When I was in kindergarten and first grade, I refused to color inside the lines. My teachers tried everything they could to get me to hit that damn “developmental goal.” They wanted to check that box.

During parent-teacher conferences, those teachers would express concerns to my parents. But, my mom would always push back.

You see, my mom loved that I didn’t color between the lines. When the teachers displayed the kids' drawings on the wall, she could always tell which drawing was mine. My drawing stood out. It was unique.

My drawings represented me and only me.

Here’s the point.

Personal Branding experts like me will give you how-to guides. You’re going to read blog posts on building your personal brand. You’ll find content that has a step-by-step process.

Follow their tips and instructions. But… And this is a big ole booty…

You are unique. You are custom-made. There is only one of you in the world.

Your goal. Your personal brand. It’s screaming to stand out from everyone else.

So, learn from those guides and steps.

But, for the love of all things pigs in a blanket...color outside those damn lines!
