ABOUT THIS VIDEO

WHAT VANITY?

It amazes me how many clients and would be clients have invested in their “personal brand” before investing in their person… as Myron Golden says “Personal brand is a multiplier.” Let me put my additional thought on that. Personal brand building is not a substitute for substance.

It is impossible to promote, promise and perpetuate nothing. Who cares if you get in front of the greatest crowd of potential buyers and have all the greatest media tools but no content, no credible evidence and no completed product offering?

Ask me how I know the frustration that effort brings.
