How to create positive personal branding karma

Hello there, 

I hope you are well.

And so the school holidays have begun! I have my teen and tween boys at home, and have been trying to convince them spring cleaning really is a lot of fun (so far they are not buying it).

Although we are literally only days into the holidays, I have caught myself saying over and over, "if you can't help me when I ask, then I won't help you when you ask." In this case, my ultimate outcome is an empty dishwasher but it occurred to me today the lesson is far reaching for all of us.

This simple yet profound equation is especially relevant in personal branding. Do for others what you want them to do for you, give to others the way you want them to give to you, and say to others what you would also hope they say to you. How does this look on a practical level-

1. Go out of your way to introduce people-  bringing your network together is a wonderful way to strengthen relationships, create a powerful reputation as a network broker, and give others incentive to introduce you to their contacts. 

2. Engage with others social media content- we all know how nice it is to feel seen and appreciated after we have spent time creating content. Go out of your way to make others feel that and I promise they will return the favour.

3. Help others win- buy a copy of their new book, purchase tickets to their events, help promote their initiatives, and support others wherever you can in making their dreams come true. 

Life has a way of reflecting back who you are being. If you want more generosity and support, start by giving it.

I hope this helps.

Warmest wishes

Carlii
