In this episode of Stop, Look and Listen, we meet Katie Horner, a ministry wife turned entrepreneur who opened her heart and shared her inspiring journey with us. Katie, alongside her husband, embarked on a daring adventure; from ministering in South Carolina to starting a business in Mexico. She sheds light on how this cultural shift, a Mexico that prizes people over schedules, fostered an environment where she could thrive as an entrepreneur.
The vibrant flamingo population of Mexico became an integral part of Katie’s brand story. These flamingos, emblematic of individuality and authenticity, inspired Katie to channel the same energy into her business. Katie paints a striking image of the ‘Mexican Time’ concept and the transformative experience of observing wild flamingos in their natural habitat. This notion of embracing uniqueness, much like the flamingos, has been instrumental in attracting the right people to Katie’s business.
The intersection of faith and business plays a significant role in Katie’s life. Katie’s experiences as an educator, ministry wife, and mother of five have informed her approach to entrepreneurship. We discuss the critical role of faith in decision-making, defining success, and the overall trust in the divine plan. Katie introduces us to her “K Strategy,” an innovative approach to marketing that emphasizes kindness and alignment with personal values. Join us as we navigate through the challenging terrains of faith-led entrepreneurship with Katie’s insightful stories and life lessons.
