Episode #065: Entrepreneur on Fire’s Kate Erickson offers 16 Steps to Successfully Launching Your Business

by

Kate EricksonMy guest today, entrepreneur Kate Erickson, has an eclectic background.

There’s extensive experience in marketing and advertising, an English degree thrown in for good measure, and a passion for entrepreneurship.

She is the now content creator and community leader for EntrepreneurOnFire, a website and podcast hosted by John Lee Dumas. John, by the way, was a guest on episode #003 of this podcast.

Kate, you see, realized after all those years in marketing and advertising and the banking industry that she didn’t need corporate america to determine her worth for her.

Instead, she decided to determine her own worth by taking all of that knowledge and experience she gained and putting it towards helping others recognize, create and build the business they’ve always dreamed of, but never thought possible.

by

Mike Michalowicz

By his 35th birthday, Mike Michalowicz had founded and sold two multi-million dollar companies.

Confident that he had the formula for success, he became an angel investor…and proceeded to lose his entire fortune. Ouch!

Then he started all over again, driven to find better ways to grow healthy, strong companies. Among other innovative strategies, Mike created the “Profit First Formula”, a way for businesses to ensure profitability from their very next deposit forward.

Mike is now running his third million dollar venture, is a former small business columnist for The Wall Street Journal; is the former MSNBC business make-over expert; is a popular keynote speaker on innovative entrepreneurial topics; and is the author of The Pumpkin Plan, and The Toilet Paper Entrepreneur, which BusinessWeek deemed “the entrepreneur’s cult classic.”

His latest book is called Profit First: A Simple System to Transform any Business from a Cash-Eating Monster to a Money-Making Machine.

Episode #051: From Day Job to Dream Job with Kary Oberbrunner

by

Kary OberbrunnerI am thrilled to introduce author Kary Oberbrunner to you on this 1-year anniversary of the Read to Lead Podcast!

His latest book is Day Job to Dream Job: Practical Steps for Turning Your Passion into a Full-Time Gig.

Simply put, I loved it. If you’re dissatisfied with the current state of your career (and studies suggest that 86% of us are), then I believe you will love it too.

I especially appreciate that Kary doesn’t stop with simply telling  you what you need to do. He goes so far as to lay out a 9-step plan for how you can accomplish it. And he’s no armchair quarterback. Kary himself moved from day job to dream job in early 2013.
