Think about the greatest brand names on planet earth. Whether you thought of Oprah Winfrey, Nelson Mandela, Greta Thunburg, Nike or Red Bull the fact is you know them.
And you know they stand for something at their core!
You are also a brand; your ability to succeed is influenced by your inner life (self-identity) and your external success is influenced by how others perceive you (brand-identity).
How much you get paid is directly linked to both of these!
