Great post, I have been struggling with the decision on how to separate my private and professional life for a while. But I kept coming back to the same questions every time “Should i separate them?, How much should my personal and professional life be combined and how much of that should I share even, to a potential employer? And to resolve the issue or at least in my head, any social media that i subscribe to, i make sure that i have two, one professional and one personal…not the smartest way of dealing with it. But being in the job market and as competitive as it is and also with the added pressure of Hiring Managers requesting your username for your Facebook/Twitter or LinkedIn it does pose some challenges to creating a true personal brand.

I reckon I’m going to take a blogging holiday! I owe myself more time! It’s funny reading this post, ’cause I have actually been thinking about this a LOT lately, even convinced my wife and a few of my friends to join the blogging world. My wife works from home, which can get a bit lonely, so she’s loving the ‘social interaction’ of blogging. Lots of fun and excitement ahead! :) DEFINITELY NOT a waste of time!

As I have been managing my own business and personal Twitter accounts, it seems like my personal one is favored and my business one is neglected. It may be time for me to merge…

Damn Lisa, you’re good! You indeed have flair, and I love reading this stuff. Slowly, I am figuring out how to implement some of this. Will be trying to do more so as I create a separate site for the speaking classes I hope to offer in the fall. Know anyone who hates public speaking? :)
Thanks for all you do!

Now get over yourself and get started. And this is the best part about Lisa Barone! I do believe that personal branding is necessary no matter if you are a owner of social media company or you have the restaurant at the highway… getting out and interact with customers and fans is not extra ordinary it’s the part of your job… this is what you are doing for living… it can be done best if you doing it with fun…and learn from your mistakes…

Building a brand for myself is not a new concept for me, but a concept that I knew I had to develop in order to achieve the level of success that I’m striving for. Branding ones self is as important now for people looking for work as well as online entrepreneurs. If you are serious about your business then using the various social media as part of your marketing tactic is very necessary. I found this blog on twitter so, it proves that using social media works.

Good post, should be a kick in the nuts for some people that can’t get over the privacy thingy. It’s like real life, you take time to go have a drink with friends at 5@7, social online is no different.

Awesome post! I was just discussing this very topic with a couple of friends of mine, recently laid off, and they just couldn’t see the reason to do it. I think they just don’t know how or don’t want to take the time to do it correctly. It drove me crazy that these friends of mine were dogging on people who were building their brand and following their dreams. It frustrated me so much, I was compelled to write a branding post of my own.

Thanks for the great article. I’ll keep following!
