"YOU" are the Brand!
Wikipedia defines “Personal Branding” as the process whereby people and their careers are marked as brands.
It has been noted that while previous self-help management techniques were about self-improvement, the “personal branding concept” suggests instead that “Success” comes from self-packaging.
The term is thought to have been first used and discussed in an 1997 article by Tom Peters, an American writer, best-known for In Search of Excellence.
Quoting from his book, Talent: Develop It, Sell It, Be It
“The harsh news: This Is Not Optional. The microchip (internet) will colonize all rote activities. And we will have to scramble to reinvent ourselves - as we did when we came off the farm and went into the factory, and then as we were ejected from the factory and delivered to the white-collar towers.
The exciting news (as I see it anyway):
This Is Not Optional. The reinvented you and the reinvented me will have no choice but to scramble and “add value in some meaningful way.”
No where is the “concept of personal branding” more important than in the “Network Marketing Industry”.
As more and more people become familiar with the concept of “leveraging their time, and leveraging their income potential”, your ability to “Succeed” in this industry will be directly proportional to the “value” that you bring to the industry.
And that “value” will not be just about “you”, it will also be about your values, your reputation, your committment, and your willingness to extend a hand to the “new distributor”.
In “Magnetic Sponsoring” it is written..
Always remember - The world sees you as you see yourself! They believe about you what you “believe” about you. There are no rules!!
If you have to pick something to be, pick something great!
And if you are going to “Brand” yourself…
“Do It Well”!!
To Your Success
