S3/Ep2 What Most Personal Brands Are Missing — Why Diving Deep & Getting Personal Matters
Just like building a home, to craft an authentically aligned personal brand we have to start with the EXCAVATION — digging deep to unearth and come to know the parts of ourselves that we may have neglected. This is where we start to get PERSONAL leaning on tools and resources to support us on our journeys of cultivating more awareness.
In this episode, I share my personal journey with discovering “self help”, how it’s impacted my life and the need for this intimate inquiry when it comes to building a brand. Before we even consider what our logo looks like, what our services should be or how our sales funnel is structured, we have to come to *truly* KNOW ourselves.
Topics Discussed:
• My journey with personal development
• Identifying “triggers” in other people as clues to understand Self
• How to leverage personal development to know yourself deeper
• The good, bad and ugly side of the self help space
• When is diving deep too much?
• Why (and how) getting more personal can support your brand & business
• A simple prompt to take inventory of your current life season
Journal Prompts Mentioned:
01. Make a list of individuals who “trigger” you — both from a place of inspiration and jealousy. Who do you look up to? Who are you envious of? What might these triggers “reflect” back to you about your Self?
02. If the 8 year old version of you could see you now in this season of your life, what would he/she think?
03. The Wheel of Life: Take inventory of your life in this season and rate (1-10) where you feel you are at in each of the following categories: health / wellness, relationships (family / friends / romantic), spirituality / growth, home / environment, play / fun. What feels in alignment? What doesn’t? If you could dream into the most expansive version of your life in each category, what would that look like?
