Manage. Build. Kim is truly one of our highest performing contractors in the Breakthrough Academy Program.  She’s an awarding-winning luxury high-performance home builder in Kelowna, BC, Canada.  Some people have grit, some have talent.  Kim is one of those rare individuals who has both and she has a story that needs to be heard. While she enjoys success today (she’s won many awards including Best Design-Build Firm in BC, her waitlist is booked out a couple of years in advance, and she owns a massive portfolio of income-generating real estate), it wasn’t that long ago that she had to decide between feeding herself or putting gas in her car.   And that’s what I think I love most about her story of perseverance… how close she came to not being the success she is today. And I think that’s the case for a lot of people at the top of their game. Big risk equals big reward   In Today’s Episode Kim tells us: Why it pays to work for free in the right circumstances The big picture benefits of never compromising on quality The core principles that took Kim from 1 to 10 million a year in annual revenue Whether you should you hire for a role before you can afford it? How do you maintain quality as you scale? 2 key pieces of advice for young trades entrepreneurs See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
