I met a young guy who has been playing piano for me. He told me he wants to brand himself. While I liked the idea of him trying to brand himself, I felt it was too early for him to jump into that. He was still learning and had not yet attained the level of a professional.
As a service provider, when you brand yourself, you move into the realm of professionalism. You should be sure you have attained mastery before you set out on building a brand around your skill. Don't be in a haste. It is important to achieve mastery at the highest level before you embark on branding.
When you push yourself out as a brand, clients expect you to operate at the highest possible level. There would be no limitations on the complexity of the jobs you get. Do you think you are ready for that? It is better to take it easy.
