In addition to building a business, developing a personal brand is key to positioning yourself as an expert. Personal branding builds credibility, helps you become more relatable, and increases your reputation. You'll become known for what you do by potential clients and will attract the attention of other leading experts.
Here's four ways on how to build a stellar personal brand.

What am I known for?
What gifts comes to me easily?
What have I spent time mastering?
How can I package what I know into a product or service?
Narrowing down your expertise will help you gain clarity on what you are called to do. As a result, you’ll position yourself as an expert, thought leader, and the “go-to” guru in your industry.
