Add You - Make A Name For Yourself, Or Someone Else Will
When talking to professional builders and renovators I often ask what are the main advantages that separates them from their competition. I'll often hear the same answers: "personal service", "keeping in touch with clients" and "quality work", to list a few.This, however, is one of the biggest reasons builders and renovators "can't find good quality leads" or have to compete on price with lower-quality competition. These phr
Two or three words. That’s how fast your personal brand must be communicated. Not just with the media, but with personal introductions, marketing materials, business cards, websites and the like. It’s a sad but true fact which reflects the rapid acceleration of our culture.
For many people, undertaking a job search is either a chore or a nightmare. With the right tools and job search help, however, a job search can be an adventure that lands you your dream job. Here are three tips to put you on the path to fulfilling careers.Design a PlanJust as you wouldn't a house without a set of blueprints, you shouldn't conduct a job search without a plan. Your plan should start with your goal. This isn't th
I realized this axiom years ago during the first few years of wearing a nametag 24-7. See, while that time wasn't the most comfortable or productive, it was certainly the most interesting and enlightening. Probably because the idea was still evolving; and wearing a nametag was still SO organic that every day brought about exciting new moments its evolution.
By the time I graduated college, strangers began to approach me not only to ask why I was wearing a nametag; but also to ask if I was, in fact, “That Guy Who Wore the Nametag.”
“Um, yeah. Yeah I am,” I’d say. Meanwhile I’d be thinking, Wow! They already know who I am! Cool.
But it wasn’t until January 15th, 2003 that it all came clear. That was the day CNN interviewed me about my first book HELLO, my name is Scott. That was the day I officially took ownership of my unique, powerful and UNFORGETTABLE personal brand - whether I liked it or not.
I guess I just never thought that “someone” would be CNN.
You see, whether or not you’re a news buff, all television interviews are the same: the screen will display the person in question, his or her full name; then below is a one-line description of that person’s job title, position or role in the featured story.
So, here’s what CNN wrote about me:
SCOTT GINSBERG: NAMETAG WEARER
It was the hardest I ever laughed in my life. Nametag Wearer? Ha! You can’t make this stuff up!
Which brings up an interesting point about branding, uniqueness and making your idea UNFORGETTABLE.
PICTURE THIS: you’re sitting at the CNN studio, ready to be interviewed about your cool new idea, company or product. After giving the producer the correct spelling of your full name, she asks you, “Oh, and one last thing before you go on the air in five minutes: what two or three words do you want written underneath your name?”

If it is time to renovate your home, consider becoming your own contractor and save yourself hundreds or thousands of dollars! If you are capable of completing the work yourself, bypass the costly contractors and finish the project on your own and under budget. For a larger project, hire individuals directly to work on each specific part of the renovation. Hiring sub contractors directly will still save you a great deal of money and allo

We're surrounded by advertisements that desperately compete for our attention. Everywhere we look, we find ourselves inevitably drawn to images of scantily clad attractive men and women that are supposed to somehow inspire us to purchase products they endorse. Sure, this attention-getting strategy is popular. But, is it effective?Sex appeal can increase the effectiveness of an ad or commercial because it attracts the customer’s attenI officially took ownership of my unique, powerful and UNFORGETTABLE personal brand - whether I liked it or not.

Screen printing or silk screening is an authentic promotional mode for various industries, platforms etc. It is most economical process for printing aluminum, brass, bronze, and stainless steel nameplates. It’s also known as four color process, as colors are also possible with this process, where enamel, epoxy or polyester inks are printed on metallic name tags. These screen-printed name plates are later coated by epoxy to give it loof your full name, she asks you, “Oh, and one last thing before you go on the air in five minutes: what two or three words do you want written underneath your name?”

What’s more, if you can’t concisely and immediately articulate who you are and what you’re all about, one of two things will happen:
1) Someone else will communicate their personal brand and steal the show, according to Peter Montoya.
2) Someone else will take the liberty of communicating your brand for you. And it might not be the one you want.
For example, I was once introduced before giving speech in the following way:
“Ladies and gentleman, I have the honor of introducing today’s speaker. Scott Ginsberg…uh…doesn’t have any credentials…but uh…I’m sure you’ll be amazed by his youth! Please welcome, Scott Ginsberg.”
I could actually hear the sound of my heart breaking as I walked on stage.
At least, I think it was my heart breaking. Then again, it might have been the sound of my credibility being crushed before an audience of 100 strangers, or perhaps it was the sound of the launching sequence of a speech I was about to totally bomb, which I did.
This is what COULD happen to you if you’re not prepared to articulate your brand. It reminds me of the famous question from William Shakespeare's Romeo & Juliet: "What's in a name?"
But also reminds me of a more important question: "What's AFTER a name?"
