Love him or hate him, if you've watched his documentary or spent any time understanding his journey as an entrepreneur, you'll have to admit that the way he's built his personal brand has been pretty fascinating, from The Apprentice and "You're Fired" all the way to The White House and President of the United States.


Having a strong personal brand can open lots of doors for you, from business partnerships to product endorsements, and from podcasts to TV and affiliate deals. So how are you thinking about growing your personal brand so that it can lead to greater business opportunities?
