Irony abounds on this topic, right here, right now.

The font below this comment portal says that commnets won't be posted if they contain "spam" which would include information related to "personal branding". My first comment would have been to take this article's advice and inclulde information about my start-up documentary film company for the purposes stated in this article. So I can't mention my brand that way. While visiting the related topics in this "50 ways to improve your life" article, I noticed a comment promoting someone's non-profit organization, so I guess that's okay. So far, my for-porfit company is WAY non-profit, even though it seeks to create a product that educates while it entertains while, hopfully, providing me with a subsistance income. No profit, just survival. The only difference is the way the IRS sees my income. Non-profits are allowed to include salaries in their budgets, and you may one day see an expose' of many of these groups. Many are parasites posing as society's partners. Many are genuine and worthy of support. People make livings just writing grant proposals for non-profits. A sale is still a sale. How does one price the intent of integrity ?
