My Personal Branding Mentors

catur pw — Sun, 27 Dec 2009 19:25:38 +0000

I thing that the most difficult thing to learn is to learn about your-self, to know what do you want exactly, to understand what you need, and to describe what you want.

But as you know, it all about you and by your own perceptions.
And talking about “personal branding”, your own perceptions is not the most important, because “It’s not What You Say, It’s What They Say about You”, the most important now is their perceptions.

I love learning more about personal branding, creating a personal branding matrix for all my goals, etc.
I always think that i’am a student of personal branding, i learn and learn more from my personal branding mentors.

Bob Sadino Gila!

catur pw — Sat, 07 Mar 2009 18:15:42 +0000

Spontan, no-strategy, just take action!

Baru kali ini saya bertemu dengan Bob Sadino. Sosok personal brand yg unik dan nyleneh. Banyak pemikirannya yang cenderung terbalik dengan common people.

Berawal dari jualan Telur dari pintu ke pintu, pengusaha sukses Kemfood dan Kemchick ini hadir di Milad TDA ke-3 untuk sharing tentang entrepeneurship.
Pada awal sharing, beliau berulang kali menyatakan bahwa untuk bisa “nyambung” sharing dengan om Bob (panggilan akrab Bob Sadino), otak kita musti dipindah ke “dengkul”, weladalah… edyan tenan (gila, jawa*red).

“Ya mungkin saya memang gila” ujar Om Bob

“Kalau anda masih mengandalkan pemikiran hasil kuliahan, bakalan susah memahami pemikiran saya. Makanya sebelum ngobrol bareng saya, tolong otak anda dipindah kedengkul dahulu, biar nyambung dengan saya”

Pengusaha sukses di bidang pertanian dan peternakan ini memang serba spontan dalam menjalankan strategy bisnisnya, bahkan om Bob bilang bahwa dalam berbisnis dia tidak pernah pake strategy, yg penting “action” melangkah kedepan.

“Hidup saya tanpa rencana dan tanpa target. Buku-buku di sekolah sudah meracuni pikiran Anda”

Bingung ga tuh? Tanpa rencana, tanpa target, … kok bisa sukses luar biasa??

Setelah lebih dari satu jam mendengar sharing Om Bob, akhirnya beliau membeberkan
Langkah-langkah menuju entrepreneur sukses, sebagai berikut:
- Bangun kemauan yg keras
- Tekad yg kuat
- Berani mengambil keputusan yg tepat
- Tahan banting dan Tidak Cengeng menghadapi cobaan
- dan yang paling penting adalah, Bersyukur dan Ikhlas selalu kepada Alloh SWT.

“kelemahan banyak orang adalah terlalu banyak berpikir membuat rencana sehingga tidak segera melangkah”

Well… it’s all make sense.
Thanks Om Bob, atas sharing ilmunya, then finally i know why he always wear a short pant everywhere, “to colling-down his brain”… ( just kidding Om Bob )

Personal Brand Measurement

catur pw — Wed, 30 Jul 2008 04:22:40 +0000

Can you tell me how many people named “John” in this world?
Is your name “John” too? Is your neighbor named “John”? OMG. And how about at school? how many “John” are there?

So how can i found the correct information about you? Of course i’m googling it!
And you will surprise how many “John” i find out at word wide world searching.

There is a cool way to measure your personal brand at world wide web. It connect the volume and relevance of your online ID by William Arruda and Kirsten Dixson, Authors,
Career Distinction: Stand Out by Building Your Brand

Digitally Dissed
Information about you: less
Brand image relevancy: not relevant
Negative Brand image: some negative image

Digitally Disastrous
Information about you: enough
Brand image relevancy: less relevant
Negative Brand image: none

Digitally Dabbling
Information about you: very much
Brand image relevancy: some relevant, some don’t

Digitally Distinct
Information about you: a lot
Brand image relevancy: mostly all relevant

In this digital age, you must decide which face you want to show to the world – Dan Schawbel (personalbrandingblog), so make sure it is relevant with the face that you want to show to the world.

Deliver your correct brand image message: A lesson from “Hancock” movie

catur pw — Fri, 18 Jul 2008 04:42:25 +0000

Any who already watch Hancock movie, will get the red line message on it.
It’s about the important of delivering a correct brand image to public. A bad reputation of Superhero, is totally mess-up message, that does not relate into common superhero brand image.

I already wrote at Kolumnis.com in indonesian language about Hancock Movie, so here i just put my conclusions:

1. Take care your Brand Image, and make sure it is delivering the correct message.

2. Do not under estimate an effect from Social Medias, and other konventional medias (TV, NewsPaper, Radio, etc.), make sure they all in our side for delivering correct brand image message. If they don’t, be quick to create brand image recovery.

So, is your brand image message delivered correctly?
