Kate Erickson‘s – the better half of John Lee Dumas’ Entrepreneurs on fire – interview with Steph Taylor.

The 5 main success factors for podcast Entrepreneurs on Fire

1. Podcast + Sponsorships
2. Email List
3. Affiliate relationships
4. Podcasting courses (Podcasters Paradise)
5. Physical products (journals and books)

More golden nuggets Kate Erickson found while working on Entrepreneurs on fire

• On Staying Focused
  • Time block and batch (reduce switching time/costs)
  • Have specific days for specific tasks (don’t combine tasks)
    • E.g. content on day 1, sponsorships on day 2, courses on day 3
• On Reading: instead of book club/ list, reach out to a friend and ask what they’re reading.
• On Goal Setting:
  • Schedule for 100 days, not more
  • Work on it every day
  • Check-in every 5-7 days and evaluate what (doesn’t) work
• Sounded easy
  • “Discipline creates free time.”
  • “Set up a system and create a routine around it.”
  • Their learning: too many platforms, didn’t know how to serve their traffic. Decided to double down and focus on what moves the needle instead of expanding services/platforms.
