The Worst Thing You Can Do is to Build a Personal Brand. (opens the original)
Read excerpt
The rhetoric online is to be visible and build a personal brand. And if you're like me, you are probably wondering, what does building a personal brand even mean and why should everyone build one?On social media, we're constantly sold the belief that if you don't build your personal brand, you won't be allowed to be in certain rooms or you're just not working hard enough.

We don't listen to the same song and come to the same conclusion always. You might hate a song for the same reason I like it and vice versa. Music is subjective. And an artist, you can follow trends and "formulas", but you still ca
