marketing is the art and science of managing perception — if we don’t do it for ourselves (our personal brand) we have no one to blame but ourselves, and how can our clients (or boss) trust us to build their brands?

I have been dealing with this issue myself. I'm naturally introverted, so sometimes it takes extra energy for me to "work the room." Yet, I've noticed that when I do, things work out very well. I know I've been blessed with gifts and talents, but my mentality (in the past) has been to "build and wait." As a result, I've had a measure of success, but not to the level that is needed. By making changes, recently, more opportunities are opening up to put my production, speaking/teaching and writing skills into practice.</p> <p> Your post paints a vivid picture to help me and others "get it" and to be able to step out further in faith. There are many, like myself, who deal with the issue of not wanting to be a shameless promotor of themselves. Posts like this one helps us to better discern the difference. There is a balance that seperates shameless promotion from a genuine establishing of a strong reputation. It does take a proactive approach to make an impact in the lives of others. Thanks again for this clear illustration.</p> Allen Paul Weaver III author, Transition: Breaking Through the Barriers www.allenpaulweaveriii.com www.transitionunleashed.com THANK YOU PHIL!

The 'product' quality is important, but if know one knows about it, knows the story or even hears about it, what good will it do? All of these pieces have to fall into place.

Thanks again and God bless!

I'll add that attitude is important too. If you don't see, feel, and act like your story, it will never<em> really</em> matter. It's good to create a story, but a true story will always last.
