Now a Wall Street Journal bestseller. What if the games we played
as children were the greatest gift to helping us achieve more
today? Before stage fright, impostor syndrome, emotional baggage,
and the other dubious gifts of adulthood, everyone pretended to be
a superhero, a favorite athlete, an inspiring entertainer, a nurse,
a firefighter, a lion, or whatever else captured our imaginations.
And yet, that natural creativity is slowly squeezed out of us
because we think it's childish or it's "time to grow up." Now Todd
Herman-backed by scientific research and countless stories from the
real world-will show us how to tap into the human imagination to
unleash new versions of ourselves, ready-made to kick ass. Herman
has been coaching champions in every field for over twenty years,
and he's helped them bring out their Heroic Self to transcend the
forces pulling them into the Ordinary World. Anyone attempting
ambitious things faces adversity, resistance, and challenges, but
Herman confronts these obstacles with a question: Who or what needs
to show up to make success inevitable? In The Alter Ego Effect,
Herman presents countless stories from salespeople, executives,
entertainers, athletes, entrepreneurs, creatives, and historical
figures to illustrate how to activate the Heroic Self already
nested inside each of us. And he reveals that we may not be using
those traits in the moments when we need them the most. From the
creative entrepreneur who resisted their craft, to the accomplished
military officer who wanted to be a warmer dad at home, Todd
Herman's clients have discovered there is no end to the parts of
their lives they could improve by using Alter Egos.

Yes, It's Possible to Build a Business around Your Expertise,
Ideas, Message, and Personality. But First You Need to Realize -
YOU ARE THE BRAND.It's no secret that more people than ever before
are building thriving businesses around their personal brands. But
why do some create six- or even seven-figure businesses while so
many others strive to make a consistent income? Much of the
personal brand space plays out in two ways. The first group of
people sells a false version of themselves, thinking that image or
perception alone will get them the results they seek. These folks
don't realize that attention isn't owed, it's earned. The flip side
of presenting a false version of yourself is oversharing in the
name of authenticity. They talk nonstop about their issues,
sometimes revealing way more than what is even comfortable to read
about. It's as if these people are trying to sell their struggles,
and it doesn't work in the long run. Like a car wreck, these folks
garner attention, but it's short-lived. Here's a simple question
that can serve as a litmus test for you: "Can I build a campfire
around what I'm sharing?" Is there warmth? Are you building
something that is attractive and inviting to others? Can you build
a community around it? Are you someone whom others want to invite
onto their stages, in front of their employees, or into their
lives? In You Are the Brand, Mike Kim shares his proven 8-step
blueprint that has helped build the brands for some of today's most
influential thought leaders - as well as his own personal brand. In
this practical and inspiring book, you will learn: How to identify
and showcase your unique expertise How to gain clarity on your
message, market, and business model Why the most effective
marketing strategy is to simply tell the truth How-To-Preneur vs.
Ideapreneur - Which one are you? The three kinds of personal
stories that ensure you stand out in your market The simple "9-Box
Grid" that shows you how to price your products and services How to
cultivate "rocket ship relationships" that skyrocket your revenue,
and influence
