Every feel like there’s a disconnect between who you are and what your brand says about you? I think personal branding is one of THE most important areas you can work on – regardless of your business.

Because unlike businesses you may start, sell or shutdown, your personal brand will stay with you forever. So you may as well work on getting it right and representing your true sense of self.[TSE 71] Embrace Your Style and Get a Personal Brand Makeover with Sarah Ancalmo

And if you’re looking to align your personal brand and your current business(es), then you’re looking for Sarah Ancalmo, expert of styling and branding over at Public Persona.

During my book tour this year, I noticed that my personal style no longer matched up with the person I really was and the professionalism and ‘big girl panties’ I now wore in my business.  Living out of a suitcase can do that to you, but I also knew that I wanted to invest in myself and my look, and that’s when I found the lovely Sarah.

While people don’t typically think to hire a stylist because it doesn’t seem immediately relevant to creating more revenue, there is so much more to understand.

Not only does Sarah revamp your closet, but she revamps your mindset about your brand, your business, and how you present yourself to the world. What’s more, she’s taken a traditionally offline business and melded it with an online model that she’s seen bring her great success and a much wider reach.

Dive in to this podcast episode to learn how you can start transforming your style and ultimately the brand of your business right away.

Here is what you will learn in this podcast:

  • How her lack of confidence led her to building her personal brand

  • Which key insight moved her to starting her own business that you might have experienced

  • Her process for identifying her ideal client and how that helped her create services that served their needs

  • How working with Sarah made an impact on my business with branding

  • The importance of understanding your style and how that knowledge conveys your message to the world with greater clarity

  • Four questions to ask yourself to start discovering your style

  • Three things you can do today to improve your image and mindset with a mini makeover

  • How Sarah has continued to build her business online even though her business is traditionally offline
