Erika Lyremark (Lira-mark) is the mastermind behind The Daily Whip where she works with female leaders, influencers, and experts to help them…
Cultivate cutting edge personal brands
Develop WINNING products & services
Create custom-built marketing plans
Construct whip-smart sales funnels
Shape powerful promotional strategies
Showing early entrepreneurial skills when she let her brother throw a pie in her face for $5, Erika wheeled and dealed her way through high-school, earned degrees in Apparel Design and Women Studies (with an emphasis on China Studies), spent 9 years swinging around a stripper pole, went on to co-create a multi-million dollar commercial real-estate investment company, and then launched her own business coaching consultancy in 2011.
Erika documented her experiences in her best-selling book Think Like A Stripper, lauded by Dan Pink as “a smart and provocative read”, while Shark Tank’s Barbara Corcoran says “Erika will not only whip you into shape with her wit, humor, and no-nonsense advice, but show you how to bounce back from failure and become the confident sales superstar you’re meant to be.”
Running her business from an elegant (of course!) and secret location, Erika spends her leisure time…
Drinking green smoothies,
Eating take-out with her hunky husband,
Admiring photos of Elo – her adorable adopted orangutan who lives in Indonesia.
And texting the Bugatti headquarters with suggestions on what to call the next generation of sports coupes. The Lyremark, of course.
