Great conversation guys…thanks for the chat!
Love the quote of Eckhart Tolle to wrap up as well…stay present, be mindful, work hard, and have fun Mark, Tom, and everyone else on here!

In reply to Annette A. Penney. I don't think there are any rules. I, for one, am in development : )

Very much enjoyed the discussion (LOL) about personal branding. This is an issue close to my heart, since authors are all about personal branding. 🙂

Isn’t it acceptable for your personal brand to be seen as “in development” as you develop (in your industry/occupation)?

I love the Facebook graphic. Very funny and clever.

Most people don’t realize that my grandfather actually started Facebook in 1950 well before this Internet thing started happening. http://momentslater.blogspot.com/2010/11/original-facebook.html

Having heard the podcast, I do think that the most important point in your conversation with Tom, aside from the stickers, is that an employee needs to be mindful of the portability of their personal brand. I can’t imagine someone in the 20’s beginning their career not investing in their personal brand from day one on the job (or sooner).

When young people ask me for advice on marketing and career, the first thing I do is ask them to tell me about their personal brand.

Cheers.
