    Ahhh consistency, the thing that everyone wants and no one seems to have ;) Except, I think we do. I think we are more consistent than we give ourselves credit for. Let's be kinder and more gentle with ourselves when it comes to accomplishing the goals we set for our lives. Let's look at consistency in a wider context. Instead of asking, “How consistent have I been this week?”  Try asking, “How consistent have I been this year?” Give ourselves grace when we fall short and s support one another when sharing the things in our lives we want to work on. In today's episode, I am talking about consistency: how I've managed to stay consistent with exercise, nutrition, and content creation for my personal brand.

We talk about her journey to discovering herself outside of work; how she left her role at Twitch and accepted a VP position at her dream organization: The San Antonio Spurs. We also discuss “grinding”, leadership, and what she attributes her success to.Katrina says, “There is no reason this should've landed in my lap.” “I was creative about how I reached out to people and resourceful about the skills I proactively learned and added to my toolkit. I think this applies to any industry... if you want it enough, you can find a way to get there.”I share that I am highly impressed by Katrina's determination to ‘do the work.' After all, it takes immense courage to share your story, build a personal website, and put yourself out there. Katrina says, “I believe everyone knows what they can be good at and everyone knows what they want out of life. I think you know exactly what you want.”If you're unsure whether you're ready to do 'that thing', this may be your sign to stop saying sorry, believe in your greatness, and build your personal brand.

    There are four important habits you MUST develop if you want to build a successful personal brand and gain traction on social media. If you're already practicing them, I'm willing to bet that personal branding will come very naturally for you. If you aren't, there's good news: you've still got time. The catch is… you have to be self-aware enough to know which parts of yourself are weaker and underdeveloped.We all have blind spots. The most important thing you can do is be aware of them and make changes to improve yourself. Make no mistake, this is lifelong work. But it's lifelong work we can work on together…and hey, it really does help to be a part of a supportive community like Personal Brand Accelerator.We've heard it time and time again, “My PBA group is what helped me keep going even when I lacked confidence in myself.” Building your personal brand is more than just getting up and running. It takes a lot of hard work and emotional stamina to keep going. This is why we encourage you to lean on the PBA community for knowledge, wisdom, and the support you need to keep going. Without further ado….here are the four habits…HABIT #1: RADICAL SELF-ACCEPTANCEHABIT #2: UNSHAKEABLE SELF-CONFIDENCEHABIT #3: RELENTLESS SELF-DISCIPLINEHABIT #4: REAL SELFLESSNESSJoin the waitlist for Personal Brand AcceleratorGet a One Week Free Trial at Carr Workplaces

    How to Write Good Copy for Your Personal Website

    To write well is one of the greatest challenges people face while building their personal brand. Everything you do for your personal brand involves the practice of writing; i.e, creating Instagram captions, voice over scripts, blog posts, emails, and most importantly, the copy on your personal website. If I had a nickel for every time I heard, “But Anna, I'm just not a good writer, can I hire someone to do it for me?” I would be a very wealthy woman and I still wouldn't hire anyone to do it for you. Here's why:The more you resist writing for your personal brand, the more difficult this process will be for you. Good writing takes you where you want to go. It helps you sell your products and services and attracts the right people and opportunities to your brand. Bottom line: when you write well, you speak well. And speaking well gives you a deeper sense of self-confidence and assurance needed to be successful online. So how does one write well even when they don't feel like it? How do you write copy that sounds like “you” and also positions you as the credible thought leader in your field? It starts with writing the copy for your personal website.

    You might be afraid to build your personal brand for fear you aren't “expert” enough. Perhaps you  assume that a deep level of professional expertise is a prerequisite for creating content on social media. Without one, someone might mistake you for an influencer. Gasp! ;) Listen, I understand. You may have a story you want to share with others, but if you don't have any real level of professional expertise, is it pointless to build a personal brand? Absolutely not. Take heart in knowing you don't have to share educational content on social media to have a credible personal brand. Everyone has to start somewhere. If you're a person who wants to serve others, share what's true for you, and tap that creativity muscle, you will find immense joy and satisfaction from creating content consistently and engaging with an audience who is interested in who you are and what you do. It may just be easier than you think. Here's what to keep in mind while you discover your purpose and build your personal brand.https://www.annavatuone.com/https://personalbrandaccelerator.com/@annavatuone@personalbrandaccelerator
