The weather has been good these past few days. I go out to exercise at 5:30 in the morning and I always feel refreshed! Such good weather is not only great for exercising and sweating, but also perfect for studying with a group of good friends.

At two o’clock in the afternoon, I was invited by the editor-in-chief of Booker Culture [Jia Junguo] (https://www.facebook.com/daniel.vivi) to give a live broadcast titled “The Creator’s Path to [Personal Brand] (https://www.yottau.com.tw/course/intro/982?act=notredirect#intro)”. The guests attending the conference were all writers with publishing experience and experts from all walks of life. On the one hand, I felt honored, but naturally I also felt a little scared.

I gave this sharing session a subtitle, “Post-Epidemic Era: Tests and Opportunities for Creators.” I think everyone can understand it after reading it. Indeed, at the moment when the COVID-19 epidemic is raging, it will undoubtedly have a huge impact on all walks of life. Not only are those in the hotel, tourism and catering industries the first to bear the brunt, but writers and lecturers are also under a severe test.

I am reminded of the famous saying of former British Prime Minister Winston Churchill: “Never let a good crisis go to waste!” I also use these words to encourage all friends who are watching the live broadcast.

In fact, for creators, I think this period is a great opportunity for us to take a deep dive, calmly do some self-inventory and positioning, and then polish our personal brand. In this sharing session, I also recommend that you use pen and paper or sticky notes to take stock of your skills, strengths, and resources.

This also reminds me of a new book that will be published recently, “0 Seconds to Explain!” telecommute! Immediately effective “paper-based” presentation techniques: Work From Home’s “Silent Achievement” Presentation Bible》. Well, don’t be intimidated by such a long title. Simply put, the author of this book, Taku Asada, teaches you to use the “one piece of paper” management technique to organize and refine your ideas. In addition to helping you quickly grasp the key points of your work, it can also help others understand at a glance in a short time, improving the efficiency of communication.

A handy blank sheet of paper for all work situations. This is also the goal that I strive to promote in the “I love taking notes” community. I hope that everyone can make good use of pen and paper or digital note-taking tools in various scenarios such as business development, meetings, proposals, and generating ideas.

By making good use of pen and paper, you can shorten the discussion time and quickly grasp the key points. As the author of this book says: With just a piece of paper, you can easily sort out information and summarize ideas! For those who are interested, I recommend that you purchase “0 Second Instructions!” telecommute! A “sheet of paper” presentation technique that is immediately effective: Work From Home’s “Silent Achievement” Presentation Bible” for reference.

Closer to home, when it comes to personal brand, I believe everyone is familiar with it. You can regard it as a form of self-packaging, or it can be the practice of life value; simply put, it is to live the way you want.

So, how should we build personal brand? If you happen to be a creator, how do you go about it? I would like to share with you some methods that you can implement immediately through the following video. I hope you will like it.
