If you're a personal stylist, image consultant, hairdresser, makeup artist, or entrepreneur in the beauty industry how do you stand out from everyone else who offers the same type of service? Last week I talked about the importance of personal branding. To set yourself apart in your industry, it's helpful to engage in self-reflection and analysis of your skills, experiences, and the market landscape. If you're ready to begin building your personal brand here are some questions to consider:
1. Unique Strengths and Talents
What unique skills or talents do I possess that are rare in my industry?
What past experiences have shaped my abilities and perspective in a way that differs from others?
2. Passions and Interests
What aspects of my work do I feel most passionate about?
How can I integrate my personal interests or hobbies into my professional life?
3. Market Needs and Gaps
What are the current trends and challenges in my industry?
Are there unmet needs or gaps in the market that I can address?
4. Value Proposition

How can I communicate this value clearly and effectively?
5. Personal and Professional Brand
What kind of professional reputation do I want to build?

6. Continual Learning and Development
What new skills or knowledge can I acquire to stay ahead in my field?
