Give that one a whirly McBurly burly , All right . Well , welcome to our weekly snackable and delicious content , Easier Weekly Curiosity , where Mia and I sit down and have a chat about some questions that we get in the Facebook group , in our DMs and that we have for each other , that we share with you in a really delicious snackable . Yum yum , yum , yum , yum , bite-sized way . What's up , Mia ? Did you say curiosity , right ? What's up , Mia ? Did you say curiosity ? Right , I did . And I didn't even stop to be like , hey guys , I did it , I just kind of like went with it . So I need to match them more often .
Speaker 2
Let's get into it A little bit of a different one today on personal branding . Which Kristen will handle this one because she's bloody the bomb at personal branding . This question is what does personal branding mean to you ? I feel like it means different things to different people .
Speaker 1
Great question . Let's have a chat . Yes , so I come from this in a different standpoint than I know . I've seen a lot of people do personal branding kind of things online and I kind of got myself into it . Oh , maybe I'm doing it wrong , hang on a minute . But I've been in this space online for over 10 years . I've built businesses in here .
Speaker 1
But one thing that I know when it comes to a personal brand is a personal and a business brand to me are interconnected , and when you build a business brand , you think about the marketing , what it looks like , how it sounds , the tone of voice , the messaging , the connection piece , the consistency across all platforms . That's what you think about when you think about a brand or as a brand manager or a marketing person , that's what you need to be able to do . Now , a personal brand is exactly the same thing . They are interconnected . If you think about your personal brand like a business brand , it will make a little bit more sense .
Speaker 1
So for me , that means your personal story , it means your energy , it means your tone of voice , it means the way you you rock up , and that does mean not so much how you dress in a really superficial way , but there is parts of that that you need to think about in terms of building a personal brand with power . There's your story , the messaging , the consistency , how you do show up online . If you think of that inconsistency , if you think right now of somebody that you follow online , I'm wondering and I'll ask you , mia , because you're live with me and anybody else that's at home , answer this one to yourself who's somebody right now you can think of , and I want you to explain to me who they are , by their appearance and their vibe , and what made you think of them ?
Speaker 2
Well , I'm going to give you one product I guess he wears and you'll know exactly who I'm talking about the nose breather thing in the nose , hamosi , who's that ?
Speaker 2
Yeah , just by saying that thing on his nose . I didn't even have to say his name or what he does . It's just that's part of his personal brand , even though it's just kind of this random thing , and it's not like he's like he just wears a banger , like a wife beater and that thing on his nose , and it's not like he's so rich but he doesn't have to get dressed up or like that's just him and that's his personal brand .
Speaker 1
Yeah , and it's about you know those things that I'm sure there are people that you can think of straight away , that there's something about them , and sometimes it can literally be an energy . Like you're scrolling and all of a sudden somebody pops up on your screen like , oh , oh , I love this creator . Like they give you a feeling , a vibe . And for me , when it comes to building a personal brand and years ago when I first I was made redundant from my corporate job so my background is brand and marketing I was made redundant and I moved into just a nothingness and I remember that I went to a business chicks event and I went by myself because I was like , okay , I have to get out of this rut . Like I'd spent days crying about the fact that I'd lost my 10 yearyear corporate job and what was I going to do ? No one's going to hire me , I'm not good enough . The whole story right .
Speaker 1
And I walked into this event and I dress like I have this very . I dress how I need to feel , and so for that event , I can tell you exactly right now what I was wearing . It was a blue jacket , a blue like a really nice kind of blue , lighter blue underneath top , a pencil skirt with colors on it , blue shoes . At the time I had really short peroxide blonde hair and so I could tell you that outfit because I knew that that's how I wanted to feel when I walked into that room anyway . So I get there , I walk in alone , I'm standing with this woman and she says to me oh so what do you do ? And I was like I don't , I don't have a job . And she was like oh , and like there was this like wave of pity that ran over her face and I instantly was like it kind of hit me instantly and I was like hang on a minute . That's like this is not a bad thing .
Speaker 1
And anyway , I just kind of blurted out this story about what my vision was and what I wanted to do in terms of becoming , you know , someone that's going to help women understand their brand and build their business and create a personal brand that's powerful . And it just kind of like vomited out my mouth and she was like that is incredible , that sounds amazing . Please let me know if you need anything , I'm more than happy to get you started . And she gave me a business card . By the end of the night I had 20 business cards because I had women finding me in that room Like so-and-so said I had to talk to you . So-and-so said that you've got this great vision .
Speaker 1
I was like whoa , and it was that night that I think I decided what a personal brand was , and that was when you step and you lean into who you are and you show up with an energy that is contagious to people , something that leaves people wanting to know more . They're just so fucking curious about you because you've given them something , a feeling , a vibe , a message or something . And so , for me , that is the essence of a personal brand . It's telling a story that creates connection in a way that isn't showboaty , it's not about what you wear , but there's something in the whole energy field for me that when you can get that right , people will remember you for a reason , and it's usually a feeling that they get from you as well as visual creatures .
Speaker 2
Yeah , when you met me , you said I really loved your personal brand , and because I didn't really have much experience with any of that , I'm like , oh really , I'm just like this random that posts on TikTok anything that I think of at the minute and I didn't understand that what I was doing was building this personal brand online For me . I was just rocking up on TikTok but unknowingly building this authentic . This is just me , this is what I'm doing , but that was actually building my personal brand .
Speaker 1
Exactly and what you were doing in that is , every time you turned up , I always knew what I was going to get when I saw your content . So there'll be creators that you'll come across that you kind of they're not memorable because they've not given you a feeling You've not had . There's nothing memorable about them that would make you think I remember that person where , even if you go , oh , I remember her .
Speaker 1
Remember she had that like orange thing on the wall , like if there's something like that , that person has given you something . And that , to me , is the personal brand . That to me is you're building this connection piece with people that , if you get it right , it is unstoppable .
Speaker 1
And that to me is is like fucking magic , like I just thrive off helping women uncover how they sprinkle their magic without being , um , yeah , showboaty and in your face and you don't have to be like I'm I'm loud , I'm very bright , but part of my personal brand is I do that because if I walk into a room and there's somebody that feels really uncomfortable , that's maybe a bit of a wallflower , that's anxious and doesn't know anyone , I want to be the person that that person finds and goes oh my gosh , I love your shoes . Oh , how are you ?
Speaker 1
So I want to be that ice breaking connection piece and it doesn't bother me to be that and that's part of a personal brand for me . So I think , yeah , online people have a very different concept of what I think a personal brand is and certainly what I'm trying to help our members really understand about their personal brand and there's a power in being memorable for something especially in a world of social media where it takes two seconds to scroll past someone and there's millions of creators , millions of videos , so someone can remember .
Speaker 2
They don't have to remember your name , like I don't remember heaps of names , but I remember people from what they've said or what they've worn or how their content comes across . And that's powerful because , especially like you could type into tiktok you a chick that wears pink all the time , like you just never know what's going to come up . It could be you , but people have that association with you and yeah , like a name kind of isn't that relevant on a content platform especially ?
Speaker 1
Yeah . So if that sparked curiosity because I know these are bite-sized snackable pieces . Like I said , we talk about this inside the community , but if you're now thinking , okay , how do I build a personal brand , what I want you to do is really think about it as if you were about to start a new business . So I want you to think , okay , what's the story ? What's the message ? What's my tone of voice ? What's my image Like ? What's the image like ? What's the logo you are the logo like ? Start to think of that . What ? How do I want people to feel after they've spent some time with me ? So think about it that way and that will help you craft
You have a personal brand . The second you hit record on a video . You're building a personal brand . But if you're unsure of what yours is , that's what I'd say is really to me a personal brand and a business fan , exactly the you know . At the end of the day , you want to build a good reputation and that's what you're doing . So just break it down like . That would probably be my biggest nugget of gold to drop if you want to learn how to build a powerful personal brand . That's it and we're done for this week . Check the podcast . There's so many good ones too .
