To Define Your Personal Brand, You Must First Define Yourself

Thanks to the rise of the Internet, anyone can put, literally, anything out there. Whether it be through a well-written blog, or an on-the-fly Youtube video or a Tweet that goes viral, the best way to describe a personal brand is to think about this salient quote from Amazon.com founder Jeff Bezos: “your brand is what people say about you when you’re not in the room.”

For that reason, I feel that you need to ask yourself: What is it that I want people to say about me when I am not in the room?

What personality traits of yours would you like to emphasize? Think about some things you like about your favorite Internet — or Hollywood — personalities, and ask yourself, “what is it about those traits that resonate with me the most, and why?” And, most of all, ask yourself how you want to convey those positive traits to the rest of the world. Are you comfortable in front of the camera, or do you prefer simply to write?

Simple Tips and Tricks to Make Your Personal Brand

So, what are some of the quickest, and easiest, ways you can build a powerful personal brand?

  • Know your value and stick to it. Your value is not defined by what you do at your job — it’s what you bring to the table on a personal and professional level. And don’t ever settle for less than you deserve!
  • Do, or do not — there is no try. These are not just wise words from a Jedi master — they’re a philosophy for business. Don’t tell people what you do — show them, and let the work speak for itself.
  • Finally, but certainly no less important, Deliver on your work consistently, and keep track of your results. Your bona fides are essential to repeat business.
