Build your reputation to earn attention, respect and money

Whether you are employed and looking to climb the corporate ladder, or self-employed looking for clients, or an entrepreneur starting a new business, your success is likely to depend on how well other people think of you, that is, on your reputation. In How to Build Your Reputation Rob Brown gives his definition: “Your reputation is what influences people to think, feel and talk about you the way they do.” If you follow Brown’s advice in his excellent book, you will understand what reputation is, and why it is valuable. You will design the reputation you want to earn the attention, respect and money you deserve. And you will learn how to build, and then preserve, that reputation.

If you get the chance to attend a seminar or workshop run by Rob Brown, grab the opportunity with both hands! He is an exceptional speaker and you will come away with a ton of great ideas for how to build your reputation, develop better relationships and win more business. Better, do what I am doing: read his book, attend a seminar, and read his book again!

It is also refreshing to find a businessman who is not ashamed to mention his Christian faith, in a low-key way, when he writes and speaks, and it is clear that this is the source of his authenticity. I particularly admire his life goal to give away £1 million to godly charitable causes.
