Kate Erickson of Entrepreneur On Fire!

Kate Erickson is a California girl from Sunny San Diego! She’s also the Content Creator and Community leader of Entrepreneur On Fire, a top ranked podcast that was named Best in iTunes 2013!

Kate has always had a passion for travel, spending time with family, and teaching. She was an English major and was on her way to become a college professor until a downturn in the economy made that nearly impossible. 

After having worked in a corporate bank, then moving on to work in an ad agency, Kate decided that it was time for her to start a business of her own. She began Kate’s Copy which combined  her advertising and marketing skills with her love of writing amazing content.

In our chat, she shares the lessons learned along the way and how her experiences led her to where she is today.

“Take some time to focus your energy on being healthy and happy” – Kate Erickson

What you can expect learn:

  • Why knowing your limiting beliefs is so important

  • What you need to have besides passion and drive to make your business succeed

  • How you can balance your work around life

  • One trick that you can do right now to discover new ideas and get motivated 

Take aways:

  • Recognize any self limiting beliefs you might have when they creep up
  • Learn as much as you can from your current work since you’ll never know how it’ll serve you in the future.
  • Don’t wait for opportunities. Make them.
  • Plan ahead and save money if you plan on leaving your job
  • Have a support group, e.g. friends, family, mastermind group, to help you out during times of transition
  • Stop. Step away from the TV, put down the phone, turn off the monitor, and breathe. Be in the moment and focus on being healthy and happy.
