Pract•ad•goal is a word host Heather Holloway created. It is the sum total of the words ‘practical advancement goal.’ Her intention with this podcast is to teach entrepreneurs how to advance their careers with practical social media marketing advice.
Do you love being an entrepreneur, but the social media world isn’t for you?
You might think that success in the business world just can’t happen without a solid social media presence, but my latest guest, Johanna Renoth, is living proof that this is NOT the case! In this episode, she explains why she decided to say goodbye to social media: and how YOU can do it too!
Johanna is a serial entrepreneur and advisor. After co-founding her first company at the age of 20, she pursued a wide variety of interests before returning to her original love– entrepreneurship. She now runs several projects and businesses and helps entrepreneurs who want to succeed in business without relying heavily on social media.
