Do You Need A Personal Brand To Build A Successful Business?


Listen Later

It feels like everywhere you look online, content creators and influencers are telling business owners they need to build a personal brand.

But there are thousands of successful businesses without personal brands behind them, so why does everyone talk about personal branding like it’s essential?

In this week’s episode, I’m taking you behind the scenes on my own personal branding journey.

I recently had with Chris Do (The Futur), where we got into the truth about what personal branding really means and at what point should creatives consider building theirs.

I also share insights from another conversation I had with James Martin (Made By James), who had a very different take, that might make you rethink how you see personal branding.

If you’ve ever felt conflicted, or unclear about personal branding, this episode will help you find an approach that works for you.

Covered in this episode:

  • What is a personal brand?
  • And do creative business owners need one?
  • Where to start with building a personal brand.
  • Why personal brands might not be as ‘authentic’ as they claim.
  • Why people misunderstand personal branding.
  • And more…
