Obviously, "President of KS" you could benefit from a little business background. Much like your own startup income, non-profits do have to pay their people. People are a resource just like any other and therefore a necessary "purchase" for any business to operate. That said, it is true that some non-profits pay their people more than they should.
Second point here, this article is not talking about a brand that you personally own. It is talking about your personal brand, YOU, your skill set and the "face" you present to the public. So advertising your startup is kind of left field here.

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 ?
