Katie Hornor’s inspirational story of ex-missionary to six-figure expat entrepreneur began over 14 years ago at her kitchen table while balancing a baby on her lap.
Having studied under some of the biggest names in the speaker, influencer & online marketing space, and been invited to the stages of Jeff Walker, Bari Baumgardner, Jessika Phillips, Dan Miller and others — she quickly became the go-to resource for her unique “work as worship” methods & mindset.
Her articles have been published in various places both on and offline including: The Huffington Post, Social Media Examiner Blog, and Homeschooling Today Magazine, and she's been featured in over 450 online news articles in every state in the USA and internationally.
The key to her success is systems, fun, iteration and submitting it all to the knowledge and leading of God as the Owner of her business.
Her Bible-based marketing and student experience strategies have helped her clients double their income, retire their spouses, and create businesses they enjoy – all without compromising their faith, family or their values.
Born in Binghamton, NY, in 1979, Katie currently serves her people from her home abroad in Campeche, Mexico, where she lives with her husband, managing their businesses, their local airbnb, their continued homeschool ministry, and the home education of their 5 children (1 graduated), 2 of whom currently have roles in their business.
