Using your name wisely

without comments

Des Walsh, the doyen of Aus­tralian Blog­ging, is now using his strongest brand: his name.

Your par­ents give you a name. Most people live with this name for the rest of their life. Unless you are Regin­ald Ken­neth Dwight, now Sir Elton Her­cules John, CBE. (Oh, there’s a whole Psy­chi­atry con­fer­ence in that name change alone!)

As alpha blog­gers and all suc­cess­ful people know: all you really own is your name. This is the label to your repu­ta­tion. Own it, defend it, mar­ket it.

Suc­cess­ful blog­ging is com­posed of authen­tic per­sonal voice, from you under­neath your name. Use it wisely.
