The Tasmanian tiger, or thylacine, is one of nature’s most fascinating enigmas.

Officially extinct for decades, it continues to captivate imaginations.

Some sightings suggest it may still survive, but this only adds to the mystery.

I asked myself, ‘What if we applied the same concept of rare allure to ourselves in the context of building our personal brands and online personas?’

Let’s take a look at 10 ways to create a living legacy that’s hard to ignore:

Master an obsession.

Get good at something specific to the degree you go to sleep thinking about it.

This healthy obsession keeps you so engrossed and so undistracted from other forms of junk that you give yourself a crazy advantage.

Choose a challenging skill that aligns with your personality and passion. This could be storytelling, design or a marketing strategy.

Associate yourself with something distinct that when people think of that thing, they instantly think of you.
