You're trying to establish your personal brand. How can you find a mentor who can help you?

?? What do you really want from a personal branding mentor? Where would you like them to take you? Once you know where you want to go, you are in a better position to find that perfect mentor. If you are still unsure in certain areas of your brand, you will want a mentor with the expertise to help. But even more importantly, you probably want a mentor who walks the talk. In their own personal brand, and through the clients and followers whose brands they have helped to build. The ultimate quest is that your mentor should resonate with you. If you will be working together closely, you also need good chemistry. It all begins with the goals you envision for your personal brand.

Depending on your seniority level, start by looking at the type of legacy you want to leave. That is a wonderful vision to have in your mind’s eye to inform your brand voice and thought leadership position. Thinking “what would that person do in this situation? What would she say? How would she interact?” Know the type of personality your brand will have and aim to work closely with someone who understands this and can guide you to embody this in as authentic way as possible

Speak to someone who you believe is on the way to establishing a personal brand. Don't speak to someone who has already established a well recognized personal brand as they may not relate to newbie challenges anymore.

To find a mentor who can help establish your personal brand, start by networking within your industry or community. Attend events, workshops, or seminars where experienced professionals gather. Utilize social media platforms like LinkedIn to connect with individuals who inspire you. Be proactive in reaching out and expressing your admiration for their work, asking if they would be willing to mentor you. Additionally, consider joining mentorship programs offered by professional organizations or universities. Be clear about what you hope to gain from the mentorship and show genuine interest in learning from their experiences.

Was sind deine Ziele? Wo m?chtest du hin und in was genau m?chest du besser werden? Ohne klare, SMART-definierte Ziele ist es schwierig, einen Mentor zu finden.

I always like to look at creators who are where I would like to be in a year from now and not 10 years from now Different age groups and life stages require different mentors I will 100% work differently with a mentor closer in my age than someone who is 20 years older than me for example I also think aiming too high is setting yourself up for expectations and maybe even a level of experience you're not ready for yet. Since we grow as we age, I also think it's important to outgrow mentors and find new ones as we go throughout the course of our careers The mentor I have at 26 is NOT the same one I'll have at 46.

Wenn du deine Ziele SMART definiert hast, schau dich in den sozialen Medien um. Wer bietet Content an, der für dich zielführend ist. Sprich mit Menschen aus der Community, ob dieser Content ihnen geholfen hat und konsumiere den Content selbst.

Interagiere mit deinem Mentor, schreib ihm / ihr und baue eine Verbindung auf. Kommentiere jeden Beitrag, stelle fragen, gehe in Lives, Webinare und Co. Werde aktiv und sichtbar!

Bau eine Beziehung zu deinem Mentor auf. Erfolgreiche Menschen helfen gerne - immer! Nur m?chten Sie natürlich ihre Zeit nicht verschwenden. Was kannst du deinem Mentor geben. Wo bist du vielleicht besser? Passt ihr menschlich zusammen? Teilt ihr die selben Werte? Finde Gemeinsamkeiten und fang an die Beziehung zu st?rken.

Setze das Wissen aus dem Content, den Freebies, usw. direkt um. Wenn ihr in Kontakt steht, ist es deine Aufgabe dir gute Fragen zu überlegen und mit den Antworten zu arbeiten. Kauf den Kurs, buche das Seminar, geh in die Mastermind. Lerne und wende das Wissen sofort an!

A mentor can provide valuable insights and guidance for your personal brand development, but your willingness to learn, adapt, and take action is essential for success. Stay open-minded, proactive, and reflective, and be prepared to measure and celebrate your growth along the way.

I’ve found when establishing your personal brand, finding out how others perceive you is extremely helpful. Sometimes the feedback whether positive or negative can help you to change your approach or style to build the personal brand you desire. It can be difficult to get a straight answer about yourself when asking your manager directly, especially if the feedback is negative, in that case you can glean your reputation from your managers colleagues who may have heard about you from your manager and any challenges they feel they are having with you in your role. A lot of times perception is reality and if your brand is perceived as difficult or uncompromising, knowing that gives you an opportunity to change it.
