Interesting post Mike. Things to examine and consider in our upward climb. At the bottom of the hill we all seem to chase scraps from the table. Hopefully, as we gain traction and momentum in establishing a real brand, we can be more selective and discerning about preserving it. Experiential insight with prudent advice.

Hi Mike

I guess this is true and you have said it very well. but again brand without strategy is difficult to manage. The Personality of the brand manager is crucial because your values determine your approach to your personal brand and that of the organization your are heading. Your cannot successfully manage someone's company brand without knowing how to manage your own brand.

Thanks

Great post Mike and especially to many of us who have not experienced a great level of success or notoriety. Many of us are victims of our own over-branding and actually have little to offer. Only the mature and those who have a measure of success truly learn the niche to proper branding. Most of us have mismanaged ourselves and have become victims of our own undoings. I can say this has happened to me due to my own selfish ambition and lack of experience. Time and reality has zapped me into a better perspective, but at times I still over-tweet or something similar thinking I have something significant to say. I enjoy reading your blogs because they offer insight that unlocks truth.

Mike. I applaud your comments in the last paragraph. All those followers and connections don't really have meaning except to make one feel important and/or popular. Social media makes it all too easy to fall into the over-exposure mode. And then the cynic in me emerges. We have all been the victim of somebody's saved up tweets-all blasting out at one time. Why do these people think I'll read tweet after tweet after tweet. It's like verbal diarrhea.

So you are right on. Manage your brand judiciously. If you are going to say something, make it worth reading and listening to. Otherwise, it's just alot of noise. And there is enough of that around already.

You, of course, are the exception:)
