14 Donna Serdula – LinkedIn Specialist
Donna Serdula is the founder of VisionBoardMedia.com and she loves helping people tell their story while building a powerful professional brand. Her mission is to help professionals take control of their internet presenct and present themselves in a way that inspires, impresses, and builds their abilities, products and services. I have been aching to do more shows focused around social media due to the importance and growth of these platforms. It was truly a pleasure to have Donna on the show and her knowledge within LinkedIn is truly amazing.
During this interview, I was able to learn quite a bit about LinkedIn and how important this particular platform is to my overall social signal. I asked several questions and would have loved more time, but we had enough time to learn about the most important aspect of LinkedIn and that was where to start. Whether you are new to LinkedIn or you have been on this site for a while, there are many changes going on that you should be aware of.
Donna has been on LinkedIn since 2005, and while she says she is not an early adopter of the site, she has positioned herself as a leader on LinkedIn with nearly 20,000 followers through consistently updating her profile nearly 15 times each day. While this may seem like a lot, this is necessary in today’s online market place in order to get your message out in a crowded space. Make sure that you take the time to complete your profile because when people want to learn more about you, you need to share a story about yourself in the best light.
For many people, writing is difficult to say the least. It’s hard to make sure you are adding the right things to your profile based on what goals you hope to acheive. Donna created LinkedIn-Makeover.com, which also happens to be the name of her book, LinkedIn Makeover – Professional Secrets to a POWERFUL LinkedIn Profile, where she and her staff will tell your story and build your professional brand by creating a profile that will help connect you with target prospects and companies that are looking for your expertise.
Whether you are looking for gainful employment or selling products and services, having a complete LinkedIn profile is sure to increase your exposure. Many of the people on LinkedIn are high-level executives and decision makers. This is a great platform for business of all kinds. The more you participate on this network, the more opportunity you will have to get your dream job or do business with people you like.

About Jaime Jay
Meet Jaime Jay – a man who wears many hats, and wears them all admirably. He's a master connector, an entrepreneur extraordinaire, and a published author who knows how to get things done.
Before he found his way to the business world, Jaime served his country as a brave paratrooper in the U.S. Army. But that's just the beginning of his many accomplishments.
He's the founder of the renowned Bottleneck Distant Assistant Services firm, and his book "Quit Repeating Yourself" has become a must-read for entrepreneurs everywhere.
When he's not busy building his empire, you can find him on his beloved Harley Davidson, cruising through the countryside and taking in the invigorating effects of Uitwaaien – a Dutch practice that involves facing the wind to boost health and relieve stress.
He enjoys spending his free time outside building stuff with his wife, Nikita the dog and their two kittens (for now at least) Tommy and Tater.
He is ‘over-the-moon’ happily married to his wonderful wife Sara, his amazing daughter, Jessica, who is serving our country as a United States Army soldier. Jaime and Sara are the proud grand parents of two beautiful little girls.
Victoria Dorsano2023-09-17Bottleneck has been such an amazing support for my business! They have a seamless process to ensure you find the right fit for your DDA. I am so thankful I started working with them! I'm now able to accomplish so much more in my business with a personal DDA and editing team on my side. Thank you!!
Rockwell Felder2023-03-15I cannot thank the team at Bottleneck enough for their incredible support of our business. Their team has played a vital role in helping us staff our customer support and ensuring our customers were satisfied with our services. Their Distant Assistants were extremely helpful in answering inquiries promptly, handling complaints, and providing solutions to our customers' needs. Their professionalism, attention to detail, and communication skills are exceptional. Working with Bottleneck has been a fantastic experience, and I highly recommend their services to anyone needing a reliable and efficient virtual assistant, especially for customer support.
Karen Ravano2022-09-24I am grateful and blessed to be part of this team. It’s such a wonderful experience because i gain more experience and help me enhance my basic skills. This will be my stepping stone to my career as a newbie in this kind of industry. It would help to reach my goals.
Jeany Mercadal2022-09-16Bottleneck Distant Assistants can lessen the burden of company owners. We provide excellent services depending on our client needs. We are not scam, clients surely get more than what they pay for. Being part of this team helped me hone my skills and become excellent in all my works.
Jeff Peñaflor2022-09-14I started last March 24, 2021 as a Dedicated Distant Assistant and it was an awesome experience. In this new journey, as Security Administrator of Bottleneck Distant Assistants, I have been supported by the team, A LOT !!!! All help that I need, the whole team is there to support me. I know that there are a lot of room for improvements with my skills and what I know, but because of BNDA, I became equipped with all the weapons I need to conquer the daily challenges especially with my tasks. With BNDA, they will not just help you to aim high, but soar the skies!
Tinoe D2022-09-09I don't remember the last time I loved what I was doing until Bottleneck came into the picture. I love working for bottleneck, they are professional. The management makes the workplace fun and they're very flexible. I definetly recommend that you make that important switch and be part of something big today by joining BNDA.
Michael Goodcliffe2022-09-09Jaime and his team are incredible at what they do! Joining them has been one of the best decisions in my life! I whole heartedly recommend them to anyone who are looking to scale and improve their business. Their highly 'Dedicated Distant Assistants' are well trained. They are top notch!
GM Simon2022-09-08Working with Bottleneck is not just having one or two assistants working alongside you. You have the support of the whole team behind them as well.
Ma. Edeliza Silot2022-09-07Aside from the knowledge gained, the trainers are highly commendable.
Sara Knox2022-09-07What an awesome business! Finally, a way to hire the RIGHT person for my administrative tasks and they are remote! No office space to consider, W2's, 1099's or payroll. Jaime and his team of remote workers are top-notch! I hired my first assistant in May. I recently suffered a motorcycle accident and it left me unable to work for 2 weeks. But my assistant stepped right in to guide our CEO on all matters financial. It’s so nice to have that stress eliminated from my life!
