Kate is a lady who has achieved some amazing sporting feats and achievements in her life. From completing an Ironman to completing a few 100km runs this lady knows something about perseverance, patience and commitment. It takes some kind of brain training to be able to push through all the barriers - mental and physical and achieve those goals.
And the same goes for her clothing company. Taking a risk on a really great idea and making it happen takes all those same essential skills - perseverance, patience and commitment. It also takes time, money, hard work and some late nights and early mornings to achieve as well.
One thing about getting a business up off the ground is that it takes the help of friends and family. You need a lot of goodwill and the occasional favour from people to make it happen. And the exact same is true for endurance sports events. It takes a team and a lot of commitment from a lot of people to get you across the finish line. Also at the end of this year (2013) Kate has made the decision to resign from her current employment so that she can focus her energies entirely on @korikita. And if there's one thing that she does well - its finishing what she starts. Through to full completion.
Kate joined twitter not all that long ago so she is still trying to find her feet a bit with the platform. And just like her personality in real life she has been able to make friends (and followers) in an instant. Her brilliant smile, bubbly personality and no bullshit approach to life make her instantly popular with those who get the opportunity to meet her.
So what's she like as a tweeter?
- Fitness - "Metabolic age of a 23yr old!!! Got to love it!!!"
- Committed - "Heading to Rotorua tough guy. Rain is setting in, misty, foggy and cold. This was a fantastic idea when I entered sat warm at my laptop."
- Enjoys repeat actions - "Pita pit again! They know my name and my order! Teehee!"
- Knows her values - "Belief in your ability is more important than having it!"
If you are looking for a tweeter who - knows who they are, has a good idea about where they are headed, will fill your timeline with uplifting positivity then @korikita is the follow for you. And the next time you're at an ultra running event keep an eye for a very slim, very smiley and talkative yet completely focused blonde ex-pat English woman. Chances are that could very well be Kate.
The last word for this post goes to Kate who in one tweet summarises her journey in life right now -
"Eeeekkkk! :) more opportunities! Something tells me I'm on the right track with life right now."
