Episode notes

What if the very thing you’re afraid of is the thing that sets you free? On stage at the Powerhouse Women event, I sit down with award-winning entrepreneur and best-selling author Kim Perell to talk about how she built a $100 million business from a $10,000 loan, the mindset that helped her push through rejection, and why sisterhood is the secret to sustainable success. Kim shares about making million-dollar mistakes, the power of the 70% rule, what it really takes to ask for help, and how she mentors rising entrepreneurs (even if they're just one year behind her). Tune in to make faster decisions and trust yourself more.
