Waking up to your mobile phone While we're all living in this digital world, majority of us are glued to our mobile phones at all times Some of us for work, some because they're habituated and some have the FOMO (Fear Of Missing Out) Ignoring our mental health has unfortunately become a normal thing. This is affecting us in so many ways that words can't explain Here's an exercise that I follow and I think it could benefit you too: 👉 wake up in the morning and be grateful for all things in your life 👉 take a moment to see the beauty of nature around you 👉 if you live with someone (could be your parents, partner, kids, roommates etc), spend some time with them and smile 👉 have at least one day in a week as a digital detox day where you don't touch either your phone or your laptop 👉 try an avoid using your phone at least an hour or half an hour to start with before going to bed The above helps you to regain your mental strength and work more efficiently Ultimately once you work on your inner self, you automatically start looking and feeling better on your outer self. This thus helps in building your personal brand and letting people know you for the new improvised you! Which of the above steps are you following?

Mind your manners I'm sure that majority of us love to take #flights to our #destination as it's faster, less #time consuming and more than anything it's fun However have you ever paid attention to yourself while on an airplane? In 2024, I made three #international trips and a couple of domestic trips via an airplane. What saddened me the most was to look at the airhostess and steward on the flight Though they've been trained to do everything with a smile on their face irrespective of how disgusted they might be, they're just like you and me too! They deserve #empathy and #respect too Let's take a simple example of a passenger wanting something to eat or drink. While I was flying to #Australia I wanted an extra serving of the snack they were handing out. I saw some people asking the airhostess by touching her arm to get her attention While some people were so loud and interrupted while she was serving another passenger It's here where people need to mind their #manners. They can 👉 politely request for whatever they want while they're being served 👉 wait for the airhostess to complete talking to the other passenger 👉 wait for the service to be completed to all the passengers 👉 call out by clicking the assistance button provided on every seat on the flight When approached by the airhostess, all you need to do is request politely for what you need. I wanted an extra packet of the snack and this is how I requested "I was wondering if you'd have an extra packet of the snack to be served to me?" Instantly there was a smile on the airhostess's face and she said "yes of course I'll be back with it for you" and there she was in less than a minute at my seat with my requested snack in her hand It doesn't take much to be #kind and the level of #satisfaction it brings to oneself is unexplainable Manners are to be maintained everywhere we go. It defines who we are as an individual thus affecting our #personalbrands

Bragging or credibility building? In my experience I've seen many people who wish not to talk about their achievements either offline or online They feel that it's bragging about themselves However what many fail to understand is that talking about their achievements in a humble and elegant manner, is more about credibility building than bragging People understand the difference between bragging and credibility building My weekly column in today's "The Perfect Voice" newspaper showcases how talking about your achievements is more about credibility building than bragging It helps you get more business if done in the right manner Which one are you currently doing? #newspaper #weeklycolumn #article #credibility #credibilitybuilding #personalbranding #article #bragging #authenticity

Is it the beginning of the end? Do you believe that the end of anything, be it a #project or a #relationship or for that matter even a dead end of the road is the #end of your #life? Ever seen a range of mountains? the next one just starts where the first one ends The events in our lives also work in a similar pattern. The end of anything is actually a #beginning of something #new and beautiful Sulking over what's gone for a longer period of time will only make one lose an #opportunity of grabbing something new that's much better Our #brands are also affected the same way. As humans, we #evolve every single day. Our #PersonalBrands also evolve with the changes taking place The key to maintaining and #enhancing your personal brand is to remain #authentic Now, are you looking at the end as the end of the first day of beginning something brand new and #conquering it? DM me the word #BRAND and help me to help you build a brand that's evergreen and loved

It's not only about what you say but about how you say it More than often people especially today feel that they need to be heard and accepted for who they are and what they do They aren't right or wrong but the way one puts across his/her message is what's important. The TONE in which one speaks is what makes a huge difference Even if you're correct with what you've to say but your tone isn't appropriate, people won't accept it Neither would one be creating any good image for themselves in the longer run My weekly article in The Perfect Voice newspaper showcases how the tone matters in Personal Branding Give it a read below in the image or by clicking on this link below https://lnkd.in/dzVPd6rR #tone #wishfulsaying #value #personalbranding #voice #brandvoice #newspaper #article #weeklycolumn

A maze trap As fun as getting into a maze is, it's equally painful/difficult for those who get lost inside Ever wondered how some people are extremely #clear about what they want in life while the others are struggling to figure out what they desire? Things happen for a reason. Some people have specific #goals while the others still keep wondering in a maze It's no fun for those who get lost. For those who have figured their way out are not lucky, they have #clarity Clarity in life is of utmost importance. Just as getting lost in a maze is fun only for a short bit but gets irritating after a longer period, the same thing happens in life too Not knowing your #purpose, having uncertainty of #goals in your #professional lives doesn't suffice for a longer period of time #Successful #Business #owners are often those who are very clear about their goals and have a #direction in which they know where to go Are you still figuring out your life's purpose and/or business goals? How far have you made it through the maze of your life? DM me the word BRAND and let's get started on your life's goals and thus creating your #personalbrand

Time wasters vs time consumers Have you ever come across people who have shown a lot of interest in knowing you / your ideas / your proposal? How many of those have actually turned out to be fruitful? Ever wondered why you come across such people? Too many questions right at the start of my post, aren't they? We all happen to come across people who would show a lot of interest in getting to know about us or our services however they do not land up becoming our #customers There is a whole lot of time and effort that may be put in from our end thinking that there might be a #conversion. The bitter truth is that a lot of people out there are window shopping Identifying and filtering is the key here! At such times it's important to not lose our cool and rather be our authentic selves. Helping the window shoppers may not lead to conversions right away but #sales might happen in the long run Maintaining #dignity and #elegance thus reflecting your #PersonalBrand is what will help you in the long run And as I mentioned earlier, filtering is the key to not letting the window shoppers waste your time too much I've met a couple of people here in #Australia who are casual yet direct and this lead me to making this post How much time are you #investing in #TimeWasters versus #DealMakers / #TimeConsumers? #time #timemanagement #identification #filter

Are you creating a fake image all over social media? Are you getting influenced by the posts and videos you see online and using it on yourself? More than often it's seen that people these days are highly influenced by the influencers and content creators they see online They try to imitate them in order to grow their followers What they forget is what is their motive of doing so and how it could be hampering their personal brands In my article today in The Perfect Voice newspaper I talk about the current scenario of fake influencing hurting personal brands Give it a read below or comment "LINK" to get the link to this article for better view #fakeinfluencing #influencer #influencing #personalbranding #newspaper #article #weeklycolumn

Acting your age We all must have come across people who tend to act older to their actual age. At the same time we may have also encountered paths with people who act younger than their actual age Is doing any of it right or wrong? Maybe not! But to what extent does one play the act is what makes the difference I've come across people at networking events who may have just entered the business world and may not have a great understanding of how to deal with people. They often end up showing off too much without even realizing that the other person very well understands where you stand At the same time there also are people who behave childish thinking that it makes them look cute. However the reality being that not many people like that behavior especially while dealing with other business associates. One might tend to lose a deal It's always ideal to maintain elegance and act your age. It not just builds value in the minds of the others for you but also helps create an image about you Building this image is building a personal brand for which one is known and acknowledged for Choose wisely, live elegantly! #act #actyourage #imagebuilding #value #valuecreation #personalbranding #mindyouract #mindyourmanners
