<p>Part Two covers <b>Your Competitive Advantage</b>, or <b>Your Personal Brand</b>, how you develop it and how you maintain it.</p>
<p>This comes down to a characteristic of you or your business practices that your customers value, but that your competitors find difficult if not impossible to duplicate.  In developing your competitive advantage ( brand) focus on who you are and what is unique about you. Then focus on who you want to reach and how you want to be thought of so that you package and promote yourself to accomplish your goals.</p>
<p>When you do, you predispose your audience by capturing the essence of what you have to offer, creating interest and enthusiasm for it and enhancing your image for differentiating yourself in your marketplace.</p>
