How Erika Lyremark helped me whip my business into shape (FLS 025)
Ever wished you could find someone to help you whip your business into shape?
You know – someone who’d be honest and would call you on it when you were being completely off your rocker or kick you into motion if you were letting things slide?
Yeah, me too…which is precisely when I discovered and first worked with our featured business influencer.
This week is part 3 of my 4 part series featuring some of my biggest business influencers. If you missed the previous episodes, you can check them out here and here.
Today’s episode features my #TBT interview with Erika Lyremark (who’s also been mentioned on past shows with other guests!).
Erika has so much to teach women business owners about the power of confidence and the impact it can have on your business.
Here’s what we talked about:
- Her dynamic and varied work experiences prepared her for starting her own business and have continued to be a big part of her business growth.
- Some juicy details about her very first launch — including pricing, her fears and getting support
- Why Erika thinks it’s more important to gain confidence than to make money.
- What Erika learned about hiring before you’re ready – and how that’s not always a good idea
- Erika also shares how she likes to be an elegant hustler…and what that means!
Keep in mind that Erika’s business has evolved even more now – and if you’re curious how, I highly recommend checking her out…and being part of the next round of her signature program….

Great interview Anne. I stumbled on this podcast this morning and it was so refreshing and affirming. From talking about how sweet it is to start small to how she changed from The Daily Whip to using her name as the domain, Erika was real about how it is to be in business. How it’s okay to be scared and let your confidence build and how she built her business one person at a time.
As entrepreneurs we can feel pressure and plan for unrealistic outcomes for our business that keep us from moving forward. . sometimes based on the business model of a popular influencer or guru. I quickly discovered that business models are not “one size fits all” and success is not guaranteed. It’s good to take wisdom and learn from different people, but in the end we’ve gotta do what feels right for us. Good stuff.
