Your comment - "Fail so Passionately that you don't care that you failed, and then be self-aware enough to make it BETTER"... Well said . People are sometimes amazed that failure is so instructing, so educational.

Personal branding is important for everyone, but it's especially important for professionals who want to stand out from the crowd and build a successful career. It can help you attract new opportunities, negotiate higher salaries, and build a strong reputation in your field.
