Erica’s Gems: Don’t Give Up!

On September 12, 2019, Erica Smith quit her corporate job and transitioned into full time entrepreneurship and motherhood. Six months pregnant with her second child, both she and her husband knew she had to make her business work! After an emotional first day, with thoughts of, "Yes! Now I'm free!" all the way down to "Oh my gosh! What did I do?" she gathered a laser-like focus and closed out her first week as an entrepreneur with over $9,000 in sales! By the end of the month she had booked over $20K and knew without a doubt, she was headed for greatness. Born and raised in mid-size Shreveport, LA, this Louisiana girl has always had a passion for all things, sales, marketing, business building and entrepreneurship. With an irresistible charisma and super relatable personality, Erica Smith is dominating the personal branding and online entrepreneurship industry. After her successful business launch in September 2019, Erica founded The Millennial School of Business by Hey Erica Smith in April of 2020, a four quarter online program for aspiring business owners and entrepreneurs, that teaches them how to create, market and scale any business, digitally. Her students have produced over $30K in revenue from her teaching and she currently holds a 1.2K% ROI, meaning, on average her students make their investment back TWELVE times! Erica also hosts The Hey Erica Smith Morning Show, an online video podcast for entrepreneurs and business owners. Every Tuesday morning on YouTube and Facebook, Erica produces a show to help you better navigate the ins and outs of business and marketing. She's a mom of four (bonus mom of her oldest two) and she has a sweet spot and passion for parenting, home decor, natural hair and cooking. On her blog, heyericasmith.com, she talks more in depth about all things entrepreneurship, lifestyle and motherhood. She's been married to her husband Sederek for four years. The greatest piece of advice Erica has for new and aspiring entrepreneurs is to just, "Start The Business". It's the student motto of MSB. "I wouldn't be where I am today, if I hadn't decided to just 'Start the Business'. I want to encourage you that you ARE enough and you have everything that you need -- and if by chance you're missing anything, I'm here to help you fill in the blanks, as long as you just start."
