"None of us are defined by our circumstances, nor
are we defined by how other people perceive us. It is up to each one of us
to define ourselves, and that is a life's work. Each
of us has the ability to lead a dynamic life by pursuing our unique goals
and dreams. There are no limits to what you can do."

- From traditional corporations to the Internet, from top
executives to people trying to make a difference in their
communities, branding has become one of the most important concepts
in professional and personal marketing today.

his audience how to use branding -- the technique employed by
major advertisers to distinguish their products -- for their own
benefit.
