Personal branding is important for small business
You’ve heard a million times that most small businesses fail after the first or second year. So what happens to an entrepreneur when their business is gone? The answer is that they are taken down with their company unless they’ve built their own brand simultaneously while operating their business. A personal brand can always be leveraged by an entrepreneur to regain momentum, capture attention and even start a new business faster than their previous one.

Interesting article on email.
Next time you write an email subject line, words such as “confirm,” “join,” “press,” or “invite” is not a good idea if you want a response, says data from Baydin, the makers of email plugin Boomerang. Baydin recently extracted data from five million emails its users handled. It found that some subject-line words, such as “apply” and “opportunity,” got more responses than words from the aforementioned list. Also the best time to send emails is before work around 6 a.m. Baydin’s average email game player deleted about half of the 147 messages he or she received each day. Ninety minutes of the two hours he or she spent on email each day went to just 12 messages.

Steve Jobs and his secret ad agency
The Media Arts Lab is an advertising agency like no other. Based at a discreet address, it is thought to employ more than 50 people but has only one client. However, finding information about MAL is not easy.
Go to its website and there is just a holding page, with no mention that this is even an ad agency. The only clue that this might be a business of some significance is that there are phone numbers for four offices in London, Los Angeles, Tokyo and Beijing.

Steve Jobs: 7 principles for success
1. Do what you love. Jobs once said, “People with passion can change the world for the better.” Asked about the advice he would offer would-be entrepreneurs, he said, “I’d get a job as a busboy or something until I figured out what I was really passionate about.” That’s how much it meant to him. Passion is everything.

Brand “You” and the real power
If you want to grow your brand, you’ve got to come to terms with power — your own. I’m talking about a different kind of power than we usually refer to. It’s not who’s-got-the-biggest-office-by-six-square-inches power or who’s-got-the-fanciest-title power.
It’s influence power.

A design driven branding machine - W Hotels
W brand—a style-driven brand that is inextricably linked to design.
I always admire Ron Arad’s work and, to my delight, I came across this “WOW Bikes,” Ron Arad’s design for W Hotel. It’s a bespoke bicycle that reimagines the wheel using nothing but curved sprung steel. And anyone who stays at the hotel can ride it. It is beautiful and functional.

What differentiates “You” as a brand?
Start by identifying the qualities or characteristics that make you distinctive from your competitors — or your colleagues. What have you done lately — this week — to make yourself stand out? What would your colleagues or your customers say is your greatest and clearest strength? Your most noteworthy (as in, worthy of note) personal trait?

As a brand, what makes YOU different?
Start right now: as of this moment you’re going to think of yourself differently! You’re not an “employee” of General Motors, you’re not a “staffer” at General Mills, you’re not a “worker” at General Electric or a “human resource” at General Dynamics (ooops, it’s gone!). Forget the Generals! You don’t “belong to” any company for life, and your chief affiliation isn’t to any particular “function.” You’re not defined by your job title and you’re not confined by your job description.
Starting today you are a brand.

Branding “You”
Big companies understand the importance of brands. Today, in the Age of the Individual, you have to be your own brand. Here’s what it takes to be the CEO of Me Inc.
It’s a new brand world.
That cross-trainer you’re wearing — one look at the distinctive swoosh on the side tells everyone who’s got you branded. That coffee travel mug you’re carrying — ah, you’re a Starbucks woman! Your T-shirt with the distinctive Champion “C” on the sleeve, the blue jeans with the prominent Levi’s rivets, the watch with the hey-this-certifies-I-made-it icon on the face, your fountain pen with the maker’s symbol crafted into the end …
You’re branded, branded, branded, branded.
