You see, there is a flavor to each of these traits.
It is how each person approaches life, grows, builds a business, communicates, etc.
And if you can be intentional about it, it's how you build a personal brand.
I see these traits as “here are the best ingredients for a delicious cake.”
But you get to decide what kind of cake, the flavor, the icing, decorations, and the presentation. It’s what makes the cake interesting, relevant and desirable.?
You can choose the default flavor. Or you can be intentionally different, fun, or edgy.?
Being intentional about your personal brand not only makes you more interesting, it brings awareness to your purpose, your bigger why, and your potential to make a difference in people’s lives.
P.S. Stay tuned for my new podcast, The Results Driven Life by Design, where I have conversations with people who have discovered the flavor of their cake and how it is making a difference in the world.
