to not do when starting a personal brand okay we didn't leave our corporate jobs to
work from home to work all day every day hi i am martha krejci and here's my dog herman
i'm a business strategist that's teaching families how to build ten thousand dollar a month plus

a big thumbs up click the subscribe button and the bell so you do not miss a thing all you have to do
is do a quick google search on personal branding and you're gonna see you should do this you should
do this and a lot of it doesn't matter right i mean let's just be real a lot of it doesn't matter
again three things to avoid avoid don't do when starting a personal brand so you guys know i'm
all about personal brand number one three things to avoid when starting a personal brand number one
looking at other people's stuff stop looking at other people's stuff not stop looking at
other people's stuff to support them sure look at other people's stuff and lift them up speak
life over them support them all of that yes of course stop looking at other people's stuff
to validate you stop looking at other people's stuff to wonder if you're doing it right
stop looking at other people's stuff to see if if yours is as pretty as theirs if we're
holding ourself up against somebody else and what they have going on there is no direct comparison
there's no point of direct comparison it's not apples to apples so why are you doing it okay
you're doing it likely because you think think that this person think not know but think that
this person is successful and i need to do what they're doing you need to do what you need to do
you need to focus on your people who you're here to serve your people if you focus on being more
like them you're already showing up outside of your god-given skill set
you're trying to show up as someone else when you were created to be you
there's so much value in you being you i know that people say it all over the place and and it's said
so much that we're almost like yeah yeah i'm here to tell you there is serious
value and your success only lives only lives in the place where you are unashamedly transparently
you that's the only place success lives you cannot be successful being someone else first of all
tell me in the comments you guys if you have succumbed to that stronghold before it's okay
we all have i have but let's just admit it to each other we're building a community here
okay and it's okay to be vulnerable it's okay to say yeah goofed and then all right oops
and then move on right that happened then you just move on you don't beat yourself up
over it you don't say that that defines you as a purpose you're a person you move on right so
tell me in the comments if you've if you've uh succumbed to that stronghold before number two
three things to avoid when starting a personal brand is spending too much money on things you
don't need how about that who else is going to talk about that you know what i'm saying
when i first started my business 10 years ago i oh gosh it was like 11 years ago now
i got to stop saying 10 years ago it ain't true it's 11 now uh but whenever i started my business
however many years ago you know what i'm saying what i did was i went and bought up all the things
i bought all the softwares and all of the things and i'm like here's what i
need they say i need this and they say i need this and they say i need this
here they all are you know buy all the subscriptions okay cool i have them all right
they're all lined up in front of me virtually you know because they're online subscriptions
but they're all essentially lined up in front of me and i'm like ah here's all of my stuff
look at me in my business and how awesome i am just because somebody says that you need a thing
doesn't mean it's actually going to be helpful in your business and that doesn't make them malicious
doesn't make those people malicious it just means that not every business needs all of those tools
and for a personal brand quite frankly we don't really need that many tools
there are a lot of people that will say well you have to run facebook ads no you don't
you have to spend a bunch of money on advertising no you don't
you're gonna have to buy uh you know this funnel software and da da da da all of these things no
you don't let me know in the comments you guys if if you did this in the beginning of your own
journey if you bought all of the softwares and then realized like i don't actually need any of
these there's one software i'm still paying for because i don't know how to cancel it i'm just
gonna be honest with you i pay seven dollars a month to something and i don't know what it is
also i don't know how to cancel it and i think i've had it for about 10 years that's my world so
there's that um okay you guys number three three things to avoid when starting a personal brand
number three is getting new education so you can work there are some people that believe that they
need to get certified in xyz in order to be able to start creating their income streams
now if you're going to be a surgeon yes you should probably get your license or whatever
it is for that right if you're gonna be a lawyer you probably need to pass some tests or something
right but whenever it comes to our personal brand and us showing people how we've overcome
things or making it up easy for other people to overcome things that we have also overcome you
don't need letters behind your name you don't need certifications or any sort of diplomas or
anything for you to be able to help other people get through something that you got through as well
let me release that belief from you right now okay because that belief alone
could be keeping you super small and not allowing you to actually think big and creating this brand
that you can actually you could you could already have income streams around yourself if you could
just stop believing that but what i'm saying is if you've gone through something in your life
and you're showing other people how to get through that you don't need certification to do that
now that said are there things that can help you
that you can put into your toolbox that will make you even better or make it uh
make you more effective in the transformation of those people a hundred percent yes what i'm saying
is that you shouldn't let the certification part of things stop you from beginning
you can begin now in the comments let me know uh what you guys have done if if certification
paralysis has happened to you and if it hasn't happened to you please give somebody
else watching this video advice so in the comments i would love to hear your advice
to people that are feeling certification or knowledge paralysis paralysis that they don't know
enough about a thing i want to hear your guys's advice why do i ask that because we're a community
if you are watching on the youtubes what you're going to want to do is click on the subscribe
button and also the bell so you get notified when new videos come on okay there's new videos on
almost every single day um some of them are live streams and some of them are produced videos that
are just tutorials okay so you want to make sure that you're um subscribed and that you've clicked
the bell or else you're not going to get notified when that stuff comes on if you don't give a rip
then don't worry about it but if you are building your business if you are desiring to build income
streams around yourself and your family you're going to want to make sure that you do that okay
