Build a Business That Supports Your Life
At Success With Soul, we believe your business should support your life—not consume it.
You shouldn't have to sacrifice your health, relationships, creativity, or happiness just to build a successful business.
And you certainly shouldn't have to spend your entire day creating social media posts just to make a sale.
We help ambitious entrepreneurs build profitable, sustainable online businesses using practical strategies like SEO, email marketing, evergreen funnels, automation, and systems that continue working even when you're offline.
More revenue. Less hustle. More freedom.
Our Story
Success With Soul was founded by Kate Kordsmeier, an ICF-certified business coach, writer, and entrepreneur.
Kate began her entrepreneurial journey in 2015 after leaving her journalism career to create a holistic wellness blog, Root + Revel. She eventually grew the business into a successful media brand and sold it in 2021 for multiple six figures.
That experience revealed something important.
There was another way to build a business.
A way that didn't require constantly being online.
A way that didn't depend on going viral.
A way that could generate meaningful revenue while leaving room for an actual life.
Success With Soul was created to help other entrepreneurs discover that same possibility.
Business Without the Burnout
Traditional business advice often tells entrepreneurs to work harder.
Post more.
Launch more.
Hustle more.
Be everywhere.
We don't believe that's the only way—or even the best way.
At Success With Soul, we take a different approach.
We believe sustainable growth comes from building the right systems and strategies around the person behind the business.
That means creating a business that works with your life, your energy, your values, and your goals.
Life First. Strategy Second.
One of our core philosophies is simple:
Life leads and strategy follows.
Instead of forcing yourself into someone else's business model, we help you create a business that fits the way you actually want to live.
Maybe you want more time with your family.
Maybe you want to work fewer hours.
Maybe you want location freedom.
Maybe you want more financial stability without constantly chasing the next launch.
Or maybe you simply want to enjoy your business again.
Whatever success looks like for you, we're here to help you build it on your own terms.
You Don't Need Social Media
Success With Soul has become especially known for helping entrepreneurs grow without relying on social media.
Kate quit social media in 2021 and built her business around sustainable visibility strategies instead, including organic traffic, SEO, email marketing, evergreen content, and automated systems.
We believe your business shouldn't depend on constantly feeding an algorithm.
Instead, we focus on creating assets that can continue attracting the right people long after you've published them.
Create once. Optimize. Let it compound.
Strategy Meets Soul
We're not anti-strategy.
We're anti-strategy that ignores the human being implementing it.
Our approach combines practical business systems with mindset, self-care, intentionality, and personal alignment.
We believe you can be ambitious without being exhausted.
You can make money without sacrificing your values.
You can grow without being available 24/7.
And you can build something meaningful without becoming someone you're not.

For the Quietly Ambitious
Success With Soul is for the entrepreneur who wants more—but doesn't want to burn everything down to get there.
We're here for the ambitious person who wants financial freedom and freedom of time.
For the creative who wants structure without feeling boxed in.
For the introvert who doesn't want to become an influencer.
For the entrepreneur who wants sustainable growth instead of constant hustle.
And for anyone who believes that success should feel good—not just look good on paper.
Our Community
Business can feel lonely.
That's why community is such an important part of Success With Soul.
Our VIP Soul Circle gives clients and students a place to connect, learn, share experiences, and support one another in a social-media-free environment.
We believe success becomes even more meaningful when you don't have to build it alone.
Our Values
We Actually Care
We see customers as real human beings—not numbers on a spreadsheet.
We prioritize relationships, honesty, empathy, and exceptional customer experiences.
We believe in doing what we say we're going to do and treating people with respect.
We Embrace Imperfect Action
Mistakes aren't proof that you're failing.
They're part of learning.
We believe growth comes from taking action, experimenting, learning from what doesn't work, and continuing forward.
We Never Stop Learning
Business is always evolving.
So are we.
We're constantly learning, testing new ideas, improving our skills, and sharing what we discover with our community.
We Choose Sustainability Over Hustle
We don't believe success should require sacrificing your wellbeing.
Our goal is to create businesses that can grow while leaving room for rest, relationships, creativity, and the life you're building the business for in the first place.
Our Mission
Our mission is to empower entrepreneurs to build profitable online businesses that give them more freedom, flexibility, and fulfillment—without relying on hustle culture or social media.
We want to help you create a business that generates income while giving you back something even more valuable:
Your time.
Our Vision
We envision a world where entrepreneurs don't have to choose between financial success and a meaningful life.
Where businesses are built around people—not the other way around.
Where sustainable systems replace constant hustle.
Where marketing can be ethical, intentional, and human.
And where success means more than simply making more money.
Success on Your Own Terms
There is no single formula for success.
What works for one entrepreneur may be completely wrong for another.
That's why we don't believe in one-size-fits-all business models.
Instead, we help you discover what works for you—and build systems around it.
Because your business should reflect your values, your strengths, your goals, and the life you actually want to live.
You don't need more hustle.
You need a business that works for you.
