Many people think that starting and running your own business is the best of most worlds. It sounds like the best life: making money while working in your small office perhaps located in your basement or that small extra bedroom. They forgot to mention one thing though: the dirty little secret all solopreneurs know. Solopreneurship can be lonely.

When new businesses finally get their website up and running, their site is usually built with a blog page, waiting for the business to create content to share with website visitors. So, for the first few weeks or months they occasionally add content to the blog page (usually when they have time). This is one of the biggest mistakes people make when trying to promote their business.

(From the article): We’re all capable of improving, regardless of what natural abilities we were born with or without. It’s important then to acknowledge our successes or failures and remind ourselves that they are a direct result of our own effort or lack thereof, not of factors outside our control.
It’s the difference between having a “fixed mindset” or a “growth mindset”. A “fixed mindset” assumes that our abilities can’t be changed in any meaningful way, and success or failure is the reinforcement of the traits we were “born” with. When we have a “growth mindset,” on the other hand, we see obstacles and challenges as opportunities for growth beyond our existing abilities.
These two mindsets spur a great deal of our behavior so it’s essential to recognize if you tend toward a fixed mindset and try to shift your thinking toward a growth mindset.

Personal branding is based on the idea that the internet has provided everyone with the potential to reach any other person with no restrictions on geography and time, two of the biggest barriers in previous time frames. In those not so long ago times, it would take a great amount of time to become familiar enough with another person to get to the point of being able to call them friend. Most people never ventured more than 10 miles radius from their home so the only people they knew were the people around them. Technology has changed all that and now your circle has stretched around the world

You’ve come a long way, achieving several major goals over the first half of the year, and you’ve done it quietly because that’s who you are.

But you can be humble while still giving yourself credit for your accomplishments.

How to build your reputation.
Barb Jemmott's insight:
One of the most powerful forms of influence, according to psychologist Robert Cialdini's famous analysis, is authority - often derived by perceived expertise. When you don't have outstanding credentials, how do you stand out?

(From the article): Finally, the best antidote if you’re lacking an expert reputation now is to start creating one ASAP. Creating original contentis the single most effective way to develop an expert reputation. Though the best channel will vary (photographers and chefs should double down on Instagram, while it’s less helpful for attorneys and insurance brokers), blogging is a good betfor most professionals. In just an hour or two a week, you can begin to demonstrate how you think about the issues facing your field and sharing your unique point of view. Your content creation sparks a virtuous circle: because reporters looking for comment almost always start their articles with an online search, if your name keeps coming up as someone writing about the issues, they’re likely to contact you, reinforcing your expert reputation with third-party validation.
If you’re not yet considered an expert, it’s harder to get your ideas noticed — but not impossible. With these strategies, you can begin to overcome others’ resistance and make sure your voice is heard.
