Being indispensable and your personal brand -

Being indispensable and your personal brand - Dan Schawbel is one of the authorities on the topic of personal branding, particularly for the Millennial generation. I am happy to serve as a co-editor of Personal Branding Magazine, along with Jessica Lewis. The new, free sample issue is available. This is how Dan describes it: Summary: Volume 3, Issue 3 is about becoming so important to your company, your customers and the people around you, that they cant live without you. When that occurs, youll be making more money, have better relationships and wield a powerful personal brand. In this issue, Seth Godin reveals his hope for career revolutionaries who want to remain relevant in a world that is being transformed by the internet. Also, in this issue we explore how Guy Fieri has built his personal brand as a television personality on the food network and how NFL football player Jarvis Green has taken the leap into entrepreneurship. Here is my introduction to the magazine: Becoming indispensable a tall order to be sure. Is it the proverbial golden ring an admirable ambition, but always out of reach? This issue of Personal Branding Magazine may convince you that there are many ways to be indispensable and that it is an achievable goal for anyone with courage and determination, both of which are key for success. Seth Godin reminds us that one big hurdle is having enough guts to be criticized. True enough; it is tough to be remarkable without remarking! You may be surprised to learn that becoming indispensable is not all about you! Seth reminds us that the most important consideration is not about how to promote yourself. Instead, ask, How can I do work that people will want to promote? So true, and something many forget when trying to make a name for themselves. This issue makes it clear that being indispensable means giving more than you expect to receive. Develop what Nicole Crimaldi describes as a personal balance sheet. She advises, Build relationships, follow your passionsand create value for others in everything you do. Actualizing that value helps you carve out another important piece of the puzzle engendering confidence. Contributor Maria Elana Duron points out, Even if you have the best mousetrap in the world, if people dont know you or like you and trust you, then theyre not going to do business with you. Period. Well said. Be someone people WANT to know. Offer useful resources, advice and insights. You may be surprised by how far good content, well shared, will take you on your road to becoming indispensable.
