[...] I have blogged about a number of books that I’ve read. I think it would be cool to make some money from promoting those books but I have not, even though I know many of you have bought some of them. I still think that every single person should read Never Eat Alone, Brag! and Career Distinction. I always promote those because they each helped me immensely – but here’s my dirty little secret – I rarely buy books… my local library is just too good and I read too many books to be able to afford them.

[...] The premise of the book is something like (in my own words) “what happens when people Google your name?” Or your product, or your service, or brand, or company name?Â For a quick and fun test, try this free online identity calculator by the folks behind Career Distinction (the bible of personal branding). If you get no results, it’s probably not good. [...]

[...] For me, the hardest thing to do is come up with lasting, on-brand responses. I strongly recommend Brag! by Peggy Klaus and Career Distinction by William Arruda and Kirsten Dixson. Of course, some of you will need coaching to really do a whiz-bang job. Don’t hesitate to look up one of my partners (you can see a partial list here, the ones that are certified brand strategists) to get expert coaching. [...]

Got the book – and more than one. Hi Jason, thanks for the kind words and awesome partnership with JibberJobber.com. You and those who reviewed the book are right on target. (Check out my review on amazon.com.) I am giving this book to my personal branding clients as part of their program, they are loving it. Especially the online workbook filled with exercises that complement the chapters in the book. Take action! Brand now!

Thanks! to Jason, I have read Career Distinction! Every Professional needs to read and do what this book teaches! With Personal Branding you will stand out like a red polk-a-dot egg in a nest of white eggs! The white eggs are like Myron Morrison which is John Waynes real name!

Hi Jason! Great post!

This is a great book because William and Kirsten really get career management as well as personal branding! I not only see it as an â€˜instant classicâ€, but also (as I stated in my Amazon review) a new standard!

I too am a new personal branding strategist and pleased to hear that you will soon be certified!

Best wishes.

P.S., Thanks for linking to my Career Distinction review at my blog.

Glad to hear everyone excited about the book! I am also a certified brand strategist through Reach and am SO EXCITED to see this book hit the shelves. I have read other books on branding and while they’re good and do give some action steps – this provides a step by step action oriented “how to” in extracting, expressing and exuding your authentic brand. I was so “sold” on William’s system and Kirsten’s expert knowledge of on-line branding that I recently certified through their program and am excited that they’ve shared their insights and resources through this book.

@Dan – cool Now, if I could just get a buck for every book that I “sell” through a review!

@Deb – I’m sure you won’t be disappointed. William and Kirsten have a few of your client stories in there, and I felt I got to know you better professionally just by peeking into your work life (and successes).

I can’t wait to read this book — it’s been on my “must read” list since I heard of it as a mere idea of William’s a number of years ago–and now that he’s partnered with Kirsten and her on-line identity expertise I’m even more jazzed.

I’ve seen first hand the AMAZING power of personal branding on even the most successful executives. And to have a book that now brings that potential to the career managing public is very exciting!

I’m happy to read your strong endorsement, Jason. And I agree that the “best seller gurus” say that purchasing it on June 12 is important. So I’m waiting one last day…
