Personal branding is about GIVING !! Very well said

[JozelleTech]

I like how comfortable you are in this video. You look so calm and relaxed. More branding videos, please! 😁

Quick suggestion, please add up the videos you are mentioning on your cards so your audience can go straight to that specific video instantly. Those videos deserve more views!! Few of my favorites ❤

Great advice, thanks! Like many creatives, i become paralysed expecting perfection from my own branding / website. The consequence is i never really get started.. Inspired to get something out there

[oserefemhenativie]

Thanks a lot Philip! I especially like the part on "giving", because I have realized that it is what really enables us to find those that need our help.

Very important like you said to give, give, give. Providing value is so important.

Thank you for another fantastic video! Some of these elements I already have in place; now my main thing is to put in the work over time.

Thank you! That's inspiring and a great advice! I'm 25 now, working as a Junior Art Director and just started building my personal brand. I posted two videos on YouTube for young creative talents. They learn what to do after school and how they achieve their goal to be successful in the creative business. During the next weeks I'm going to translate my videos via subtitles to make my content available for international people. Right now it’s only in German! You are a great inspiration and with your videos I learn what to do next!

Thank you so much for all the videos you make Phillip! These tips and tricks videos always show me something that I didn't know before. As someone trying to pursue a career in corporate finance and asset management, it is crucial that I am showing the best version of myself at all times to possible employers. Your videos help guide me with this exactly and I always look forward to coming back to your channel to learn. Keep up the great work!
