Via the Tom Peters! blog, I was introduced to a great NXTBook (yeah, I had never heard of that either) by Rajesh Setty, Personal Branding for Technology Professionals. It’s a great resource for identifying and promoting your personal brand. Not a technology professional? No problem. There are some examples and points relating directly to the technology industry, but this document in no way is constrained to that field.
I recommend printing the document so you can fill out the simple exercises that help you develop your personal brand. I printed it out and even ran it through the binder, so it feels like a workbook and is something I can reference occasionally instead of losing it in a stack or throwing it away.
The Casual Fridays blog is about business in blue jeans. It's about doing the REAL hard work of today. Pausing, thinking and asking the questions others won't ask.

Hi Dustin,
Thank you for the kind mention. It took me a few months to develop the eBook and I am glad that you liked it.
Best,
Raj

Hi Dustin -
Thanks for mentioning NXTbook - we’re working hard to build awareness! We were thrilled to have Raj featured in the NXT Big Thing - our own monthly publication that features some of the best net writing out there. I think future writers will have their work cut out meeting the bar Raj has set.

Raj, thanks for sharing your work with us. This is a great resource for people needing to establish their personal brand (which is all of us).
Marcus, I was very impressed with NXTbook. I didn’t have to install a reader, everything loaded quickly, the navigation was simple and elegant, and it worked (which is important to some people).
The only thing I noticed was print quality. Maybe if I worked with my settings, I could have gotten better results… but the text and images were a bit fuzzy.
Still, it seems like a compelling online publishing tool.
Great job to you both!
