Reframe Your Journey

In this episode of the Reframe Your Journey podcast, I talk with Personal Branding Strategist, Erica Rankin on her journey from launching a small snack business from her apartment and amassing a huge online following (mainly leveraging organic reach on LinkedIn)  to now teaching  business owners how build their brand on social media. Along the way, Erica has openly shared the ups and downs of her entrepreneurial journey in an admirably authentic, courageous, and very down-to-earth Canadian way.

• The fine line of sharing too much of your personal life
• How to try and manage your energy when leading a business and wearing so many hats
• How to handle the constant need of people wanting your time or wanting a reply from you
• No one is obligated to your time
• The importance of setting boundaries and finding time with yourself
• Growing comfortable with yourself, your non-negotiables and your lifestyle choices
• That elusive balance in the world of entrepreneurship
