As customers gain  more access to general company information via the Internet, they also develop a  greater demand for details about a business’s founder. That’s why you need to  take the time to craft your reputation in order to create a personal  brand parallel to your company’s brand.

Your personal brand will help you plan for the future. Even if you own your  own firm outright, in an uncertain economy, businesses can and do take major  hits when economic, political and world security shifts occur. Having a strong  brand as founder of the company helps ensure your options and positions you for  possibilities, should you need them in the future.
