Let’s look at consistency in a wider context. Instead of asking, “How consistent have I been this week?” Try asking, “How consistent have I been this year?” In today's episode, I am talking about consistency: how I’ve managed to stay consistent with exercise, nutrition, and content creation for my personal brand. And how you can, too.
Read MoreThere are four important habits you MUST develop if you want to build a successful personal brand and gain traction on social media. If you’re already practicing them, I’m willing to bet that personal branding will come very naturally for you. If you aren’t, there’s good news: you’ve still got time. The catch is… you have to be self-aware enough to know which parts of yourself are weaker and underdeveloped.
Read MoreI was standing in the kitchen at a fourth of July party when I asked someone… “Any advice for a new runner?” The guy just looks at me and goes, “Start running.” I laughed, a little embarrassed by my question. Duh, of course the answer was to start running. What else would it be? It got me thinking though… People ask me the same question (different, but the same). “How do I start creating content for my personal brand?”
Read MoreI struggled with depression a few months ago, and today I'm sharing how I got out of it. I also talk about dating without dating apps, and meeting someone interesting at Silent Disco. Also, I am going on a road trip tomorrow. I like this episode, it's a personal one. Enjoy!

Read MoreWhat is a visual identity? We define it as a cohesive collection of graphical elements that are chosen intentionally to bring your personal brand to life. The purpose of a visual identity is to create an emotional impression on your audience and inform your Ideal Brand Adopter about the essence of who you are and the many different aspects of your personality and professional expertise.
Read MoreSimply put, a Personal Brand Statement is an outward-facing statement that tells people what you do. That’s it. No need to overcomplicate it. If you do something they care about, they’ll follow you. That’s how it works. It’s also important to note the difference between a Personal Brand Statement and a Personal Mission Statement. A mission statement explains why your personal brand exists. What’s the purpose of your brand? What are you trying to accomplish by having a personal brand and sharing your content with others?
Read MoreIf you don’t have any real level of professional expertise, is it pointless to build a personal brand? Absolutely not. Take heart in knowing you don’t have to share educational content on social media to have a credible personal brand. Everyone has to start somewhere. If you’re a person who wants to serve others, share what’s true for you, and tap that creativity muscle, you will find immense joy and satisfaction from creating content consistently and engaging with an audience who is interested in who you are and what you do.
Read MorePeople always ask me, “How did you know it would work?” I always respond that I didn’t know. I had faith that it would. I felt that faith in my body as I conducted my first few sales calls, wrote the sales page, and began to coach with no prior training. When something is meant to happen, it has a way of spilling out of you. I remember thinking how easy it was to write the sales page. I remember being unafraid of my first strategy sessions (it felt like something I was born to do), and I remember feeling confident in my decision to continue taking clients and helping them build their personal brand. It was the most natural thing in the world for me, and I never questioned any of it.

Read MorePersonal branding is a long game. It’s something you will protect, grow, and water for years to come. It requires a great deal of grit and tenacity.
