Seven Personal Branding Actions

In this episode I want to share with you seven actions that impact your brand. Details are found on the podcast audio.

  1. Care – Do you care about others? This is your ultimate mission.
  2. Mission – Do you know the mission and vision of your organization? Not just the stated mission printed on company literature, but the real mission the leaders live.
  3. Mission fit – How do you fit into the mission of your organization?
  4. Define your customers – Do you know them? For details on how to do this, see Company of One Overview.
  5. Seek input – Go ask your customers how you are doing. See Company of One Overview for details.
  6. Be direct – When you have an issue, be direct and up front. This avoids gossip and misunderstandings. Others respect directness.
  7. Know their name – Learn people’s names and use them. I think we all struggle here. I know I do.
All of these actions impact your brand. Notice they are all about interacting with other people. How you do that is your brand!

What If Your Job Ended in 60 Days?

How to stop collecting business ideas and start building real options.

Have you ever noticed how easy it is to spend months—or even years—thinking about making a change without actually doing anything?

Maybe you’ve considered consulting. Or starting a business. Or investing in real estate. Maybe you enjoy your job but are tired of the bureaucracy and restrictions that come with it.

You keep looking at possibilities.

You watch videos, read books, attend workshops, and talk with friends about what you could do.

But nothing really changes.

I think one reason is simple: There’s no urgency.

Want to Quit Your Job but Don’t Know What to Do Instead?

If you want to quit your job but don’t know what to do instead, start by choosing one kind of work to investigate. Identify what you want to change, notice work you enjoy, and talk with someone already doing it. You can take those steps while you’re still employed.

Here are three questions to help you begin.
