Everyone must learn to market themselves. It is your goal to make them want you. The best way to market oneself is through a well-built brand.

Your brand is an external representation of what you represent. What compilation of skills, character attributes, values and beliefs  distinctly identify you. What is your reason or purpose.  It is that which sets you apart from all others.

You are a walking billboard. Everything you do, partake in, participate in, watch, or read defines who you are in all your individual complexity. These external displays are the signals, that those external to your person, use to  determine who you are? Such observances are also used to measure congruity (alignment of self and actions).

Is what you represent in action and deed (your brand) in alignment with whom you proclaim to be.  What do people say about you when you leave the room?

Do you have integrity

Integrity is a trait where a persons actions are in alignment with what they proclaim. They are who they say they are. They can be counted on to do what they say they will do. They do not invest in counterfeit branding, they are the real deal. Integrity is a necessary component of longevity in success.

Many people have failed on this level. Despite all their hard work and efforts, they do not build a brand (external marketable representation of themselves). They are thus unmarketable. Thus, they are rejected time and time again or,often the last to be considered.

this can be contributed to a lack of knowledge. It can also be attributed to inattentiveness or callousness. Some simply don’t pay attention and others simply don’t care.

inattentiveness to the activities one immerses him or herself in (specifically misaligned activities), can  lend the observer to paint  ill-fitting images, thus branding one as an undesirable candidate.

What one is lacking in knowledge one can recover from seeking instruction and understanding.

Always be aware of what you do, where you go, what you say, who you are around. Do not engage in anything that does not align with the image or brand you are trying to build.

When looking to achieve, ascertain a position, or a goal, you have to prove your worth and value.  That burden falls upon you. Remember people want to know what they are getting before they invest in you. If you do not know who you are or what you represent, then you have already failed. 

If you do not know what you stand for, represent, value, or believe start your quest for discovery today. The time to build for success is always now.

If what you are doing is not in alignment with who you proclaim to be cease from indulgence.

actions speak louder than words. It’s not merely your words that define you but all those things which surround you.
