Hi all,
What i am gonna talk about is not necessarily seen as entrepreneurship by others. However, after trying to run my own company, I've come to a different definition of entrepreneurship for myself. So that it covers creating a personal brand and taking it from there.
I am being employed in a niche market for a small company. I would like to create a personal brand for myself so that people from the industry know if they have any questions related to my specialization, they should talk to me. I started doing it by running regular related posts from my linkedin profile. For my posts I use publicly available data without touching any confidential data of my employer.
Does anyone have a similar experience/tips how to most efficiently create a personal brand while being employed?
Thanks a lot!
It is a challenging part to become self employed when you are working full time. But surely achievable with the right efforts. Here is a great article on Forbes about how to build personal brand while working on a full time job: https://www.forbes.com/sites/blakemorgan/2015/07/06/5-ways-to-build-a-personal-brand-while-working-full-time/2/#52459b1611b7

Thanks!
Building my personal brand actually helps my company too: it attracts some potential customers to it.
My idea is that if clients need some advice on wine chemistry related issues they can refer to me and, in case some lab measurements have to be involved, they refer to my company. So, it's win/win.
PS they are actually quite supportive for my initiative, since they understand it drives attention to what we are doing
