Three Steps to Building a Personal Brand

People connect through emotion, and everything is your stage. I try to find two ambassadors a year.  The goal for this is to simply find two ambassadors for your brand that align with your brands values and can organically sell to others. From there, you want each ambassador to find two additional ambassadors. After 20 years of doing this, you would have two million ambassadors. 

So , how do you start? Focus in on one thing: Your first customerThink: what is that frequency? How am I going to connect emotionally to them? The quantitative reasons, impact, and capabilities will all be provided once you connect emotionally

Once you have a frequency, you can test the frequency through your social media. You can post a message or piece of content and see what it attracts.

Once you have a frequency, you can test the frequency through your social media. You can post a message or piece of content and see what it attracts. And if it starts attracting what you want in terms of engagement, hits, click- throughs, comments, or some other measurable way, you can post more content along the same lines.

Original content gives followers insight into your life (and mind), which aids in developing a stronger connection.


Content needs to be:

Consistent - Your audience needs to know what you are going to deliver in terms of content and when you need a consistent product.

Authentic - The truth is what vibrates the fastest, and the more truthful and authentic your message is to you, the better it will resonate with others.


With the pervasiveness of the Internet, with a few clicks of a button you can buy more ads to that content (or you can buy ads for other brand- aligned content with similar emotional appeals or messaging), and you can thus continue to build that brand around consistent messages, themes, and values. In fact, a major part of the process is refining and adjusting the frequency you give off.
