Personal branding is a topic that is becoming more popular these days but there are misconceptions or myths that surround your brand identity which are good to discuss here.

This is an important concept to grasp but it’s important to understand what it isn’t.

Myth #1: If you have a logo, you have a brand. Having a logo can become a representation of you, your products or services but it isn’t your personal brand.

Who you are and what you represent, both positive and negative are factors that play an important role in how potential customers think of you.

Having a logo, merely creates an image associated with your brand that when seen repeatedly becomes a trigger for people to remember who you are and what you do.

Having a catchy and appropriate logo can be very good for your business as long as it is congruent with your personal brand.

There’s no need to spend millions or even thousands to have your own logo created. Remember, it is a representation and a visual cue for others to think about you and your business or what you are offering.

Myth#2: Your Unique Selling Proposition is your Personal Brand. Having a unique selling proposition (USP) is certainly important when differentiating yourself from the competition, but ‘it’ alone is not your personal brand.

What makes you different from others in your business? Why should customers buy from you and not the next guy? What do you do that is better or more efficient? What extra touch or service do you provide that sets you apart?

Having a USP can serve you well and if you are consistent and congruent with your USP, this can end up being part of your overall personal brand.

From Microsoft to Apple, and many non-technology companies in between, I’ve spent my career creating or re-shaping brands and developing positioning strategies. Much has been written about business brand development, but less about building sustainable personal brands and defining how you are positioned. Why? Because effective personal brand development is a highly nuanced activity, and hard to adhere to without strong internal resources, clear and balanced ambition, and sustained personal commitment.

It’s one thing to say, here’s a hot company or product – and I need to devote significant company resources to forming and shepherding a brand that builds share value. It’s another thing to proclaim, I am the brand – and I need to spend the rest of my life making sure my brand reflects who I am, what I do, and how well I do it. Quite simply, meaningful personal branding is an ongoing life activity that requires degrees of introspection, regular self-examination, and plain old hard work that’s demanding for anyone.

But, your personal brand happens whether you shape it or not. If you are out in the world at all, you are known for the qualities you project and the qualities external audiences believe are true of you. Your choice is simple: Own your brand, or let external audiences own it for you.

So, treat your brand like you would any other brand. See yourself as the asset you must nourish, the true legacy you must protect. Your personal brand is your current and future value.

Personal branding is how you portray yourself to the world. It is how others actually see you, not necessarily how you may want to come across. One can create a positive brand image as a successful entrepreneur, but one can also come across as a criminal—a negative brand image. To make sure your personal branding reflects what you desire, see the following five top tips on using personal branding to succeed in your Internet marketing efforts.

Focus Your Personal Branding Efforts

Everyone is an expert on something. Put another way, no one is an expert on everything. Personal branding starts with finding those certain areas of knowledge and experience that you have accumulated that are significantly greater than the Average Joe. Find those one, two, or three things to focus on for personal branding, and write and work on those. Establishing your area of expertise is the first step in personal branding.

Find Your Voice

With personal branding, you are not an everyman – by definition, personal branding means that you are a unique being with a completely fresh perspective on things. Make sure you sound like one in your blog posts and articles and on your site. Your personal branding should be compelling and strong. To define your brand, ask yourself these questions: What is it that makes me special? Why should anyone care? Why should my customers give me some of their precious time?

Personal branding has been a hot topic of discussion lately, and with good reason. It’s gained mainstream acceptance to the point that most professionals are at least aware of the basics. However, there still seems to be a misconception out there that personal branding is important for executives, business owners and celebrities—but not for everybody else. This couldn’t be further from the truth! Personal branding is an essential tool for all of us—entry-level employees all the way to CEOs of Fortune 500 companies. Effective personal branding will enhance your value to your employer, can increase your chances of promotion, and will position you as an expert in your line of work. And personal branding doesn’t have to be difficult—in fact, the tactics we’ll cover today can be done without walking away from your computer.

Think about your current job—when do you expect to be offered a promotion or a new opportunity? What is HR or management waiting for? In many cases, they’re waiting until they feel you have the necessary experience, or until you’ve developed sufficient expertise, or until you’ve shown the proper level of dedication to your job and your company. Now, strong personal branding won’t by itself accomplish any of these goals—but used effectively, your personal brand can showcase your talents, your knowledge, and your dedication to the outside world.

The first step is to determine the central components to the personal brand you want to build. When management hears your name, what do they think of? Are you young and energetic? Wise, experienced, and a proven winner? What about your expertise and your level of passion… do you love your job? Are you constantly soaking in knowledge, whether at work or at home? Are you up to speed with current developments and events that have an impact on your job? And what is your personality like? Are you laid back, calm and collected under pressure? Or perhaps you’re passionate, driven and determined to succeed in your every endeavor. Once you’ve identified two or three traits that you want to emphasize, you can begin building your brand.

There are four types of arbitrations. I like none of them when you compare them to mediations, but here they are, and here’s what you can do to get through one without having your client taken advantage of.

As a civil litigation attorney in California, whether you have a business, real estate, construction, personal injury or other litigation case in the court systems of San Diego, California Orange County, or Riverside County, CA in courts in Newport Beach, Indio, Riverside, San Bernardino, Riverside, Santa Ana, Chino, Fontana, Joshua Tree, Redlands, Palm Springs, or Victorville, the courts push the cases toward arbitration with much less effort directed toward mediation. While some courts have mediation programs set up with volunteer attorneys, the availability of these is limited as is the time given by the volunteer attorneys. If your client can afford it, in this writer’s opinion, mediation is a much better way to go than arbitration. But to understand why, you must first understand how arbitration works.
