259: Erin Smith, Founder of The Starters Club

Today's guest is a business strategist and self-proclaimed serial entrepreneur. Her story began when Erin dreamed of climbing the corporate ladder after reading Rich Dad, Poor Dad (written by Robert Kiyosaki, a former So Money guest!) where she finally learned the meaning of “financial freedom.”  To her, financial freedom had always been about a job and 4% annual raises, but now it was about ownership.  By her late 20’s, Erin got her realtor’s license and was owner of two homes. She then created a part-time pet-sitter company.  Within two years the part-time job became a six-figure income with 12 employees.  Five years later, she sold the pet company and opened a mobile spray tanning business.  Nine months later, she had created another successful business venture.  Since then, she has spent time helping and investing in others and their ventures.  She’s taken products to market, launched online businesses and has taken on massive marketing changes and plans for businesses in a variety of industries.  Since her dream is to help others, she created The Starters Club, which aims to help people wherever they are in their journey of entrepreneurship by working closely together and connecting entrepreneurs to the resources they need to help grow their business.  She's also written the book Master the Start: 10 Steps To Get Out Of Your Own Way and Create Your Dream Business and started a podcast to accompany her business, The Starters Club where she discusses entrepreneurial topics and interviews guests.
