Kate Erickson’s back! When she first appeared on the show, she shared some of the key processes and philosophies behind Entrepreneur on Fire’s (EOFire) operational excellence. This time, she’s giving us an audio tour of the game-changing technology she credits with powering the back-office operations of EOFire’s 7-figure business – Asana.

As the “heartbeat” and Chief Implementer at EOFire, Kate’s passion and enthusiasm for ensuring information and work flows as seamlessly and efficiently as possible is evident. Although you may only know Asana as a task and project management tool, you might be surprised to learn how she also uses it as a team communications hub.

In this episode, Kate describes their overall process from getting information into Asana and assigning due dates to divvying up work amongst their remote team and keeping the lines of communication open. Listen as she explains why Asana’s simplicity and ease of use made it ripe for quick adoption in building their business infrastructure. As a bonus, you’ll also learn some of Kate’s favorite productivity resources that you can apply to your growing business!
