IS PERSONAL BRANDING IMPORTANT FOR AN ENTREPRENEUR?

Seasoned entrepreneurs know that success depends upon the product, but it also depends upon them, their personal brand, & their credibility. The personal brand is important not only for bringing in new customers but also for attracting talent & for success in establishing beneficial partnerships.
