What's personal branding, and what are the five images you need to stand out?


Personal branding tells the world more about who you are as a person and as a business owner.


As Simon Sinek brilliantly says, "People don't buy what you do; they buy why you do it."

People do business with people they know, like, and trust.

That means that, in order for your business to thrive, people need to see YOU in your brand. That way, you show your WHY and your values...and that way, you build trust, and people will know you and like you.

In this article, I go deeper into what branding is if you need more information.

Today, I want to show you the Five images you absolutely need for your brand to stand out.

If you are getting ready for your own branding session, or you are considering investing in one, this article might be just what you need.

“People don't buy what you do; they buy why you do it. And what you do simply proves what you believe”

(― Simon Sinek, Start with Why: How Great Leaders Inspire Everyone to Take Action)
