Next week is Small Business Week and as a small business owner I value other business owner’s experience and consider that even more valuable than money.

My question:  In what ways are you using social media in your personal branding efforts? Is it different than what you do for your business?

I’m writing a blog post about this and will happily feature you and your story in my post.

This past week here are some articles that you might have missed:
