It’s not often that you meet a team that is as down to Earth, approachable, giving and knowledgeable as the two behind Entrepreneur On Fire. In episode 6, I had the privilege of interviewing John Lee Dumas, host of the Entrepreneur On Fire podcast. Today, we get his better half. :)

Kate Erickson, Content and Community Manager for Entrepreneur On Fire, joins us today and ignites a firestorm of takeaways and action steps!

She reveals the personal trials, tribulations and triumphs that has led up to this point in her life, and how you can create the future of your dreams with a bit of dedication, productivity and a clear vision of your customer avatar and the products and services that would best suit them.

IN THIS EPISODE, YOU’LL DISCOVER:

  • What a day in the life of operating a 7-figure home-business looks like
  • What Kate learned from her business start-up failure and how she applies those lessons in Entrepreneur On Fire
  • A breakdown of Entrepreneur On Fire’s $166,000+ February ’14 net profit
  • How Kate and John turned a $5,595 Facebook ad spent into over $60,000 in just 1 month
  • How Kate utilizes Virtual Assistants productively in Entrepreneur On Fire
  • The time management software that Kate uses to steer clear of distractions, and stay on point with productivity

ACTION STEPS:

  • Wake up early! Studies have down that waking up early makes you more proactive, productive, and even optimistic.
  • For at least one week, create a list of things you work on every day. Then, look back and review your list and reevaluate where you should be spending your time.
  • Utilize a time management program like Rescue Time and continually review how you’re spending your time online, and where you might be able to become more productive.
  • Consider hiring a Virtual Assistant and delegate daily tasks that can be carried out by someone else.
  • Consider utilizing Facebook Ads in your business if you aren’t already. And get specific with your targeting!
