Personal Branding Weekly - 27 May 2013 - Personal Branding Blog - Stand Out In Your Career

Personal Branding Weekly - 27 May 2013 - Personal Branding Blog - Stand Out In Your Career Many will greet you today saying Happy Memorial Day. There will be barbecues, fun in the sun, beach time and some great picnics planned.   Memorial Day is a time to remember those who made the ultimate sacrifice. Take a few minutes away from your fun in the sun to remember the brave men and women who gave their lives in service to America. Perhaps your personal freedom given from the brave who protect and serve is to be in business for yourself. Ken shared some great tips on setting up your own virtual office.
