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.

I have to thank you for what you are doing. You have opened my eyes and reminded me of things I have lost along the way. You have inspired me and moved me to get back on track and become a better person not just for myself but for my kids. Thanks again. I can’t wait until next week.
First I want to start by saying thank you Jessica for speaking in a way that is so relatable, you put words to thoughts and feelings like no one I’ve ever heard speak. It truly is your gift! There are soooo many gems in every single one of your podcasts (yes I’m almost positive I’ve listened to them alllll). You don’t hold back and that’s what I absolutely loveeee about the podcasts. I think everyone needs a YOU in their life, super thankful for everything your share on this platform 🙏🏼
This was great!
I’ve personally been in this same space before after 8 years and choosing to walk away from it all for many of the same reasons. One of the hardest things to do but I knew it was ultimately best for me and for him as well. ❤️ Your soul knows best when you listen to it outside of your heart & mind.
It is so amazing to hear the growth that you had over the years and are now using this platform to help encourage others! These are topics that everyone can learn from. So excited to hear more and keep up the amazing work!
