- Dan Schawbel, Me 2.0

PERSONAL BRANDING MYTHS

People aren’t brands

I don’t have a personal brand

It’s all about the professional you

Everyone that matters knows the real me

You know me when you meet me

It’s only important if you’re looking for a job

My accomplishments speak for themselves

Its all about an image

My personal brand is my blog and social accounts
