Hi,
I am excited to share that today I have taken a small but the first step on my branding journey.
How Does It Happen?
Today I got my mentor’s latest post (Proud to say his name: he is Deepak Kanakaraju) in my email. Its title is so attention-seeking that I can’t resist reading the whole article in bed in the morning only.
After reading the whole I replied to him. When I ended my thoughts I re-read and found that OMG! It’s an article that I have written .. woww.. my blog post is ready for today. (IT’S SO NATURAL)
what have I written is what I like to share in its original form from my mail. It was like I am talking to him directly. I started relating and expressing myself publicly for the first time. This realized me that I took the first step toward my brand. Here is the reply…I have sent it to my Boss. We call him DD.
Hi DD
This is the first time I am writing like this on social media publicly. It’s only and only because of your THIS article.[His article, titled: Deepti Chaudhry is selfish?] haha hahaha. Yes, you read it right.
I was not using social media much… But I have logged in now to many media accounts because this internship is teaching me how can make sense of social media accounts. Now I know that I am not wasting my time and energy unnecessarily on the media.
I used to read almost all your emails but today’s mail is something special, at least for me: Reasons…
When I woke up I generally saw notifications on the phone screen but hardly open a few vv urgent and rest all I read later when I start my work after bathing and breakfast.
when reading today’s subject of your mail: Deepti Chaudhry is selfish? I can’t resist myself and read that in bed only
Learning: Such an attention-seeking title. Trying to learn the way you write… It is an assertive sentence but has a question mark also😀
Your few lines like I do not agree with this
Honor means nothing without personal satisfaction and fulfillment.
Your life will be very simple and easy if you care about only one commitment — your future self.
I just mentioned these lines because I found an absolutely crystal clear thought in this article. Generally, when we read such types of topics or listen to motivational speakers mostly that seems like a diplomatic speech 😁.. a middle-path kind of thing. Sometimes a clear way to go is required but we don’t take that because that is tough.
For me, you are a mentor in many ways. When I read the lines of your 20s and 30s…I gained my confidence back. As I worked hard, hard and hard but no satisfaction, as I was not able to earn according to my efforts. Then a long break .. then maternity break… but back again… Thank you so much DD, especially for this article. The best thing in today’s article is the CLEAR and REAL solutions.
After starting this internship also, I accept that I am still not in the perfect routine for what an individual should have, those who want to be successful. One of the reasons for this may be that I am stuck with things like I could have done much better professionally and I have not done that till now. This thought works in my mind subconsciously which takes away a lot of my mental energy. I am accepting this here and promising you (as you promise us many things) that I will work more and more apart from Assignments.
How genuinely and boldly you expressed your life. That’s why you became so successful now. Every angle of your life taught us that high expectations are not wrong but we should overcome our failures as soon as possible and should move forward quickly rather than stop ourselves. I submit my assignments all on time but still don’t have the disciplined routine that I should be. It’s just because of my new motherhood responsibilities… Though I am sure, it will be sorted soon.
A new mother’s responsibility is like, that cannot be neglected at least for some time especially when we work from home always. The more interaction(professional- productive and useful), the fast we can bring changes. Because we are more active and disciplined then.
Now every day I am doing more. Personal things are manageable and moving to professional goals again. I don’t know why my mind signals me today to write the reply to this article in such away.
Maybe because it is that much connecting (and CLEAR in thought.) with an audience who has experienced a few phases of their life (like me), where you are divided and have to go with personal and professional COMMITMENTS both. I am lucky enough to have a supportive partner in my life, and now I am doing and improving my professional front.
You are once again successful in explaining the importance of the role of communication skills (which is your writing in this case) for consumer attention and retention. What a combination you established.. psychological in understanding, philosophical in writing, and professional in executing.
I know it’s a bit of a long reply but when I read this again before sending you… Feel that I think this reply is the first step in my branding. I am going to paste it on my blog, on my WhatsApp dip (our intern’s group) group, and in my discord community. I have just started using Twitter so there is no audience there. No point tagging anything for now. 😀
I spent three hours writing just these few lines ( I could have attempted half of my week 5 assignment at this time ).. but it’s worth it today. Because I will put this small article as the first step of my journey as a PERSONAL BRAND. So in this way also, I did something productive in these three hours. At least I wrote an article/content if nothing much. 😊
Thank you so much, DD.
So Guys… This is all for this post. I feel good and motivated if you show interest in me.
Kindly visit my blogs as I am not going to STOP.
