Power Organization + Hajj E. Flemings, originally uploaded by Hajj Flemings.
My mission is ‘To inspire 1 million people to live a life of significance.’ This past Saturday between speaking at Pod Camp Michigan and preparing to speak to the Detroit Lions, I spoke at The Power Organization Boy’s Conference in Auburn Hills, MI, November 8, 2008. It was a very rewarding experience. One of the greatest benefits of developing a strong personal brand is the ability to influence and impact lives.
People that I admire and follow who are changing lives:
o Hill Harper, Author of ‘Letters to a Young Brother’ Follow him on Twitter @HillHarper
o Kevin Carroll, Author of ‘Rules of the Red Ball’ www.kevincarrollkatalyst.com
o Scott Harrison, Founder of Charity: Water www.charitywater.org Follow him on Twitter @ScottHarrison
Food for thought on what Personal Branding is:
o Personal Branding is a tool that helps an individual to develop a platform but doesn’t make them a leader.
o Personal Branding is a tool that helps you to define your voice but doesn’t mean you are being heard.
As you develop your personal brand think about the bigger picture. Life is not about you, but about the lives that you change.
Great post Hajj. I really like your closing sentence about your personal brand not being about you, but about the lives you change. So true.

Thanks for inspiring participants (youth and adults) with your purpose, passion, and creativity! They clearly understand that following a dream involves determination and leaving a “memorable” mark with every step that they take (verbally, visually, intellectually, and physically). Your realistic conversation with our young audience set the stage for them to travel along their personal roads, rather than being followers. Thanks for the awesome presentations and autographed copies of the Brand YU Life!
