Overview of Personal Branding!

Personal branding is the process of creating a brand identity for a person or a company. As the name suggests, this is a brand for you or your business. Essentially, it is how you project your brand and its values to the world and ensure that your target audience knows who you are, what you stand for, and why it’s worth choosing you over your competitors. Personal branding is not just about marketing but about being your marketer. It is about standing for yourself and your business to command respect and confidence from your peers and customers.

It is the conscious and intentional effort to create and influence public perception of an individual.

It is a process of positioning them as an authority in their industry, elevating their credibility, and differentiating themselves from the competition. The goal of Personal Branding is to advance an individual’s career, increase their circle of influence, and have a more considerable impact.

Many leading entrepreneurs have risen to be even bigger personal brands than their business brands, that’s the kind of difference personal branding can bring about.
