Forged By Fire is a branding bible for anyone wanting to build a personal brand. Whether an employee or an entrepreneur, the goal of this book is to walk you through a step-by-step journey on how to be seen, valued and rewarded. Mila tells, “So many people go through life not reaching their purpose…it is vital to be able to know your gift, share it, market it and be seen. Pieces of Mila’s journey are interspersed throughout the main content of building a personal brand. Her story is one of grit and redemption, of building an unshakeable foundation amidst adversity and rising above it to be better than ever. She shares the painful and inspirational parts of her journey along with a proven framework for navigating hardship and utilizing it for personal—and professional — growth. Mila admits, “This is not a schmoozy marketing book – this is how to authenticate who you were created to be, regardless of your past mistakes, and use your value and stories to share with the world. Mila wants readers to recognize, “You have a purpose. You have a gift. Just because you are doing good doesn’t mean you can’t be doing GREAT. So, use this book to grow your brand and create more opportunities for you and your family.” Mila Grigg is a brand expert who has been coaching and consulting companies around the country for the last twenty years. Mila’s career has been dedicated to building personal and company brands – “I’ve worked with some of the greatest business leaders of our time,” admits Mila. “All those stories – success, failure and building businesses – are in the book.” 72 | NOVEMBER 2022
