4 things you can do to ignite your brand...

"Whole Living" posted this article  4 Things You Can do Now to Ignite Your Brand. I was a bit uneasy when I first read it as I found it difficult to respond to the statements. After some thought, however, I came up with these answers...

1.  Define Who You Are
"...The question is… what do people think when they hear your name?  At the end of the day, how you are perceived is the foundation of your success."
I think I am thought of as someone who works to grow and improve. I truly strive to be a better person, worker, mom, friend, and wife each and every day.
2.  Get On A Mission
"...What is your mission in life? Why are you here? What is your message? What are the gifts and talents you possess that can be poured into your products, blogs, website, presentations, projects, reports, books? This is all part of branding – taking who you are at your core and making a difference through what you do. "
My mission is to let the people that I love know that they are important and loved and cared about through my words and actions. I don't believe one should "assume" people know how you feel.
3.  Look The Part Your Play
"...So, make sure what you look like on the outside is a true reflection of who you are on the inside. Give people the real you at-a-glance."
On the outside, I strive to look together and relaxed and pretty. And yes, I did say "pretty" not because I am vane, but because I think that when you feel good about how you look; your inner self feels good and you are balanced.
4.  Tell Your Greatest Story
".... Now is the time to talk about the things you are really passionate about and what you believe in."
I believe that every person should be validated and respected for who they are and that no one should be judged. We are all, after all, just human with unique needs and thoughts and feelings.

Can you define your "Brand"?
