You have heard the old saying, “if a tree falls in a forest and no one is around to hear it, does it really make a sound?” The same thing is true about your brand. You can do all of the work to put it down on paper and be thoughtful about your actions and your choices. But, if no one is hearing about it, nobody knows about you. The final step in the Lead With Your Brand system is Promote Yourself, that is, how do you get the word out about yourself and your brand.
