This book provides a wealth of information as well as specific exercises that you can do to help you with these challenges. When you consciously create your brand, you are taking a leadership position in your life and taking control of the outcome. Take control and be purposeful and learn from these professionals."
Author Andrieka “AJ” Austin states “Women need help with personal branding because, many times we do not realize how important our image, aka “personal branding”, and messaging is. From the clothes we choose to wear every day we leave the house, to the words that we choose to use in our daily conversation; these all represent who we truly are from the inside out.”

Author Connie Glover states that "It's no longer about who you know, but about who knows you." That's my motto, and what it means is this: For women, it's no longer sufficient to have an impressive resume, advanced degrees, and contributions to the community. Instead of seeking out, women need to set themselves up to be sought after. And to do that they need to build their brand. The job market, the road to whatever career or position is desired, and the digital space (including digital networking platforms) is very crowded and noisy. A comprehensive, consistent, and integrated brand strategy is critical for women to get noticed, for people to pay attention, and to make known who you are, what you stand for, and what you contribute.”
If you don’t develop your own brand, you’ll be branded as a commodity.
It is important to effectively communicate well to getothers onboard with your business brand’s mission.
Maintaining a high emotional intelligence, “tough skin” and moving forward at all costs are all extremely important parts of maintaining a great image.

“There is never a second chance to make a first impression. This refers to online and offline branding.”
From Chapter 9: Great Lessons for Women WhoWant to Lead and Own Businesses
The only difference between the two [business and personal identifies] exists in your mind.
Decide the type of persona you want tohave online and stay true to that voice.
The ability – within less than a second -- to view information and images of people, can make or break public and professional opinions of your competence.

“Things have changed in the workplace. Women see no reason why they shouldn’t
Branding It is all about who we are – not what we do. It is what makes us unique.
You are the interface between what you know and what is wanted. If your “website” does not appeal to the reader, then all the knowledge you display is useless.Knowledge and fitting in might get you in the door, but that is all it will do.
Passion and enthusiasm serves to bring people into a relationship, which is at the center of all successful business.
Curiosity is an undervalued characteristic, but in myopinion it is essential for anyone who plans to grow andEvolve.We choose in this world how we wish to take on strugglesand living each day. I choose to see the best, to fight forfairness and equity in every aspect of life, to speakTruth as I behold it.
