Erica was one of the youngest people hired by Sun Microsystems, and at age 20, she was one of the 6 people internally responsible for Sun.com. She parlayed that expertise into running a web hosting company, which she sold for $1.1 million at age 26. From there, she developed one of the Internet's top entrepreneurship blogs, with over 1 million unique visitors annually. She went on to become the first marketing hire at WP Engine, directly responsible for a change that generated over $100M in annual revenue. Then, she went on to become CEO of a funded marketing software startup that was of the 10 companies selected for the inaugural class of Techstars Austin. She sold that company and invested in a one-man repair shop, using her marketing expertise to grow it to 7 locations and over 20 employees. That company now generates $3M in annual revenue. She has over 20 years' experience in programming and marketing, making her a unique combination of marketing excellence and technical leadership.   “A-lot of coaches advocate for following your passion, I advocate for making your business your passion.”  Erica Douglass   Today on Mastering Midlife: Being Authentic and Transparent in an Instagram World Balancing mental health issues for adults and kids with health concerns Why higher earners are often more dissatisfied Adding meaningful activities to our drive for financial success Dealing with a myriad of choices and paths If you want to be a successful entrepreneur, you have to be passionate about business.
