A Brand You're Familiar With When considering branding in general, think of how a particular product has influenced you. For example, when you think coffee, you think Starbucks. Starbucks didn't invent coffee; they created an experience around the process of drinking coffee, they differentiated themselves. Companies have been branding themselves and their products for a long time. They have been influencing how people perceive them all along. Why not you? Your PB is about telling your story, appealing to someone's emotional side, and promoting yourself in a completely authentic way. Your brand should make a connection with people. Use it to separate yourself from the crowd. As you begin to consider your personal brand, it is important, in fact vital to be authentic. This is the key to making the emotional connection with the right people.
