When Do You Let ‘You’ Become A Brand?
My friend and colleague told me this year she decided to be just herself online. No more hiding or pretending and if someone does not like it well then that is ok too. I told her I admired the bravery of her hell be damned attitude as I am not sure I would feel comfortable doing the same.
