		<description>@David Yup, and some people are happy (or in some cases, so they think — they haven&#039;t explored the possibilities) to have a &quot;weak&quot; brand. It can be hard because it requires confidence and self-awareness without being narcissistic — self-promotion at the EXPENSE, not for the BENEFIT of others.</description>

		<description>I appreciated your take on branding.  I don&#039;t profess to be an expert on the topic but I thoroughly enjoy the subject.  You hit on the very important brand principle of being an individual.  Some brands are strong and others are weak but everyone has one.  Those characteristics that differentiate us from others are the elements that make up our personal brand.  In order to have a stronger brand you need to determine what your strengths are, what makes you different from others, and then highlight those unique characteristics in everything you do and say.</description>
