		<description><![CDATA[<strong>Daryl Close</strong>, a business performance coach, discusses why <strong>freelancing success</strong> is not directly related to your specific <strong>freelancing talent</strong>. Whilst <strong>personal branding</strong> is not a new term, it is a term that has come back to the forefront of success as a professional freelancer. He explains that your actual talent is only a small part of the overall personal branding concept and freelancers need to refine and develop their professional brands in order to thrive in an ever increasingly competitive world. ]]></description>
