Always remember your personal brand is the only thing that differentiates you from the crowd. The whole thing is going to be easy or challenging, depending on how you approach the entire brand building exercise.
Organize Your Thoughts
Creating your personal brand starts with organizing your thoughts and moving ahead to create a personal brand vision. The way you want others to perceive you, and the manner in which you wish to lead your personal and professional life depends on a large extent to the path you chalk out. Be very careful to inject wholesome personality into your personal brand vision otherwise you would only be able to put across a bland personal front.
Earning Potential
By now you must be really wondering as to the tangible benefits that accrue by undertaking this brand building exercise for none else than your personal self. For one you could find a better career, it could be a better job in Hyderabad or a job in Pune, whereby you could enhance your earning potential, resulting in a happy outlook while you go about your work every day, mind you it is not a small change and it would not be possible without the image makeover. The previous brand state yielded only so much by way of the by now staid workplace with diminishing returns in term of motivation and monetary rewards.
Financial Incentives

An added offshoot is that you are able to grow your professional network, so that more professional opportunities open up for you. Along with real life interaction never undermine the clout and reach of online communities with regards to making available an increased number of professional opportunities.
Push the Envelope

Your brand vision perhaps could be, being the best in your field, where you are consistently pushing the envelope not just for yourself but the clients and other employees as well. You may aspire to use your advanced communications towards making the world a better place then you came across.

To be able to shape up your personal brand in a reasonable fashion you need to be able to tap into the wellspring of your genuine, humane and humble, individual qualities from where your true personality, identity and character find expression and take you on the path of further success.
