It’s amazing to see people chase the shadow. The only thing such individuals get at the end is that they do not get anything or what is the value of a shadow? In pursuit of any project in life, the focus needs to be known from inception. This write –up has become necessary by a recurrent question I am asked as expert. It is ‘why I am not getting it right?’
Getting your personal brand right is not a one day job. Does an individual grow to become a man in a day? The simple truth is that many pursue perfection at the expense of progress. Perfection is often an illusion for many. This wastes time and make many dysfunctional. I encourage that individual set up a goal for his personal branding project. When this is done, with little progress you get better each day. You have an antecedent that can boost your morale to continue.
An instant demand for perfection makes one stay on the same stop, place for years. Here are helpful tips.
1. Vision: have a vision of where you are going, act and stick to it no matter what.
2. Note your asset: No one goes far without proper SWOT analysis. Know what you can achieve with what is available.
3. Strategy: develop strategy to get to where you are going. Develop long time goal with daily action steps.
4. Leadership: Take responsibility for your action and achievement of your life
5. Measure: always have a parameter to measure little achievement. That gives courage to continue.
6. Teamwork: Collaborate, network, seek counsel, and ask for help when necessary.Toast to a great personal brand.
This is a clue to those that seek for perfection rarther than asking for the value added.
If perfection does not add value then it is effort in futility.
perfection is often frustrating. one step at a time help
To my mind a great strategy is to link to all your stuff. In this way it is not about where your stuff is but that you have one place that can link to all your stuff. Then you can share that one place and people can travel around to your other stuff.
