Using Collaboration To Grow Your Business

I say it often that when it comes to building your business online or growing your tribe – you can't do it on your own. Especially, not in this digital age when paid advertising is at the forefront.

One of the best ways to grow your biz and tribe is through collaboration – not only is it cheaper than paid ads, but it's also something the provides huge return-on-investment (ROI).

There is so much power in collaboration, so you need to quit fearing it and start doing it! That's exactly what today's episode is all about.

LET'S GET INTO IT

I'm so giddy for today's episode because I'm chatting with two brilliant ladies who are mums and best friends about the power of collaboration. Oh yes, this episode is bringing you some serious girl power!

Today's guests are Kara Vaina and Bec Stenner the founders of Social ConXN. They are extremely passionate about helping you take the overwhelm out of your social media and to embrace the raw power of connecting.
