Inna, it is a fine line to straddle. There could be security issues by having too much personal information in your bio, yet most sane people like to know more about who they would like to work with especially if they are looking online.

I think you should because this is how people connect with you on a personal level. For those that don't I think that is alright too. If people know where you are from and what school you attended or hobbies you might just get a new client because of the common elements. On the other hand too much information may cause invasions into your privacy. There is a fine line.

My business comes from the benefits, results, outcome and solutions I bring to the table.

Now, in the ever growing connection economy, the intent of such disclosure is to create familiarity. There are ways to do this without creating hazard and peril for those inportant to you.

Russ Ravary ~ Metro Detroit Realtor call (248) 310-6239 , yes, I do.

But first of all, I'd like to tell my potential clients what I stand for and how I communicate the values and character of my service. If they respect to my professional skills, it is the prime reason to hire me:) If they like my personality, it is a bonus:).

Think about it: you don't need to 'like' the client to do your job, you just do it, right?

Debbie Reynolds ,

You see, we all have a different opinion about ''fine line'':)

I'm very honest F2F, but I feel uncomfortable to tell online about my personal life. I'm like Annette Lawrence in some way, I'm a result/service oriented.
