Today I have a truly remarkable and memorable interview for you. It’s with the co-founder of the luxury, organic chocolate Green and Blacks - Jo Fairley.

If you’ve ever wanted to know how someone could build a 100 million dollar per year business, then now is your chance. I think you’ll be inspired by how she did it without falling into the craziness of running around like a headless chicken!

Whilst recording this interview and listening to Jo’s story, I had this overwhelming feeling that anything is possible if we just take things step by little step. Literally, all we have to do is take action and the most magnificent things can grow out of opportunities that appear before us in the course of our everyday life.
