Self-branding

Question
Why is it important to think about self-branding? 
Answer
In many ways, perception is reality. Business success, like brand success, depends on what other people think about you. Therefore, creating positive impressions about yourself in the minds of other people is the result of effective self-branding.

Self-branding takes your and/or your product/service beyond the simple commodity. It makes you an inseparable part of the business relationship. Sales used to be about "Can you do the job?" Self-branding takes the relationship to a higher level, and can help you achieve your career and business goals.
