I often say that the path of an entrepreneur gets really messy sometimes, but with a little shift in perspective, these ugly moments can actually be invitations for you to step into something bigger and better for your business.
Today I am joined by Education Leadership Consultant & Entrepreneurship Coach Dr. Erica Jordan-Thomas to talk about what they don’t say about successful leadership and building a 7-figure business. From former school principal to now founder of EJ T Education Group, which houses EJT consulting and Six-Figure Educator, Dr. Erica Jordan-Thomas is on a mission to help Black women grow their education consulting businesses into six and seven empires.
In this episode, we talk about all the lessons that we’ve had to learn the hard way to build a multi-figure business. We talk about the catch-22 of successful leadership, creating & protecting your company culture, getting your team invested in your vision, going from delegating tasks to delegating decisions, and slowing down in order to speed up. We also open up about the identity crises that we went through as business owners and the shedding of our old selves in order to step into the 6, 7, or 8-figure business owner that we’re meant to be.
Erica drops a tonne of gems on me in this episode, so you definitely do not want to miss out on this - join in on the conversation and learn all about the unspoken yet vital parts of entrepreneurship with me and Erica today.

Jessica is awesome and I love all the knowledge, kindness, love, and grace she brings. I love her guests and their hearts to help others. I’m so inspired by her and grateful for this podcast and for her help in getting mine started. She’s absolutely amazing!
I absolutely love this podcast. I’ve only been listening for about 2 weeks but I’m hooked. The messages are always engaging. Jessica doesn’t fill up her talk time with a bunch of fluff and the content is always relatable. It’s amazing how authentic she is. The Stranded is definitely a MUST listen.
I needed this podcast! I wish I could have had it to help with the numerous obstacles growing up; however, I am extremely grateful to have it now. This podcast is helping me mend my brokenness and push for a better future! Thank you Jessica!
SERIOUSLY!! the perfect word and definition to describe this podcast; it is so eye opening, inspiring, motivating how could you not admire these women and their journeys? To inspire with just your voice is a talent in itself it’s something that is not taught but gifted to certain people who can change your mindset with just speaking at least in my opinion. One of my favorite quotes is ....You can have anything you want if you want it badly enough. You can be anything you want to be, do anything you set out to accomplish if you hold to that desire with singleness of purpose.” - Abraham LincolnThat’s all I could think of listening to this. 💜🙏🏻 thank you for sharing your stories. 🙏🏻
