Read More

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.

  • Melissa’s journey from the corporate world to the entrepreneurial world and the mindset shift she needed to make to get herself into “high gear.”

  • What you should be focusing on during your first year of business (and it ain’t the “pretty stuff.”)

  • A simple way to prioritize your day to make sure you’re working on things that’ll push your business forward.

  • Why sometimes you’ve got to throw spaghetti on the wall.

  • Whether your business looks more like a Cheesecake Factory menu or like that of the fancy French bistro in the neighborhood and why it matters.

  • Why offline relationships are so valuable to the future of your business.

  • How to utilize social media to create a community for yourself – online and offline.
