@Jaana Nyström is a great curator and she just beat me to the punch :). When she shared her EPIC journey of using G+ to move from "nobody" to "somebody" I planned to blog about her amazing journey. The content and message was too good to be trapped in comments.
Read this post CAREFULLY as you may recognize where you are on Jaana's timeline of personal brand development. There are several "inside baseball" tips to pay particular attention to including:
* Don't worry about perfection, start publishing.
* G+ is an AMAZING and vastly under used tool (start there add more social nets later).
* No matter what, keep turning the crank (keep going) since the only sin you and your personal band can't recover from is NOT PLAYING.
Great stuff from an amazing curator. What lessons did you learn from Jaana Nystrom? What similar lessons have you learned as you create a meaningful personal brand?
I usually don't envy people, but I do envy @Jaana Nyström a bit for her energy & passion.

There is only one way to break out of the rat race and eliminate all competing rats - create EPIC Personal Branding. Here's how..
* Create BHAGs NOW!
* Videos and Pictures.
* Think TEAM!
* Use Special SOCIAL Weapons.
* Fail Miserably.
* Give your Skills AWAY FREE.
Follow those hard won secrets, at least one of them tried to kill me several times, and your personal brand will be EPIC, your resume floats to the top and you win the promotion, can afford the G I Joe with the Kung Fu Grip and love the life you create.
Success is failure to failure without loss of enthusiasm.
Internet marketing is all about try, try and try again!
Not everything will work today, maybe it was the wrong type of content, the wrong platform or bad timing.
Don't be focused on the numbers. I've seen many big brands do a post on a platform like Slideshare and only get a few 100's of views. They don't give up they spin the content and use it on a different platform.
There is a right and wrong to internet marketing. The WRONG is never trying or testing your ideas. The RIGHT is have one more viewer than yourself.
Refreshing reading that drives you to (re)think about what you really want in life and be at ease with who you are - upside and downside.

Let's not forget songs were made to tell a story (Barry Manilow is my favorite). Alas, not any more
