Hi, I'm Mike Cuevas to real estate marketing. And this podcast is all about building a strong personal brand people have come to know, like trust and most importantly, refer. But remember, it is not their job to remember what you do for a living. It's your job to remind them. Let's get started. What's up, ladies and gentlemen, welcome to their episode of the real estate marketing dude, podcast, folks, what we're going to be chatting about today is not bringing on a guest, we're gonna be doing a little bit of training and coaching during this podcast. So if you are sitting down, I'm gonna have a little bit of exercises for you today. But what we're focusing on is, does what people think about you really matter? And this is something that, you know, I see quite a bit like, in for me, too, you know, if you guys listen this podcast for a while, you might not think I'm a very shy, or I really care what anyone else's opinions are of Me. But the reality is they do. And, you know, sometimes when you get out there, and you put yourself out there, you might get some hateful stuff in return, you might have some people talk crap about you, or some people say some things that are going to hurt your feelings.

And that's normal to think that way. Guys, we're human. I mean, that's how human beings think it's a natural reaction. But what, when you really grasp what it is you stand for, and you really identify your brand. You don't think twice about posting that content, right. And this is the importance of really dialing in your brand, your brand strategy and creating content, because it is very hard. If you don't have a strategy in place with why you're creating content in the first place. Well, it's very hard to get yourself out there to begin with, and then to do it consistently, because over time, it'll eventually die. And if you are planning to build a brand, you have to create content, you have to create content in today's age, to build a brand. I mean,
