There is a five step process to brand yourself online.

Step 1 – You need to find your niche.  You may already know that or you may need to ask some questions of yourself to figure that.  What’s your passion in life? That is a great way to figure it out.

Step 2 – What is your brand? Who are you? What makes you different?

Step 3 – Develop Your Brand. Get photos. You may already have them. Get the look just right.

Step 4 – Implement Your Brand. Get online. Create your website and social profiles that match.

Step 5 – Cash cow it. Milk your brand. Or think exit strategy or franchise it.

I’ll be co-leading a free webinar on Thursday at 9:30pm where we expound on this.  Come join us.

Branding Yourself Online

From Steve Jobs of Apple. So so true.

Chris and Janet Attwood are probably the most knowledgeable, most impressive, and most practical experts I know on what it takes to discover and live your passions.

You may have heard me talk about their extraordinary book, The Passion Test. Within two weeks of its release in hardcover it was a New York Times bestseller.

The Passion Test is a tour de force–a fast track path to turn on and up the passion, the excitement, the success in your life–for you, your loved ones, your friends and your associates. It has been used and recommended by some of the people I most respect . . . people like Jack Canfield, Jay Abraham, John Gray, Marci Shimoff, and Harv Eker.

The Passion Test has been lauded and used to profound and life changing value for so many thousands of people that we would be remiss if we didn’t make this available to you.

But in addition, Plume, the publisher of The Passion Test, is releasing the paperback edition of The Passion Test today, on International Passion Day.

This day is a chance for each of us to reflect on how much richer and happier your life will be when you become more passionate, more stimulated, more turned on about your life, your relationships, your work, your possibilities.

Reflection is good, but Chris and Janet have set a high and laudatory goal which I hope we can help them achieve: to inspire at least five million people to take action to follow their passions and begin living their life purpose.

They are asking all of us: How can you follow your passions to serve another today?

To that end, Chris and Janet have gone to great effort and expense to create an eye-opening movie presentation to tantalize you and celebrate International Passion Day.

Go check out the promotion of The Passion Test. If you are so moved, then I urge you to get a copy of the book, and everyone reading this, whether you buy the book or not, if you trust my judgment and what I stand for, then please heed what I am about to say:

Take the time to review the wonderful promotion of the book, but then scroll down the page to “Passion Day Movie” and take four minutes to watch this remarkable video presentation. It will inspire and uplift you, and it will also provoke you to think about where you are in your life, and where you could be.

Do you know what you are passionate about? Or are you like Jack Canfield, co-creator of Chicken Soup for the Soul who said:

“”When I did the work on discovering your passion with Chris and Janet . . . I wasn’t expecting that much to happen because I am already living my passion . . . However, their powerful process took me to an even deeper place, where I realized I was not spending enough time with my true number one passion — my family! That realization,
and the other work they did with me, has changed the way I have lived the past year.”

Today is International Passion Day. Take time to today to discover your passions and then take action to serve another.

Whether you think you know your passions or not, the best way I know to discover and renew them is with The Passion Test. Be sure to get your copy of the paperback today and get in on all the International Passion Day goodies.

P.P.S. Here is what a few people you may know have said about The Passion Test:

Do you hate your job?  Many many people do.  It is incredible common.  I use to hate my job.  My quality of work went way way down and people starting noticing and not in a good way.  Fortunately I had a business that took off so I quit before they fired me.  Even if you spent four or five years in college and you find out that as soon as you have a full-time job in your field of choice that you don’t like it, make a change before you get a reputation for sucking.

You spend too much of your life working to settle for a job that does not inspire you. Dissatisfaction leads to apathy, which in turn leads to escapism. When you do not feel engaged in your own life, you find other outlets to help you try to cope. These things could be as innocuous as becoming consumed by the Internet or by playing endless hours of video games, or they could become as serious as drug or alcohol addiction, or heavy gambling.You know you are in danger when you begin engaging in activities that either allows you to forget your responsibilities or that provides a temporary and false sense of well-being. Many people who have become apathetic have fallen into the traps of addiction and errant social behaviors. Make necessary, important changes in your life before you find yourself pulled into that same trap, trying to escape the drudgery of your daily life because you lack inspiration from your work.

Dealing With a Career You Simply Hate

John Singh interviewed Richard Branson on starting a business.  Richard gives some excellent advice.

Here is a portion of a terrific interview. Link below go to full interview.

Ideally, since 80 percent of your life is spent working, you should start your business around something that is a passion of yours. If you’re into kite-surfing and you want to become an entrepreneur, do it with kite-surfing.

Look, if you can indulge in your passion, life will be far more interesting than if you’re just working. You’ll work harder at it, and you’ll know more about it. But first you must go out and educate yourself on whatever it is that you’ve decided to do – know more about kite-surfing than anyone else. That’s where the work comes in. But if you’re doing things you’re passionate about, that will come naturally.
