Alex Mathers

For many years I had no idea who I was online.

I would throw things at the wall and see what stuck.

This can be helpful, but it wasn’t until I got clear about what kind of brand I was building that I became more intentional and started getting the attention of my ideal people.

Without a personal brand, our actions are confused, and our followers are also confused.

To grow a loyal following, we need to know what brand we are building.

Here are the key elements of a standout personal brand:

1. Understanding why a personal brand is critical.

If you have a way to serve people, you need a personal brand to stand out.

Your brand is what you represent to the tribe that follow you and buy from you.

2. Knowing your Kryptonite.

Your greatest weaknesses, struggles and failures reveal a lot.

We’re also learning that plants contain a range of anti-nutrients that screw with your gut and restrict absorption of the minerals you think you’re getting chomping on kale.

What?! This has to be something of a reverse psychology.
If not- makes me want to doubt everything else you’ve written.
