Turn Your Passion Into a Business with Social Media // EP53: I Have Today

Kat Sullivan is the CEO and founder of Marketing Solved as well as the creator of Tassi, an automated social media software service designed for busy small business owners. 

Kat is the marketing expert responsible for the success of many top entrepreneurs today. She’s shared the stage with the likes of Jack Canfield, Kevin Harrington, Leeza Gibbons, Russel Brunson, and other thought leaders and influencers. She’s been featured in prominent publications like Inc, Entrepreneur, and Fast Company as an emerging leader in the online marketing space.

Like most success stories, Kat didn’t start out as an in-demand marketing expert. She was on track to a successful career in corporate finance. But that came to a halt when she and her husband lost their jobs after the economic collapse of 2008. On top of that, she found out she was pregnant the day she lost her job. 

Kat refused to let circumstances control her life. She decided she had to do something that allowed her to stay home while she prepared to become a new mom. She started blogging about her pregnancy. That changed her life. 

Thousands of people started reading what she had to say, and her blog took off. She started getting attention from companies that wanted to reach her audience. She collaborated with big names like Walmart, Disney, and Mattel, taking her business and reputation to a whole new level.

People often want to know how Kat achieved so much within a short amount of time. It turns out that social media was the secret to her success. She got started on social media early. 

In 2010, not every business had a Facebook page. But Kat recognized the power of social media early on. She set up a Facebook page for her blog and engaged with her audience on a regular basis. 

The best part was that she was just being herself and authentically sharing her pregnancy experience. That’s the power of social media: It lets you earn money just for being yourself. 

What’s your special gift? What’s the thing that comes naturally to you that you could leverage to add value to others? It’s often hard for us to believe there might be value in the things we’re good at. 

You might be surprised at how many people might want what you have to offer. But there’s  no better place than social media to make money just for being you.

Each week, we provide you with a mantra meditation, a fun, transformational way to apply the concepts in each episode. Tell yourself the story of what you want, without all of the limitations, and watch your life begin to change! Listen to this week’s mantra meditation to grow in self-love. 

Letting go of the expectations of others, and growing in the confidence and love of who you are and all that you are capable of, is the only way to truly move forward in success and fulfillment. Each day, we are surrounded by people who are doing the best that they can. Listen in to this week’s mantra meditation, embrace self-compassion, and extend compassion to your relationships.
