Building your brand is building your reputation - you build it brick by brick. Stone by stone. It takes a good number of years to do so. Sometimes even more.
You build it with the work you do, the results you get, the relationships you make, the deeds you do outside of work as well. What kind of a person you are, how do you deal with others, what kind of impact are you bringing to the table, what value are you providing - everything counts as reputation - everything counts as the brand.
When you say you're building a personal brand, its not just about posting content on social media under your name. It’s not limited to designing a logo or creating fancy content.
You are building your brand at every moment of time, with everyone around you. It's everything that is mentioned above that makes your personal brand.
Said that the online platforms are considered a major factor in the process because, with the access to the people and tools, it is easier than ever for you to spread your work, to spread your word, to spread your impact.
That is why building a personal brand is key, but only if you want to build yourself to that level, your reputation to that level, and bring that kind of impact on the table.
PODCAST: With everything that we do in life, we often know the answers to the 'What' and the 'How', but we often forget to answer the most important question that would make it easier to decide everything.

Our issues start with our vocabulary, which in turn creates more issues for us. When we have to describe how our day went, we typically address our emotions as 'good', 'bad', 'okay', or 'meh'.
When we don't address our emotions properly, we ourselves don't get enough clarity of how we feel.
I learned this from Jay Shetty and understood what this means and its impact on us. Harvard has even done a study about it. What you can do is, search for 'Emotional Vocabulary' on Google and study the charts, understand them and you'll find out how many types of emotions are there, what do you feel when.
You'll thus get more clarity, more understanding of how you feel, what you can do to change or address that exact emotion.
