Getting on Board with Women Grow Business

Estimated Reading Time: 3 minutes

Thanks to my (wonderful) friends, this particular cat got out of the bag before I could untie the strings, so I’m going to make this short and sweet (though I’ve been dying to tell you for a while): I’m really excited to be taking over the reins at Women Grow Business, an amazing community hosted by Network Solutions to help women do exactly that: grow their business.

Estimated Reading Time: 6 minutes

JOTW: My First Experience With Social Karma
