Whether some people accept it or not, all individuals have a personal brand. It is those unique characteristics that make you, YOU – unique and outstanding in your own right. A personal brand is who you are and what you decide you want to be known for beyond how other people perceive you to be. As such, building a personal brand has to take a moment from you to define who you really are and who you do not want to become because like it or not, it also includes your weaknesses as a person. If you desire to make some adjustments to work on your weaknesses then, this is something you can do for self-improvement to be able to function more favorably with family, friends, and colleagues. But why do you have to work on a personal brand and why is it such an important endeavor in this time and age?
