We have had only a single contest here on the Personal Branding Blog. That changes today. Christine Comaford and I have been discussing a brand new contest, where 10 of you can win a free copy of her book and have your business challenges solved ON THIS BLOG. Christine has massive credibility and is willing to share her expertise with my readers (Brand You). Why is she doing this? She loves to hear from new audiences and I told her my readers will have some very interesting questions.
Contest Rules
1) In the comments section, list your top 3 business challenges or questions for Christine.
2) She will pick the most common ones and do a guest post on this blog on Friday to answer them for you.
3) The first 10 to respond within 48 hours of this post will get a free copy of her book.
Let the comments flow! Good luck and may the brand be with you.
