Personal Branding: 10 Tips to Reflect Yourself Through Services

by Deepa Singh



‘In today’s world, personal branding is essential for an entrepreneur.’

I received this invaluable advice from a well-wisher when I initially shared my dreams of starting my own venture...

When I began meeting clients to offer my services, their queries made it clear that they were looking for assurance about the quality and reliability of my services.

Eventually, it didn’t take long for me to understand its importance.


Personal Branding Simplified: Show, don't tell.


An individual starts building a personal brand the moment he/she is born. From the beginning, people around us begin to form impressions based on our inherent traits and behaviors.

As we grow, our personality becomes a key aspect of our identity. It shapes how much people trust and rely on us. 

Our unique characteristics such as our strengths, expertise, personal values, motivations, honesty, empathy, and resilience craft our personal brand.

In business, this personal brand extends beyond just who we are as an individual. It starts to influence how our professional services are perceived, and significantly enhance the reputation of what we offer.

It means you are reflecting your persona through your services. It adds a unique dimension to your professional offerings, making them more appealing and trustworthy to others.  

Your audience will navigate towards your service through your personality. Who are you? What do you do? How do you do it?
