When I work with clients, one of the first activities we take a look at what their mission/passion and core values are. These are the foundational elements of who they are, and you can't build a genuine brand on a lie. There's a reason Aunt Jemima and Uncle Ben's only get so far in the world - they are characters. Characters have a limited scope and are shallow by nature, because they are not all-encompassing, or of a 'personal' nature. That's how I try to distinguish 'character' branding from 'personal' branding. A person has multiple facets and characters. A character is a one, maybe two dimensional archetype that doesnt give your audiene a full glimpse of what you're really about. Some people just don't want to bare the depths of who they are - and should avoid personal brandin at all costs.

As an example, I see companies offering their SEO services to the world and they have an Alexa Ranking of 3 million. Some people are still growing into their own personal brand and they might need to tone down their Guru pitch a bit until they have some more things figured out.

Great to see such a vast amount of people commenting on this topic! Personal Branding 1.01 should be your questions - the deep, delving questions that allow us to understand what our core beliefs and values are, otherwise we spend our time spouting off content without authentically understanding our own core message. People need a core authentic awareness of themselves before delivering a message they want others to grasp. This also ties into Personal PR. Thanks Jonathan, Cheers, Emma Fab article there!
