Ever since I started my first blog in 2013 I’ve been meaning to build a personal branding site. I’ve always procrastinated on it – and in fact the logo that I got designed for myself was done in, would you believe it 2018. But I never got around to using it, but this year I wanted to change that.
So I made some changes in 2022 and focused on making myself more accountable and joined a few groups to try and make some “trusted friends”. In the end the group that’s been working for the past few months up to writing has been the Wannabe Entrepreneurs – run by Tiago. I started listening to Tiago’s Wannabe Entrepreneurs Podcast in late 2021 and it clicked with me, so I joined his Co-Working group and started to engage with the Slack group.
Seeing what others were doing all on their own, some full time and others like me working in-between a full-time job and a side hustle gave me a lot of motivation. Eventually 2022 came around and the group started to share 2022 goals. Then it hit me that I should to and use the opportunity to get them to keep me accountable – I wasn’t sharing in public as it’s a paid group but there are enough super helpful people that it was going to keep me on plan.
This Personal Branding site was one of those goals!

Why is it Worth Having a Personal Branding Site?
I wanted to build something that was a central point for people to come and see some of the exciting things that I’m working on. Now I know a personal branding site probably isn’t that amazing to you but for me it’s to help me challenge the more reserved side of myself. It’s to get out there and show what I’ve been working on, to get over that imposter syndrome and to celebrate the little successes I have as I go along my personal journey.
I’m hoping over time as I continue to develop it, it can become a place where people get in touch with me, schedule things, and for a place where fingers crossed I can sell some products – watch this space!
What’s Going to be Published on Here?
They’ll be a number of things on here that may interest you (or not!). Firstly the basics – I’ll be sharing a bit about me, my networks and how to contact me. So if you end up here you can find the information that you probably want to find!
Secondly, I’m trying to commit to a monthly blog post about how things are going with the 2022 Goals, but also the things that are going on in the background and I’m sure some of my own musings!
As I said I hope that the site eventually develops into other things, but I just want to make some small steps at first! Feel free to have a look at my goals and the updates here:
What I Won’t Be Covering on My Personal Branding Site
In general I keep my family life out of social media, I like having some boundaries between what I’m working on and life at home – it just makes thinks easier. I might share a few highlights on Twitter but in general you won’t see them here.
I don’t tend to have too many updates from my 9-5 job, but if I do I tend to share those on LinkedIn.
