The short answer is no. The long answer is \\u201cmaybe a little.\\u201d
\\nPersonal Brand is an incredibly personal topic. After all, you\\u2019re choosing how you plan to project yourself to the world, personally and professionally.
\\nAnd while I wouldn\\u2019t say I like the idea of someone basing their personal brand off someone else\\u2019s, there\\u2019s nothing wrong with being inspired by how someone else has built theirs.
\\nAfter all, I have lifted a lot of inspiration from Justin Welsh and bits and pieces from several other women and men who express themselves in a way that I resonate with.
\\nThere is a danger of losing yourself in someone else\\u2019s narrative.
\\n
    \\n
  • When you don\\u2019t define your values, you inherit theirs
  • \\n
  • When you don\\u2019t refine your voice, you mimic theirs
  • \\n
  • When you don\\u2019t have a goal in mind, you may end up copying theirs
  • \\n
\\n
Let\\u2019s drill down on those dangers a little more.
