Melissa K. Jones: Building Community for Business Success

When was the last time you met that new social media buddy of yours face-to-face? You know – where you actually picked up the phone to speak to each other in full sentences rather than in 140 character messages peppered with emojis?

In this episode, Melissa Jones and I are talking about some of the growing pains we all experience when we make the leap to running our own business and how cultivating a community for ourselves online and OFFLINE can be one of the wisest investments for the long term growth of your business.
