“Becoming known as a thought leader shouldn’t
be your goal. It’s just the icing on the cake of
creating something truly innovative. When
you’re willing to take risks and do things that
are unconventional, you’ll find others in your
industry looking to mimic you and learn from
you, and eventually you may earn the respect
that labels you a thought leader.”

Notas do Editor

  1. It seems like everyone lately is talking about building your personal brand. Often times we begin building something without even really knowing why. “I built a personal brand to blend in with the crowd”... said no one ever. The purpose of your personal brand is not to blend in. It is to STAND OUT. Identify what unique view of the world you are experiencing RIGHT NOW → Capitalize on it to show others the value of your unique perspective and what you can bring to the table.
  2. SEEDING YOUR NETWORK WITH UNIQUE, PURPOSEFUL, AND PERSONAL CONTENT: The 4 C’s of Personal Brand Building—this is something I developed through experimentation with my own personal brand. CURIOSITY—CONTRIBUTION—CONSISTENCY—COMMUNITY
  3. It starts with CURIOSITY—showing a genuine curiosity, interest, and desire to learn from your peers, role models, customers, or others.
  4. CONTRIBUTE——> Once you’ve shown an interest and willingness to learn you have to—PROVE YOUR VALUE by demonstrating that you are not a taker, you are a matcher and that you too have something to CONTRIBUTE Leverage content to share exactly where you are and what you are learning in your journey right now → I do it through writing blogs and video blogging → find a medium with which you are most comfortable and start leveraging content and publishing to contribute to the conversation, being thoughtful and intentional with every communication. (Gary Vaynerchuk talks about this a lot. Supporting your heroes) (Jason Miller is a really great example of someone who is doing this. For example the post on the bottom of the page, entitled—”A B2B Marketer Spends a Month with Snapchat”. I guarantee you there are a lot of people in his position who would not be so transparent about their age and the way they feel about strange new technologies.)
  5. CONSISTENCY: → You must prove to people—both your audience and your role models—that you are reliable, trustworthy, and someone they can depend on and believe. → You build this credibility by demonstrating CONSISTENCY in the way you work, engage, publish, and connect. The fourth and final C is for COMMUNITY: → your role models are one thing, but creating community is different. → A community is a group of people who are all connected through a common purpose, location, preference, interest, or experience. → They’re all focused on participating and helping each other achieve both common and individual goals. → YOU CAN NOT BUILD AN AUDIENCE BEFORE BUILDING A COMMUNITY.
  6. The fourth and final C is for COMMUNITY—your role models are one thing, but creating community is different. A community is a group of people who are all connected through a common purpose, location, preference, or experience. They’re all focused on participating and helping each other achieve their goals. You have to build community before you can acquire an audience. Here are some examples of how Alex and I are living out the 4 C’s— → #Marketing probz is an initiative I started to discuss the challenges people face connecting and engaging with others in the digital age. → Each week people submit challenges they are facing in their careers or in building their brands to my #MarketingProbz google sheet. → Then I address these problems and open up discussions for possible solutions through my #MarketingProbz videos on YouTube and Snapchat. Alex is doing something similar with the Millennial Minute by creating a conversation around the generational differences in millennials vs. those who came before us.
