Branding when you think of it usually refers to a company, a representation of who they are, what they are about or the service they provide. Nowaydays there is more discussion of our own Personal Brand. This essentially the ongoing process of establishing an image or impression in the mind of others about you. Both professionally and personally.
Everyone is aware of branding on a business level but in today’s term’s personal branding is just as important. You work for a business or with other businesses if you are self-employed, but essentially it is people working with people. This is what makes business relationships so important and special.
Here are some tips to assist with Personal Branding;

- Set your priorities;
