Personal domains, all about EGO?
Really it is all about branding, whether you're building a new business or growing an existing one or just wanting to build your own profile. If you are looking for people to help you do any of that, you must make sure they understand the part your personal brand plays in the overall strategy.
Having your own domain is the ultimate in personal branding! If you are interested in building a profile in the market and making yourself available for public speaking, consulting and other such opportunities, you must register your own personal domain.
Also consider, in the current Australian job market, where 200 CEO's applying for the same job, each with master degrees and 2 with PHD's! How better to stand out from the crowd by having your own personal website.
In building my website I was reminded of this quote:
"Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate
Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure
It is our light not our darkness that most frightens us
We ask ourselves, who am I to be brilliant, gorgeous, talented and
fabulous?
Actually, who are you not to be?"
So go ahead, register your own personal domain and let your own light shine!
That's me by the way, following the Tour Down Under in Adelaide this year, cycling up the same mountain Lance Armstrong did (at about 30% of his speed mind you) But I did it! :)
