Cait Scudder is a business coach and success catalyst for driven, bold-hearted women who want it all – global impact, bursting income, and the legacy that comes from building a movement bigger than themselves. As CEO of a multi-six figure online business coaching empire, Cait serves as the fearless front-woman of the boss babe revolution. A true trailblazer, she leads other inspired femme-preneurs in the fight to courageously make their dreams a reality, all while truly enjoying life and traveling the world with her husband. Cait’s story began in 2012 while earning her Education MA from Smith College. She was awarded a Project Coach fellowship training at-risk inner-city youth to be leaders in their communities. With a newfound passion and gift for teaching, Cait entered the world of academia only to discover that the 9-to-5 grind left her burned out, frustrated, and unfulfilled. In 2015, Cait left her treaching career behind and sojourned to Bali to plan her next move. There she took an internal deep-dive to rediscover her own passions and, just two years later, after creating a plan and executing it, Cait established a multi-faceted business coaching enterprise run entirely from her laptop – one which she scaled to six figures in her first 12 months. Having learned how to trust in her deepest passions, identify her unique zone of genius, and leverage that genius to serve the world, Cait now teaches other women to do the same and earn the money they deserve while bringing their unique gifts to the world in a big way. Featured in Forbes, Fast Company, and many more – Cait and her team now lead a tribe of more than 25,000 ambitious women across six continents in their quest to “nail their niche,” leverage their “zone of genius” to finally build the profitable business and radiant life of their dreams. Her wildly popular Born to Rise podcast is pure mental fuel for go-getters thirsty for the inspiration and actionable tools to help master their mindset, explode their business, and achieve everything that becomes possible “when you decide that now is your time to rise.”

When business started difficulties overcame:
“I would say among figuring out how the heck to run a business online and what hosting meant and how to get my at @CaitScudder on my email and all of the technical things. I think that something that was much more difficult than all of that was overcoming imposters syndrome. So overcoming the belief and the thought of who the heck am I to be doing this, this is ridiculous, like there is already so many people doing this, everybody’s going to do this better than me, I have no business doing this. And I think that is a fear and a block that if it doesn’t wipe you out completely it definitely gnaws away at you”…[Listen for More]

Other Quotes From the Chat with Cait Scudder:
- “I listened to so many podcasts, a lot of YouTube videos. There is so much information out there for you guys that is free, that is available right now and I would recommend to start reading and listening and watching and absorbing as much information as you can. And I am so grateful for having done this because it really opened my eyes into a world of possibilities”
- “the decisions you are making on a daily basis, look at your habits… look at your energetic diet – are you taking in the doubts of the people around you? Are you taking in no information at all and just listening to the screech of the subway on your way home or are you using that time to fill your brain and your mind and your heart with inspiration and with creativity and with things that actually foster you and fuel you forward? ”
- “I think success doesn’t happen randomly to people it’s something that can be cultivated and can be deliberately built into your life and it doesn’t have to start in any grandiose way, it can start really, really small”
- “look at the people you are surrounding yourself with, look at people, look at the inspiration that you are filling your mind with, obviously making sure that you are getting enough sleep”
