Personal Branding Myths: Why 'Overnight Success' is Misleading

Powerful Personal Brand

Next time you see an ad for a system or process that will make your brand successful overnight, proceed with caution. Here is why:

Since entrepreneurship gained rapid popularity in 2020, there’s been a flood of information about what it takes to create a successful brand. However, not all the information out there is true or reliable. Sometimes lies sell better than the truth. Let’s lay out the most common (and damaging) myths about successful branding.

First, it’s critical that a brand is built on more than a desire to make money quickly. Yes, a successful brand will yield profits, but you cannot hijack that outcome without consequences. A solid personal brand is not unlike a tree: the roots have to move down before the brand can rise up. There is no shortcut to organic growth.

This next point is one you will often hear on this show: authenticity is key. Synthesizing authenticity might allow you to fake it in the short term, but there is simply no faking when it comes to genuine authenticity. If you are not interested in helping, your brand will pay the price.
