@ Raza – I think it’s very common for us to try to pretend to be someone we’re not (albeit innocently with the intentions of putting our best foot forward).

Remember, though – don’t pass yourself off as razor sharp when you’re dull Swiss Army… just find out what dull blades can do that razor blades can’t, and brand and promote accordingly.

On a serious note… I guess this highlights the importance of knowing yourself. Define who you are and the world will beat a path to your door.

What would you rather be, a dull Swiss Army Knife or a razor sharp blade?

It takes courage and hardwork to become a blade.

LOL… Actually, I did. If you visit the home page of the blog and see the excerpt, you’ll notice my name at the bottom.

I can only direct people to posts I’ve written if I’ve been given a byline and credit for the work. (Which means you’ll never notice all my other famous posts out there!)

Isn't it ironic that you didn't get a byline on a post about branding? Hunter Nuttall's last blog post..The Best And Worst April Foolsâ€™ Joke Of 2008
