The Future Belongs to Creators Should You Be a “Personal Brand” as Well as a Person?
It can be difficult to walk the line between being a normal person and a brand. There’s a lot of introspection and thought that goes into how you want to present yourself to the world, and if you don’t have a plan ahead of time, it can add additional stress and frustration to your life as a creator.
In this episode, Nathan is joined by Charli Prangley to talk about the pros and cons of developing your personal brand and how to decide how much you want to share.
Main Takeaways
- People become interested in who you are if you’re a personal brand. Sometimes this can lead to feeling less secure, but there are steps you can take to minimize personal risk.
- It can be difficult at times to not let your very existence be part of “work” if you are your brand. Find time to turn it off.
- To be successful, you have to choose how much of yourself you want to share. Ask yourself what your self-brand would look like and how much you want to share.
- Don’t self-sabotage. It can be easy to doubt yourself or your own success.
