if you don't STAND FOR SOMETHING,
you'll fall for anything….

it's a risk to STAND OUT in the corporate world, but you'll be better off without a boss anyways.

the most prominent personal brands represent a lifestyle, a way of life, a way of doing business, a way of working, a way of doing what they do…

While typical brands are "liked" some brands are more brash… in fact, they are proud that not everybody likes them: think Howard Stern or even O'Reilly.

Again, this is risky with a job. But life is risky with a job.

Penelope!

I love your blog!

Might I suggest a small "tweak" to what you are saying in your blog?

When you say, "Know What People Think of You", I would suggest changing it to… "Know What The Right People Think of You".

I'm 36. Gen X. If you are busy worrying about what everyone thinks of you, you may be trying to please everyone. I can't tell you how many people out there who don't fit their job. They hate their job. They are in an emotional "down" because of it. They aren't easily pleased and in the end – they aren't "players" in their work anyways. Why bother with the "wrong" people?

Know what I mean?

Been there… Done that.

what was it I heard…
Whether you know it or not, you already have a brand
-Others have determined your brand for you.

Once you think of it that way, you realize the importance of building your own brand.

I speak and train on the power of building a network and having a personal brand. I often present at large corporations or law firms, and many of those in the audience pooh-pooh (yes, I just said "pooh-pooh") the importance of devoting the time to creating a personal brand and being "a little bit famous" in your industry or business community.

But if you look around at people who are offered amazing jobs, it is not because they were picked at random or someone thought they looked interesting on Monster.com. The amazing opportunities come into our lives from people we have already known and who know our work.

Penelope, if everyone in the world would just listen to us and take our advice….ahhhhhhh, it would be a nice place, yes?
