Sometimes, the journey to success begins in the most surprising ways. For Kate Kordsmeier, an online business coach and founder of Success with Soul, her path to achieving six-figure success started during an unexpected time: her pregnancy.
Kate Kordsmeier’s Journey to Online Business Success
After graduating from journalism school, Kate became a freelance food and travel writer. In 2015, she was diagnosed with PCOS and hypothyroidism, which inspired her to launch a holistic wellness blog called Root + Revel. Her blog quickly gained traction and by 2018, she had her first six-figure year.
As her blog and business grew, so did her family. Balancing motherhood with her thriving business became her next challenge. In 2021, Kate sold her blog for multiple six figures, quit social media, and launched a mastermind program teaching how to launch a successful digital business.
But as Kate’s business grew, she discovered that toggling between multiple softwares was only sabotaging her potential. She wanted to find a solution that made it fast and easy to launch her marketing and automate her sales.
Growing Pains: Finding the Right Tools to Scale
Before Kartra, Kate faced significant challenges with her existing marketing tools. The high costs, lack of integrations, and inefficiencies were a constant headache. After a bunch of broken Zaps and frustration, Kate decided to search for a platform that could help her scale sustainably.
A Maternity Leave Game-Changer
Kate’s quest for an all-in-one platform brought her to Kartra, and she never looked back.
Kate explains, “I took the leap because Kartra had additional functionality and everything I needed in one place, saving me so much time.”
With Kartra’s assistance, she set up systems that allowed her to grow and serve thousands of clients, continuing to generate over six figures in revenue with less work. This empowered her to make a bigger impact on her clients’ lives while spending more time with her kids.
