I have delayed this moment for so long but I can't hold it back anymore.
I created this medium account to teach you everything I know about personal branding.
This means that I won't hide anything from you( except my excessive love for turkey 🦃).
The question of the day is
What does it takes to stand out as a Personal Brand?.
I don't want to let the cat out of the bag just yet.
That's why you have to read till the end to find out the full gist by yourself.
Let's go on.
A well-crafted personal brand is the foundation of a successful, fulfilling life. It's the key to unlocking doors of opportunity.
In my 107 days on Twitter I have studied and work with people who have built successful personal brands. I have personal connection with great brands like Kenny Nwokoye, Greg Lunt and Janet Machuka.
In a few minute I would be sharing with you what set them apart and what you can learn from them.
Let’s start by taking a look at what personal brand attribute is, and then dive into the seven traits that successful brands share.
What Are Personal Brand Attributes?.
Personal brand attributes are the qualities that define you as an individual and make you stand out. They’re your unique superpowers and the ways in which you differentiate yourself.
7 Hidden Attributes I discovered from Successful Personal Brands
While no two brands are alike, the most compelling and successful personal brands I have met share these 7 core attributes:
1. They are confident
We're drawn to the glamor of confidence. It's the magnetic core of a personal brand.
We find inspiration in those who effortlessly embody confidence, who walk their unique path with unwavering authenticity. True confidence arises from embracing one's unapologetic self.
More importantly, confidence has a ripple effect. Reputable personal brands ignite a fire of confidence among those in their circle.
2. They are generous
While the term “personal branding” might sound like it’s all about you. Effective personal branding is about making your mark by being present, approachable, and indispensable to others.
Those with strong personal brands are generous with praise and know how to make people feel valued. They are more than willing to share their advice and expertise to support those around them.
3. They have a purpose
Reputable personal Brands are guided by a clear sense of purpose, which not only direct their actions but also draws like-minded individuals who share their values and beliefs.
People don’t buy what you do; they buy why you do it. If you talk about what you believe, you will attract those who believe what you believe.
4. Creativity and Resourcefulness
Individuals that have built reputable personal brands extend their horizons beyond their present accomplishments. While they are committed to doing their best work in any position, they also want to be influential in other spheres.
This entails active participation in various projects and forging connections with individuals across social media, all aimed at elevating their online presence to new heights.
They are known outside of their niche and respected for their expertise and point of view.
5. They’re lifelong learners
Just doing well in their current position isn’t enough. Individuals that are seriously building their personal brands understand that continuous and purposeful learning is their passport to staying at the forefront.
They seize each moment to acquire knowledge, fueling their curiosity across every dimension of their field and are always looking to expand their knowledge and skill set.
6. They are ambitious
They look beyond the present by consistently exceeding current expectations while keeping a vigilant eye on the horizon.
Reputable Personal brands thrive on authenticity with a forward-thinking mentality. It's about being yourself while strategically positioning for the future.
Strong personal brands not only excel in the present but are poised and enthusiastic for the next significant opportunity.
7. They are curious
A thriving personal brand is a captivating blend of fascination and curiosity. Those who display this power are relentless questioners, masterful conversationalists, and avid seekers of knowledge.
This curiosity help them build a deeper and more authentic relationships. It also fuels an insatiable hunger for conquering fresh challenges, all while embracing the joy of learning along the way.
For you to develop your personal brand you need to take a deep dive and discover your exceptional strengths, the qualities that set you apart in a crowd. It's an exploration of the six key drivers: your core values, burning passions, distinctive traits, supercharged abilities, profound purpose, and future aspirations."
After doing my research these are the key attributes I discovered among reputable personal Brands in the world.
That would be all for today.
