Show notes:
1. Figure out what your personal brand is by getting a journal and write down things that excited you for at least 10 minutes per day and this will help show you a pattern of what you are good at.
2. Enhance your personal brand by going out and reading 5 books and implement one idea from each book. Start small and be consistent.
3. Unlearn almost everything you have learned if you want to make it. Change your thought patterns.(16:03)
