Module Summary
Leveraging Kaizen
The Japanese principle of “Kaizen”, or continuous improvement, teaches us that small, ongoing positive changes can reap significant improvements. You’ve likely seen the “get 1% better each day” memes across social media or have read about it in a Jade Bonacolta blog. This is because Kaizen is simply the most powerful factor of personal branding. Applying Kaizen to personal branding, we understand that the journey to mastery begins with a single, albeit imperfect, step forward. And from this imperfect step forward, we learn to take the next step, and the next, and the next… until it compounds into a million dollars. We want our brand and our content to be perfect before we begin but it’s not about achieving perfection on the first try. Kaizen teaches us to embrace the process of consistent, incremental change. And, through this incremental change, we win. In this module you will learn how to leverage Kaizen to tackle the blank cursor, defeat procrastination, and begin the journey.

Introduction
Personal Branding Masterclass

Before you can overcome your fear, you need to understand where it comes from. Is it a past experience that didn’t go as planned? Is it the pressure of living up to others’ expectations? Identifying the source can help you address and eliminate it more effectively.

We often remember things being worse than they actually were.

Using this insight to reframe your perspective will disrupt the loop.

Exercise:

Write down situations in your memory where you felt rejected or failed. Next to each, note what the outcome was and how you responded.

Often, you’ll find the consequences weren’t as bad as you thought. 

These situations all showed resilience, not weakness.

Keep this in mind as you write.
