Do you know?

What would you like it to be?
What do you want to be known for?
How do you deliver value?
What’s the (insert your name here) difference?
What do you hope they never say?

The answer to those questions (and many more by the way) are what comprises your personal brand.

Set aside some time this week, put pen to paper, fingers to keyboard and plan your incredible new brand for 2009!

Happy Branding!
