3 Easy Ways to Strengthen Your Online Brand Identity

Your personal brand is nothing more (or less) than the image you project to others. It’s the whole (although abbreviated) picture of who you are and what you do–professionally. Online, it’s the sum of the parts. A large (maybe the whole) purpose of creating and maintaining an online brand is so that people who don’t know you (employers or potential clients/business partners) can find you, evaluate whether they want to meet you/work with you/recommend you.

When most of us start out in business, we do not care who our customers are, or where they come from. All we care about is that they buy from us! That is a good strategy when you are getting started, but, over time, you probably want to start looking at your customer’s transaction rates too. I have a formula for business success that I share with my clients, and one of the things that play a role in that formula is your transaction rate.

As a spiritual teacher and healer, I thought that was one of the most profound things I have ever read for several reasons. First, it acknowledges that most of what we experience in our lives is manifested from our thoughts, although many times it comes from our subconscious thoughts. Second, I am convinced that how we start our day dictates what kind of day we will have. “Start our day” means what is going through our minds when we first wake up.
