I thought carefully when I chose my name, because, no matter what I do, or where I go, I am (and always will be) ME.<br />I have multiple e-mail addresses, so that each different facet of me will have its space. Not that I'm fragmented, just have a lot of stuff to keep track of.<br />I am so excited for you and the Fire Starter sessions - woot, woot!! Exactly!!!

It defies what we are told, that once you brand there is no going back. AWESOME! Trusting your voice is the key and I love how you do this every step of the way.

I keep joking (well, maybe not so joking) to people to make sure they get my name right because I AM A BRAND! But then I've been fretting over the branding for all my "personalities," as I'm getting into several different interests in my oh-so-schizophrenic life, and trying so hard to keep them compartmentalized. Maybe I should just make them all one. You know...me. What a radical notion... Interesting food for thought.

What a radical notion...

Our ego is essentially made up of the thoughts we have about ourselves based on what we Do, what we HAVE and what OTHER PEOPLE THINK OF US. Our ego leads us to do and say things that come from the thinking, "I am my job...I am my house...I am my car...I am the praise I receive...etc." You, of course, are not your job....you are not your website...you are not whitehottruth...you are Danielle and when you changed your Twitter name, you silenced the ego and listened to your soul! By the way, my Twitter name used to be "keynoter"....now it's SusanIStewart...I had a similar realization as you...and hey, self realization ROCKS.

I think of the poor cattle, (although some are on the open range, not so bad). I prefer to think "presence" when I hear or use the word brand. Presence seems ephemeral, difficult to fully describe. Presence calls to mind Present, as in gift. Or as in here and now. So... not so much my brand, as my presence, and that would be the best of what I am or could be. My brand, is me. Yes Use that name, absolutely. Branding is such a a horrible word. I think of the poor cattle, (although some are on the open range, not so bad).

Informative and thought provoking. 2) Semi-related question: So let's say you were jumping into the online world in 2010. You eventually plan to have two businesses, each with its own target market. Would you have one Twitter account, and three web sites (one for you that serves as the web-equivalent of the Twitter account, and one for each business), or ??? Your thoughts are appreciated.
