Don't Chase Someone Else's Success
Kate Ahl is the Owner and Founder of Simple Pin Media, a Pinterest management company. Simple Pin Media helps clients focus on their businesses by taking over all aspects of Pinterest marketing. After working with over 600 Pinterest accounts, they've learned how to pin for all types of companies and niches. Kate has taught tens of thousands about Pinterest marketing through various speaking engagements and her podcast, The Simple Pin Podcast.
In this episode…Before she started Simple Pin Media, Kate Ahl was facing complete poverty. Living on food stamps and running out of unemployment, Kate knew she had to make a change. A friend gave her the idea to manage Pinterest accounts, and Kate began investing in the opportunity. Now, the company has scaled to 38 employees, 120 clients, two memberships, and a podcast. How did Kate do it?
A major part of Kate’s accomplishment was making sure that she didn’t chase someone else’s success. She got clear on who she serves — clients, the community, and customers — and stuck to it. Wherever you are in life, your path is your path. Just because you're different from somebody else doesn't mean you're not successful.
