Here's how you can strengthen your personal brand for entrepreneurial success in higher education.

Well, you need to stand out. That obviously comes with branding. But everyone knows that. And everyone talks about that. But what should go in your brand? For higher education? Results. Except for maybe operations and IT, selling the results in your content (please be honest) is how you stand apart from the others. Not to be harsh, but higher ed, especially edupreneurship, is based on production... What products do you have? Who did you help excel in a class? What colleges did you get your mentees in? Deliverables, deliverables, deliverables...and you have to gear your deliverables to the audience who is seeking them. You can do that with vetted testimonials. Displaying achievements will show that you're more "do" than "talk".
