Kat Merritt’s story isn’t just inspiring—it’s a wake-up call for anyone who thinks success is about having the perfect product. She started her entrepreneurial journey at just 11 years old, selling nightcrawlers to local fishermen. That’s right, an 11-year-old turned bait into business. And the reason she succeeded? She didn’t just focus on the product—she understood that sales, marketing, and team building are the *real* keys to success.

Here’s the truth: most entrepreneurs fail because they get so obsessed with the product that they forget about the real drivers of business—*sales*, *marketing*, and *building a team* that gets the job done. Kat learned that early. She’s seen how AI is changing the game for top performers, but don’t get it twisted. AI isn’t here to replace the innovators—it’s here to push out the weak players. If you’re adaptable, you can use technology to your advantage, not get left behind.

Kat also learned the hard way about the importance of leadership. Firing fast when someone isn’t a fit is tough, but it’s crucial. You can’t build a successful business with the wrong people around you. You need a high-performance team that’s aligned with your vision. The bottom line? Entrepreneurial success isn’t just about what you sell—it’s about creating systems, taking action, and constantly learning. Build your foundation in sales and marketing, and never stop developing yourself. That’s the real formula for success.
