The latest blog, titled “Personal Branding: What is Your Story?” was posted on October 13, 2010, on JW’s website, http://www.JWDicks.com. The post includes the following excerpt:

One of the hardest things for people to do when focusing on creating a personal brand is opening themselves up to others and letting your market see who you are – the good and the bad! Most of us fear rejection until we come to realize that we will never please everyone.  Once we understand this and focus on the people that accept us as we are, we will be able to help more people in the long run.  The more open you are, the stronger you’re relationship will be with your customer.  They will trust you more and be more willing to do business with you and recommend you to others.

The best way to begin to “open yourself up” to your market is to tell your story.  Why do you do what you do? Just like a new relationship, your story is the building blocks of who you are and in turn, what you have to offer that is unique.  Being able to convey this message effectively could be the catalyst to building a solid personal brand.
