Here’s the deal! People not only remember what you say and how you make them feel, but they remember how you look too.
Your image is your brand. You are your brand and your brand is you. No matter what you do in life, your image matters.
We often speak of businesses having images. Well they do, but so do you.
Personal image has been known to disqualify you from a job or a promotion and even the type of opportunities you are presented with. For example, Beyonce has been very good at building a personal and profitable image. People buy her clothes, her music, her books and spend hundreds to attend her concert just to get that experience. She’s even got a fan club called the Beyhive. Beyonce and other notable musicians and entertainers have taken image to heart and started to use it to uplevel their personal and professional lives. You too have the same opportunity.
Don’t fear being different. Fear being the same.
In business, an image is why people buy or not and even refer. People like to be associated with an image. It makes them feel notable, established and having a sense of arriving at a certain level. For instance, name brand merchandise is attributed to a certain financial clout, i.e., Range Rover, Michael Kors. These brands have a targeted market that keeps their image alive.
Why is it important to have a personal image?
1. It validates who you are.
2. It denotes how you feel about yourself.
3. It gives clarity as to what you value in your life.
