To me, personal branding is becoming a specialist vs a doctor who has a general practice. Spending time and effort in building your personal brand. Allows you to charge a specialist rate that is specific to your niche you are in without much issues from your customers.

Whereas a general practising doctor has to take on everyone to get paid and may not be perceived as knowledgeable than a specialist who had been working hard on their niche. Which the customer might question everything that you say.

Depends, unfortunately as a small business owner you kind of need to be a generalist too. But for paving your path in a career, a specialist is always the smart route. πŸ’œ

Yeah, i agree as you should always focus on building a system and have someone take over your various process to make it work. E-Myth outlines it perfecting on the mental shift from a developer to the system builder instead of being a specialist that is constantly doing the work.
