At what point can you not concern yourself with personal branding and the perception you are giving others about you? Never? It would seem tiring to continuously consciously brand yourself. Would you say that after a while it becomes natural? Or should it be natural from the start?

Justin — I wouldn’t say that I have a “plan” or a set of rules that I’ve written. I think it’s more just internal disciplines I’m cognitive of. But writing things out doesn’t hurt, it just depends on how you “work”.

The key is to stay inspired and know that the investment can and will pay off. Be yourself, be yourself and be yourself. With a world of so many great people, it’s easy to try to adopt “someone else” and their persona. Be who you are. If you truly are passionate about the area you’re producing content/blogging about — it will show.

Wow. That’s what i call service, i

I think this is a great starting point too – helping define and communicate the personal brand concept and its relevancy to professional growth and development.

The thing I am curious about is do you have your very own marketing plan or brand positioning statement? This sounds kind of out there, but its something I keep in the back of my mind – I actually use this post as a reference point for my blog entries:

So, do you have a plan? or just ask yourself ,”Does this post or image support what I want to be known for”? or maybe you have pre-determined themes or “keywords” that you’re going to blog about?

Great post, Ramsey. This topic always makes me think of the skill with which Sam Clemens built the Mark Twain brand. Thanks for sharing your thoughts.

Excellent thoughts here, I’d suggest that personal branding is beyond just associations and images, but also will include concepts, relationships, events, and thoughts!

That’s some insightful and thought-provoking stuff. It’s probably more relevant to someone named Ramsey Mohsen than it is to someone named Joe Smith – common names dilute the brand, at least in the internet world. Much less so in real world interactions.
