Listen "Kate Kordsmeier on Scaling Your Income (Without Burning Out)"

Episode Synopsis

Kate Kordsmeier knows being a mompreneur means that we have to wear many hats. But just because we are responsible for something doesn't mean that we have to trade our time to get it done. Kate has leveraged systems - especially evergreen funnels -- effectively turning a significant portion of her income into a passive revenue that allows her to invest her energy into the things that matter to her -- especially her growing family.
Meet our Guest Kate:
Kate Kordsmeier is a writer, educator and creative entrepreneur. She lives in Atlanta with her husband Matt and their two kiddos, Jackson, and Gemma and their three, fur babies Scout, Boo, and Finch - and yes, they are named for the characters and To Kill a Mockingbird. She left a flourishing freelance writing career to start a holistic wellness blog called Root + Revel, which became a multi six figure business. She now teaches other heart centered online entrepreneurs to monetize their online business with sustainable tactics that don't result in burnout or selling their soul. She does this through two courses that she offers and she's also a fellow podcaster. And you can hear her on the podcast Sucess with Soul.
