4M Personal Branding: The Proven 4 Step Program To Building A Powerful Personal Brand (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781479334681)

The "4M" approach to personal branding provides you with a step-by-step guide to defining, communicating, and monetizing your brand while also looking ahead to ensure an optimum degree of brand flexibility and sustainability.
The 4M's are Market, Message, Money, and Meaning.
Market - Mapping your customers' business and emotional needs into a truly differentiated and effective value proposition
Message - Creating a comprehensive and integrated personal communication strategy that makes the most of online and offline channels
Money - Determining your personal cash flow requirements and differentiation value for profitable engagements and successful salary negotiations
Meaning - Aligning your personal brand with your core values and ensuring future brand elasticity

The first chapter ("Market") focuses on creating a detailed and differentiated value proposition that takes into account your competitive field, personal strengths and history, and customer needs. To get the word out about your brand, the second chapter ("Message") will guide you through creating a unified and comprehensive messaging strategy that makes the most of both familiar and slightly more unusual communication channels. To help you arrive at a credible and defensible pricing strategy for your own personal brand, the third chapter ("Money") will allow you to create your individual "P&L" (profit and loss) statement and calculate the cash value of your differentiation factors. Last but not least, the fourth chapter ("Meaning") will guide you through an in-depth evaluation of your personal brand to make sure it's in alignment with your own sense of meaning, mission, and purpose in life.
