EP52: Turning Your Personal Brand Into Your Dream Business, with Chris Ducker [Escape The Rat Race Radio Show Podcast]
Are you committed to building your personal brand in 2018?
My name is Christian Rodwell and today I’m talking with Serial Entrepreneur, Best selling Author and the Founder of Youpreneur, Chris Ducker
Youpreneur is the business community for coaches, consultants, authors, speakers, bloggers, podcasters, freelancers and entrepreneurs focusing on building a business around their brand, reputation, and those they serve.
Chris helps entrepreneurs become the go-to leaders in their industries; building profitable, sustainable business around them and those they want to serve.
He’s a highly sought after international keynote speaker, a trusted business mentor, blogger and podcaster, and the author of the bestselling Virtual Freedom (which has 800+ 5-star reviews on Amazon) and the upcoming Rise of the Youpreneur: The Definitive Guide to Becoming the Go-To Leader in Your Industry and Building a Future-Proof Business.
The term Youpreneur – which Chris coined - describes the rise of the personal brand entrepreneur, a new business model that very few people saw coming. A Youpreneur transcends the old rules of business to build a sustainable business from the foundation of their experience, interests and personality – their personal brand.
As a serial entrepreneur who always has an eye to the future, Chris has built several businesses, which generate a multi-seven-figure annual revenue and employ over 450 employees.
Chris is featured regularly in Entrepreneur, Inc., Success, Forbes, The Huffington Post, and Business Insider, among others.
