About this episode
You want to put yourself “out there,” but you're worried. You don’t want to feel too vulnerable or come across as self-centered. So here’s a liberating truth: You don’t need to put your whole self out there. In fact, you shouldn’t. Today, Jason will show you a powerful alternative: he calls it the “5% Character.”
It’s a version of yourself that’s always interesting, always impressive, and always on — and once you identify it, you become exponentially more valuable and desirable. This idea unlocked his career and created a wave of opportunity— and today, he shows you how you can use it, too.
For more on the 5% Character and additional strategies for personal branding, check out Jason’s first-ever course, called LinkedIn Mastery, which helps you advance your career by becoming a respected top voice in your industry. As a Help Wanted listener, you can get it for 40% off by using the code HELPWANTED.
