Curious Questions
Question: “What makes a good personal brand?”
Personal branding has emerged as a crucial component of professional development. A strong personal brand can help you find new chances and advance your career.
But what characteristics define a strong personal brand? We’ll look at the essential elements of creating a strong personal brand.
The essential elements of your personal brand
Authenticity: Be authentic about who you are and what you represent. Readers can spot the difference.
Clarity: Create a clear and consistent message. You likely have your favourite accounts for things that interest you, such as sports or news. They have a consistent and clear message. Do that.
Consistency: Be consistent across all platforms and interactions.
Ensure you curate the message on each platform. Each platform has a different user and mindset.
Vision: Have a clear vision and mission, and align them with your goals and values.
Versatility: A good personal brand should be versatile and adaptable, able to evolve as you grow and change.
Theme: Create a colour scheme, pick fonts, and design a logo, banner, and bio for each platform you create. Use the same theme on each platform. People will come to recognize these.
It may be worthwhile researching colours, as each colour triggers different emotions.
Value: The number one element that will ultimately decide your fate is the value of your content. Value doesn’t necessarily mean informative; value means the content resonates. Perhaps, your value is being funny; how funny you are will ultimately decide your ability to prosper. Assuming you are implementing all of the elements on the list.
This list is the philosophy behind your personal brand. There are lots of tools and strategies available to action these.
Here are some of the tools I am currently using for content creation and implementation

Atomic Habits By James Clear
9/10
Very Actionable
Must Read & ReRead
Overview
Atomic Habits explores the idea that good and bad habits shape our lives and influence our success. By breaking down habits into tiny, manageable actions, we can create an upward spiral of improvement in our lives. The book covers key concepts such as habit stacking, the aggregation of marginal gains, and the impact of identity on habit formation. The book is filled with practical advice and real-life examples.
Quotes
“Small habits, repeated consistently over time, lead to remarkable results.”
“The most effective way to change a habit is to join an environment where the desired behaviour is the normal behaviour.”
“Every action you take is a vote for the type of person you wish to become.”
“The key to making a successful change is to join a community where the desired behaviour is the normal behaviour.”
“The goal is not to be perfect, the goal is to be better.”
Takeaways
I’ve read this book a few times, and it hits hard each time. I take a new lesson each time.
A) The concept that you don’t raise to the level of your goals; you fall to the level of your systems really resonated with me. What processes and systems you have in place to achieve the goals you want are far more important than the goal itself.
Example: If you want a clean car, removing 1 item that doesn’t belong each and every time you leave the car is a process to achieve the goal. Wanting a clean car is great, but what process will you implement to achieve it?
B) The final main takeaway was the concept of doing actions based on the person you want to be. I want to write more, so when making decisions, I can ask myself, what would a writer do? And over time, you build the habits of a writer.

Weekly Tips
You don’t need any fancy equipment to get started. The quality you can achieve with headphones is pretty impressive. However, you’ll want to find a quiet place with limited distractions.
The benefit of getting a mixer and professional mic isn’t necessarily the improved audio because it truly is incremental on Twitter; it’s because it allows you can record your spaces on your own device to easily repurpose, program your own sound effects and have input volume control.
If those reasons are appealing, then upgrading your equipment is something to consider.
