Brandvana Shatakam: A Guide to Ego-Free Personal Branding and Growth

I sat down to craft my brand one night,  

Polished my LinkedIn—made it so bright!  

With fancy job titles, awards galore,  

A résumé that would make them adore.  

But as I typed, a voice did chime,  

"My dear friend, you’ve lost your mind!"  

"You are not your title, nor your degree—  

"Your brand is bigger than your CV!"  

I gasped, I froze, my hands went cold,  

"But without these labels, I’ve nothing to hold!"  

"Oh silly one," the voice replied,  

"Your impact’s what counts, not your pride!"  

You Are Not Your Thoughts → Stop Overthinking!  

I rewrote my bio twenty times,  

Then scrapped it all—was that a crime?  

"No one cares about every small tweak—  

"Just tell your story, make it unique!"  

You Are Not Your Ego → Ditch the Perfection!  

I posed in a suit, chin lifted high,  

A headshot so sharp it could cut the sky.  

"Drop the filters," the wise voice said,  

"Just be yourself instead!"  

You Are Not Your Job Title → Own Your True Power!  

I labeled myself ‘Growth Ninja’ with flair,  

But no one knew what I did out there!  

"Forget the jargon, keep it true—  

"Say what you actually DO!"  

You Are Not Your Accomplishments → Focus on Impact!  

I listed degrees, my GPA—  

"Impressive!" I thought, "I’ve won the day!"  

"But wait!" said the voice, "That's not the game—  

"What problems did you solve? That’s your name!"  

You Are Not Your Competition → Find Your Uniqueness!  

I checked LinkedIn—oh, what despair!  

Ten people had my same career!  

"Stop comparing, don’t compete—  

"Your brand is YOU, make it elite!"  

You Are Not Your Emotions → Stay Consistent!  

One day I posted, full of grace,  

The next, I vanished—lost my place.  

"Stay steady," the wise voice beamed,  

"A brand that lasts is one that’s themed!"  

Now I sit, with coffee in hand,  

No stress, no doubt—just a solid brand.  

No longer a slave to titles or fame,  

Just impact, purpose—that’s my game!  

So if you’re stuck in branding despair,  

Take a breath and shake off care!  

Ditch the ego, drop the show—  

Your true brand is what you KNOW!
