Tweetable Quotes
“Events happen in our lives all the time that we have no control over. But, what I recognized at that point, was that I did have control over the responses or the choices that I made. And that would determine my outcomes.” (11:17) (Kim)
“I wanted to create a firm that had a soul - a firm filled with humanity that puts clients first, not last - and that’s when I created Wealth Legacy Institute.” (16:43) (Kim)
“You have to have managing money tied to a financial plan for self-preservation and putting it in perspective.” (21:38) (Kim)
“Money finds you when your frequency is high. And, when we have high frequency is when we have joy, when we have aliveness, when we have gratitude, when we have self-love, when we have self-respect, when we have consciousness and awareness. That raises up our frequency to understand for money to find us. And how does money find us? Well, money finds us through our ideas, and ideas are abundant.” (25:02) (Kim)
“I think the struggle allows, for the other side, gratitude.” (37:10) (Kim)
