Why Building Your Personal Brand is Non-Negotiable (Inspired by Gary Vee)

You did it. You took the leap. After years (maybe decades) of building your career, you finally bet on yourself and left corporate to run your own business.

First off — congratulations! That’s no small thing.

But now comes the part no one warns you about — the shift from being the expert behind the scenes to becoming the face of your brand. It’s not just a business shift — it’s an identity shift.

Gary Vee just dropped a LinkedIn newsletter talking about why personal branding is no longer optional. And if you’re a woman who’s traded corporate titles for entrepreneurship, his message couldn’t be more relevant.

Your Personal Brand is Your New Resume — and So Much More

In corporate, your work spoke for itself. You had a title, a team, and a reputation within your company. Now? None of that automatically follows you. Your personal brand is how the world gets to know you — and decides if they trust you enough to hire you.

But here’s the part Gary didn’t say — building a personal brand after corporate isn’t just about getting clients. It’s about owning your story, your value, and your unique brilliance. It’s about becoming as visible and valuable as the brand you’re building.

Photos, Videos & Features — With Strategy at the Center

This is where so many knowledgeable women get stuck. They take headshots, maybe film a video or two, but they don’t have a strategy that ties it all together. That’s where I come in.

The photos, videos, podcast features, and even Boss Ladies Magazine spreads I create? They’re not random content. They’re all part of a bigger plan — a strategy to help you get seen, get known, and get paid as the go-to expert in your space.
