Thanks for the comment Dan. I agree, instant gratification isn't
often rewarded in the online space. It takes a lot of time to reap
the rewards. Which is a good thing - if it was easy it wouldn't be
such a differentiator.

By the way, I really enjoy everything you have to write on the subject
and appreciate everything you share. You will definitely be mentioned
regularly at my talk. Thanks for leading the way and sharing
everything you know about personal branding - it has helped me a ton.

Thanks again for stopping by!

Thanks for the comment Jeff. You're right - it's probably the biggest
variable as some people see success in what seems like overnight while
others can toil away for years without any breakthroughs. I think you
have to set some goals that you'd like to reach based on your efforts
in a set period of time and then measure from that. It can be
anything you think is valuable - get 100 RSS subscribers, talk at a
seminar, get published or quoted in another publication (online or
off), etc. Setting these milestones can give you a road map and some
positive reinforcement along the way.

Just my 2 cents.

Thanks Nick. I agree. Putting it all together consistently is a key part as well. Once people know what to expect from you they become regular participants in the discussion and help you spread your message – which is all part of the equation.

Thanks for the comment and great to see you at BlogWorld as always!

Morgan, great post on personal branding. Commitment is a word that doesn't get mentioned enough, yet without a commitment to your brand, no one will take you seriously and you wont' be successful. Good luck at your seminar.

Commitment is such a tough variable. 2 months? 10 years? No doubt: the longer, the better.
