Wade Alters | Founder of WadeAlters.com

~ Current Series ~

The more I learn about personal brands the more I like the idea of the business model. Almost any entrepreneur or high-profile person that starts to share his or her knowledge with the world almost instantaneously creates a personal brand. In fact, I would even argue that most entrepreneurs have a personal brand already, even if they are low-profile and still just working in the day-to-day of their business.  We all have a personal brand in some fashion. Today's guest is Wade Alters and we get to chat with him about building his personal brand over the past 6-years into a 7-figure location independent business. Wade shares about starting out as a dating coach and then moving away from that into the personal brand space, the mindset of a successful personal branded business and the resistance that many people have around personal branding. If you are thinking about personal branding or have a personal brand already, this episode is for you...and a head’s up. We broke up Wade’s interview into two episodes and his second episode will be published tomorrow!

Part I:

02:42: Why Wade Chooses Santa Monica, California As a Base?

05:07: Who is Wade Alters?

11:08: Starting Out in the Dating Industry

16:40: Creating a Personal Brand

21:04: Resistance for Creating a Personal Brand

Part II:

02:06: Who We Fear When We Start a Personal Brand?
