This week on the show I’m joined by marketing expert, Jenn Donovan. After 15 years in law, Jenn bought a retail business in a regional town in Victoria. She built that business into a highly profitable 7 figure business and eventually sold it. Since then, Jenn has been assisting other small business owners, in retail, service based and tourism, around the country, to achieve their business goals. You can find out more about her here: https://socialmediaandmarketing.com.au And you can check out her retreat here: https://socialmediaandmarketing.com.au/work-with-me/2025-women-in-business-planning-retreat-with-jenn/

Last week I tried REALLY hard to sign up for a Yoga workshop.
