Nicholla says.....'I've been following Jo Barnes since 2011. She has been my 'go to' person for all things related to social media. She creates fantastic valuable material all the time and connects with so many great people in the industry. I've always admired her dedication to helping business owners use social media to drive their businesses as well as her brilliant relationship building skill she has. If there is one person you pay attention to when it comes to social media, its this lady. Her down to earth style makes her easy to listen to. This podcast is her entrepreneurial journey and she shares her struggles, her failures but also what she learnt and what she would change, if anything.

Jo says.....
If you find that you are mired by things that don't directly impact your bottom line, I'd make a list of those things and start to formulate your power team and get those things done so you have the energy to focus on the parts of the business that you are passionate about
Inside this Episode
These are the questions I asked Jody and the answers are in the podcast.

3. How do you stay on top of managing your business and travelling?
4. Can you give us an insight into day to day business activities? How do you organise your day and how do you prioritize?
5. How do you think being an entrepreneur has affected your family life?
6. How do you generate ideas and how long do you work with them before you see them take off or even have to shut them down.
6. Do you think being an expat has had a significant impact on your business or do you think it would have been the same had you started your entrepreneurial journey in your home country?
7. Is social media a large part of your business and what tools are working for you right now? ( 'Jo. I know this is your business but I wanted to ask you this question anyway as it would be interesting to know which social network tool works best these days for what you do')
8. Do you believe there is some sort of pattern or formula to becoming a successful entrepreneur?
9. What would you say are the top three skills needed to be a successful entrepreneur?
10. What is the best piece of business advise you have ever been given? And how is that working for you right now?
