My biggest regret when it comes to my career? Not asking for help sooner! I was embarrassed - everyone seemed to “get it” but me. The truth? We are all figuring it out as we go! We are ALL (hopefully!) still learning every day. In this episode we dove into all things business from bringing on investors and bootstrapping to how Coffee With Kim began and my thoughts on embracing cringe. I share how I incorporate learning into my life as an entrepreneur and how I outsource to free up time. I even got a bit spicy about my thoughts on AI lately and how to make sure mentors are right for you. This space is all about learning and growing together so if any questions come to mind while you’re listening shoot them over to hello@kimkaupe.com and I will be sure to set some time aside to answer them (yes, even if you think they’re silly)!
