Publisher's summary

Build your confidence, increase your value, and make a lasting impact - a brand authenticity expert shares her most powerful secrets.

Everyone in marketing is talking “authenticity”. Which means making a personal or professional brand should be simpler than ever, right? What could be easier than “being yourself"?

Simple? Sure. But easy? Not so much.

Why? Because authenticity is unfiltered, unapologetic, and honest. Authenticity owns its imperfections and takes responsibility for mistakes. It shows up on the good and bad days. In short, authenticity feels scary. No wonder we try to brand ourselves as someone else we think will be more appealing than our real selves.

Jessica Zweig founded the SimplyBe. agency to revolutionize an authenticity-first approach to branding. With Be: A No-Bullsh*t Guide to Increasing Your Self Worth and Net Worth by Simply Being Yourself, she shares her most powerful secrets for building authenticity, service, and real connection into your winning brand. “I’m opening up the freakin’ vault to SimplyBe.’s best-in-class, trademarked methodologies, tools, and frameworks for clearing away everything that’s keeping the real you from shining through”, she says, including:

• Branding reinvented: Forget the hacks and tricks, it’s time to learn what personal branding is really about.
• Embracing your sh*t: All that stuff you think you need to hide? That’s actually your most important resource!
• Your vibe attracts your tribe: Learn to magnetize the people who most want to support you (and they’re out there).
• Your Personal Brand Hologram®: SimplyBe.’s universal framework can crystallize your utterly unique brand platform.

“We are living at an inflection point”, says Jessica Zweig. “For any brand - business or personal - the game is no longer about eyeballs, but engagement. No longer about impressions, but impact. Content is no longer king, clarity is. Your best strategy? Service and generosity. Your best solution? Authenticity.” Here is a powerful guide for connecting with others, changing lives, and moving the world forward as only you can.

I've been on my personal branding journey for almost 3 years now. I've read atleast 10 or more books on branding & I'll tell you, this was the BEST book on personal branding I have come across! Jessica's vulnerability plus her expertise plus the STORYTELLING made this book something that I willl return to over & over again. If you've been struggling to build your personal brand, THIS IS THE BOOK THAT WILL END IT!

inspiring

I really enjoyed this book and narration, it was very inspiring and motivating. I found myself bookmarking quite a bit and returning to certain parts as well.

Practical steps

This book includes practical steps to organize your thoughts. If you’re not sure how to combine your personal skills and interests with your business philosophies into one cohesive brand, this book will show you how!

Some cheesy pep talks toward the end but if you’re beer too personal development I could see how these might be necessary or helpful.

This book was like The Great Conjunction for me.

I swear the divine and invisible hand of God led me to this book. Under no other circumstance would I have even known who Jessica Zweig was but nevertheless I found her. So grateful that Jessica got UNCOMFORTABLE to bring this gift to the world. Thank you so much Jessica Zweig. I can only hope to emulate you and find MY SUPER FUCKING POWER.

I’ve read many books like this and this one IS AWESOME!

I highly recommend! A great listen, very practical and chock of useful ways to grow a Personal Brand!!

Not bad, but not for me

The book had a few good chapters but I wasn’t prepared for her foul language. Normally it wouldn’t have bothered me, but it made the book less professional and took away from her credibility. Nevertheless, if your starting a business it does help you organize yourself and figure out where you are trying to go!

Simply, a must listen

If you are a personal brand or entrepreneur who has a mission to do good on this planet, this book is for you. Jessica lays out a no-nonsense plan to step into your authentic message so you can show up and serve.

Narration is A+

Incredibly motivating

This book is outstandingly motivating, inspirational, and you can’t help but take a deep look at yourself and morals as a human and leader.
