You personal brand (Big Deal Energy™️) is what you believe about yourself and sometimes you need to give yourself perspective, along with a visual.

Surround yourself with the powerful words, the encouragement.

It’s your constant reminder you are fierce, worthy and a motherf*cking badass.

Being a young professional in a competitive market is tough…but it isn’t impossible. Your personal brand (Big Deal Energy™️)Your network is your net worth, and there are no shortcuts to building one – so leave ChatGPT and Claude out of it.

Emulate the leaders. Learn from those who have gone before. Stalk the people in the industry or job you want and study how they did it. They have a playbook they followed, learn from it, and then go forth and do.

You are only as good as your network and personal brand, so I’d suggest you build one.

After a very busy week, cabin time was very needed. Thankful for this slice of peace on 20 acres in Luther.

Every time I think about selling it, cause life is too busy, I remember why I bought it 9 years ago. This. It’s important to go away, find your happy place and tell everything else to f*ck off. Protect your time, no one else will.
