A PERSONAL BRAND is really how you want to show up in the world and how you want to position yourself for success!

According to this article, Personal Branding 101: How to Discover and Create Your Brand, “brand discovery is about figuring out what you want to do for the rest of your life, setting goals, writing down a mission, vision and personal brand statement (what you do and who you serve), as well as creating a development plan.”

Your self-impression = How people perceive you

Now that you know what you want to do and have claimed a niche, at least in your mind, it’s time to get it on paper and online.  Check out some of these terrific ways for getting yourself “out there” and your brand known:

~ Online Business Card

~ Social Media Resume

~ Blog/Website (this site was built on Word Press)

~ Linkedin

Happy Branding!

Do you work full-time and feel unfilled and desire a more rewarding career?

If You Are Working Full-Time And Desire A More Rewarding Career:

Clarify – Where You Are Exactly & Your Passion….. Get clear on what you are passionate about and how you envision your most joyous life.  Additionally, you must know exactly where you are currently as it relates to finances and time.  I’ve seen individuals whom had great gifts jump in too fast only to fail for lack of clarity and awareness.

Determine A Plan For Moving Forward (business set up and marketing plan) – I have personally learned the hard way and now find it to be my purpose to support others using these experiences to gracefully move into fulfilling their purpose.  Keep your excitement and your vision and also stay focused on creating a sound business through well thought out organization, systems, and business strategy.  In many cases, I suggest maintaining your financial stability with your present job (unless you have a sound financial plan with savings to cover your expenditures for up to one year), while you “step-by-step” implement your business.

Find A Balance – Current Reality & Moving Into Desired Purpose…. (time/money) – In my years of coaching individuals on career matters, I have seen the practical matters of time and money as a key element in realizing their personal and professional desires and vision.  When working full-time and looking to transition, obviously it is usually time that is the key variable in consideration.  It is imperative that you think in advance about how to allocate your time consciously to maintain a higher energy and ease and flow in the process.  When one is exhausted it is near impossible to realize the desired results.

Take Action – One Step At A Time (from a well-layed out plan) – The fun part!  Start taking action one step at a time.  However, I’ve come to realize through years of coaching that we as humans for the craziest reason tend to be afraid of our own success and/or due to esteem concerns to really “put ourselves out there.”  SO – having someone to keep you focused on taking action is truly recommended!  Rationalization, procrastination, and more easily can rear their head during the implementation process.  Don’t get stuck in paralysis analysis either.  :>

Transition Fully Into Passion / Purpose – The true realization of your greatest desires and fulfilling your purpose with joy, ease, and abundance.  Focus on taking one step at a time (and being flexible to the changes that inevitably will arise during the process) and you will soon be on your way to the life you’ve always wanted!

For those of you whom have a calling to support others along their healing journey, your energy sets the stage for the support you give.  

This includes many aspects such as self care and nurturing and being connected to your true self and higher energies.  One way that I love to raise my energetic vibration is through music.  As we know, music is an energetic vibration and coupled with powerful words (I believe all words spoken are actually an affirmation particularly if heard repeatedly) and can have a direct effect on your personal energy vibration.

Some of my own personal favorite songs of inspiration are listed in a recent post written on my Holistic Living website.  Enjoy!!

Warmly,
