate the importance of connection when building our personal brands.
