I am quite fascinated with the idea of creating my own living breathing document which is how I have come to conceptualize a "blog". I find it a bit intimidating to be in charge of a sustainability beat for BGI because I am fearful of my words coming back to haunt me. My thoughts and feelings are constantly morphing and I am still trying to figure out how to simultaneously preserve my privacy, have confidence in creating my personal brand, and all while trying to figure out who I am.

What if I die tomorrow?
Intensive 1 was amazingly stimulating in terms of exploring personal brand. For the past week I have been thinking deeply about my own personal brand and how to capture my essence that quite possibly could become immortalized in words. Is what I have to say today profound enough to be recorded forever? What if I die tomorrow and don't have time to edit?

My advice? Don't over think it. None of us knows who exactly we'll be in 10 or 5 or even 1 year. This is something I discussed with my personal branding buddy this weekend. It's important to stay consistent to your brand, but it shouldn't imprison you. You should be able to grow and evolve as time goes on. I think as long as you stay true to yourself, and your online presence shows that, you'll be okay.
ReplyDeleteCan you imagine how hard it's going to be for the next generation? They've been online since birth! Try undoing all that when you finally decide to redo your personal brand.
