Be Inspired! But don't copy!

My #content was stolen. [Why am I not happy about it?]

By a Director, Solutions and Services of a computer hardware company that’s also into Doc imaging. The Director is based in California & handles the marketing for the company.

I first received a #LinkedIn request from this person. I accepted. Then after a while, this copying happened.

I am not a guru on #PersonalBranding. But that didn’t stop me from sharing what I knew on the subject.

The first three points I wrote:

  1. How do you want to be perceived?
  2. What should people remember when they think of you?
  3. What do you stand for?

And the Director wrote:

How do you want people to perceive you?

How do you want to be remembered?

What do you want your name to be synonymous with?

What a clever lift?

Escaping Google’s punishment. 🙂

Quotes:

  1. “I don’t worry about people “copying” me. Their next move can’t happen until I make mine.” -Germany Kent
  2. “Imitation is the sincerest form of flattery that mediocrity can pay to greatness.” – Oscar Wilde

My advice to this person:

  1. Please be yourself.
  2. Don’t try to be me.
  3. You can’t be me.
  4. Find the real meaning of “copywriting”.

What’s more: This person is writing a book on Personal Branding that is likely to be published soon on #Amazon.

Happy Creating!!
