For many entrepreneurs and small businesses, social media can be an absolute game-changer! All it takes is one viral post and a business can suddenly take off.
At Like A Voss Social Media, we’re highlighting local businesses and entrepreneurs who are killing the online game. This week’s spotlight is on Jessika Luise, Owner of J Does Brows!
Our CEO Mandi interviewed Jess about her secret to success in business and in life. We also got some awesome insights into what they think makes social media such an effective tool in business. The two actually connected on Instagram when Mandi moved to Campbell River and was looking for a new brow queen to keep her brows gorgeous.

The esthetics industry can be extremely tough mentally.
