Greetings! |
Mea culpa! On January 2, 2009, my second book was published... and I haven't even told you about it yet! (which gives you a pretty good idea of how busy 2009 has been so far...)
This second book in the How YOU™ Are Like Shampoo personal branding book series outlines how to use personal branding for greater job search success. And to apologize for not letting you know sooner, I'm going to give you a copy of the book absolutely fr*ee - as long as you act on my offer within the next 7 days. See the article below for more information on how to receive the new book - no strings attached! It's just my gift to YOU™.

My Sincere Offer - and Thank You - to YOU™
|
As I said above, the second book in my personal branding book series is now released, and I'm happy to say it's been receiving great reviews. It has also already reached hundreds of people around the world who are focusing on getting a great new job faster - despite tough economic times.
Because I want to thank you for being a part of our personal branding online community this past year, I am making an unprecedented offer: For the next 7 days, you can download the entire e-book version of my new book - How YOU™ Are Like Shampoo for Job Seekers - absolutely fre-e. Yes, you read that right - you can have the complete 280 page e-book (which normally costs $19.95) at no cost to you at all - if you act quickly.
Am I crazy to offer this? Maybe, but this is my way of saying "thank you" for being a part of the success of How YOU™ Are Like Shampoo this past year.
In fact, I'll go even one step further: If you know of someone who is out of work and looking for a job but who is not currently a part of our online community, send them the link within the next 7 days so they can download the e-book for fr ee, too. (Your friends are my friends. Plus, I really want to see everyone getting back to work again.)
The only favor I would ask in return is to (a) let me know what you think of the book once you've had a chance to read it (I sincerely value your inputs!), and (b) tell as many people about the book as you are willing and able. Thank you in advance!
For instructions on how to download the e-book, please see the instruction box at the end of this e-newsletter.
Remember: This offer is only valid for the next 7 days, so act quickly!
Enjoy reading - and here's to YOU™!

YOU™ and Your Company: Making the Corporate Brand / Personal Brand Connection
|
You may already know that defining and communicating your unique personal brand on the job is a powerful way to further your career. But have you ever thought about the connection between your personal brand and your company's brand? What role does that "connection" - or lack of a connection - play in your career success? And how do you determine if your personal brand is out of sync with your company's brand? Whether we're talking about personal brands or corporate brands, here's a secret that the best marketers know: Great brands don't get to be great by accident. In fact, there is a tried-and-true formula for building great brands, and it starts with defining six core elements. These elements fit together like puzzle pieces to define your personal brand or your company's brand, and they reflect what you want your firm - and "YOU™", the trademarked you - to stand for. How does your personal brand line up with your company's brand in terms of these six elements?

Thoughts on the Economy: Wise Words From a 9-Year-Old
|
Recently, Grey - the 9-year-old son of my lifelong friend, Danielle - blessed us with the following gem of a phrase:
Fear is like a goldfish.
The more you feed it, the bigger it grows.
I thought that was incredibly insightful - and it's so true, isn't it? If we're not mindful of it, the fear that has come about as a result of the recent economic downturn can feed on itself and grow bigger and bigger. I appreciated that gentle reminder from my young friend, Grey.
In my last e-newsletter, I shared some tips on how to fight the fear that has grown in the world lately and how to replace that fear with strong actions you can take immediately to protect and grow your personal brand during these interesting times.
