253 – Donna Cravotta's Secrets to Building a Thriving Personal Brand

This week's episode of Good Girls Get Rich is brought to you by Uplevel Media CEO and LinkedIn expert, Karen Yankovich. In this episode, guest Donna Cravotta and Karen Yankovich discuss the secrets to building a thriving personal brand.  Donna Cravotta is the CEO and Founder of Cravotta Media Group and the creator of the Mix Tape-brand story reels, BeVisible.club a group learning community, and The Real 50 over 50, a visibility project featuring 50+ women who are quietly making a difference. After years of creating marketing strategies and building customized online platforms, Donna saw a recurring theme. Clients had gaps in their own stories. They left out parts of the journey that got them to where they are today. This gap created a disconnect in their work and in their marketing. So she flipped her own story, spent a year learning how to redesign 40 years of experience to help entrepreneurs, and now her focus is on guiding clients as they pull together all of the parts to their stories and mix tried and true strategies with new technology to be visible and connect with their perfect audiences. #GoodGirlsGetRich  We want to hear your thoughts on this episode!
