Entrepreneurship Topic: Mistakes & Personal Branding (AGAIN, but this time with a worksheet)
I made a HUGE mistake besides the parking ticket I got this morning! 🧾
I created a free download and uploaded the wrong document. 😱
Guess what happened?
...drumroll please...
Nothing. Nobody said anything and more than 15 people downloaded it before I caught the mistake. 🙃
I created 2 PDFs and one was fillable, the other was not.
I uploaded the non-fillable PDF. If you want the FILLABLE WORKSHEET about 7 steps to build your personal brand, you can grab it here. It's the right version this time. 💖
7 Steps to Building Your Personal Brand (Worksheet by Serena Alfaro).pdf
Are you wondering what the fuss is all about building a personal brand in 2023? In this post, I explain why it’s important and provide you with some tips on how to get started.
Here’s what's covered:
Your personal brand is your unique set of skills, experiences, and attributes that make up who you are as an individual. It’s how you want to be perceived by others and what makes up who you are as a person. Having a strong personal brand is crucial to standing out from the competition and making a lasting impression on employers and clients.
When it comes to building a personal brand, having an online presence is essential in 2023. This includes your website, social media profiles, and other online activities that represent who you are professionally or personally (or both).
In summary, building your personal brand is crucial to your success in 2023. Take some time to think about what makes you unique, and start sharing that with others through your personal brand.
Stay tuned for more tips and tricks on building your personal brand.
Thanks for being here!
xoxo

Hey Reader, First—thank you. After my last email, not only did I get the kindest messages back (you know who you are 💛), but I also gained several new subscribers, which means we're almost at 100 people on this list! That number might feel small to some, but to me? It’s a reminder that showing up—even after a long pause—is always worth it. Over the last few weeks, I’ve been thinking about just how much has changed in the last five years. When I started my jewelry brand, Nueva Luxe, I had no...
Hey Reader, It's been a minute, and I know it. But in my defense—I had a baby! I know, not the best excuse for disappearing, but let me tell you, life has been a wild adjustment. Just the other day, I missed a phone call while putting my daughter to sleep and got a paragraph-long message about how I’m terrible at keeping in touch and probably ignored the call on purpose. Ouch. It’s hard not to take things personally, especially when they feel personal. But the truth is, nothing about this...
Hey Reader, Where have I been?: In my last email, I said I was back. I was back from Europe, but then I disappeared again. I owe you a massive apology for my radio silence. Life has been a rollercoaster lately, and I'm here to explain what's been up. I have exciting news to share – I'm going to be a mom! Baby is on the way, due in February, and I'm on cloud nine. Truthfully, I'm on the couch. It's a whole new adventure, and the countdown has officially begun. Over the past few months, I've...
