Encounter with Kim Malone, Founder of Reality Check by Kim

In this episode of Entrepreneur Encounters, I interview Kim Malone, a retired Probation and Parole Agent and now the founder of Reality Check by Kim.  She shares how important it is to rely on a support system to be successful, the difference between customers and users of her services, and how to persevere through struggles in your business. In her business, she delivers presentations, workshops, and seminars that advocate to  young people on where they are on their own awareness journey using real-life examples, scenarios, and guest speakers. She gives them the opportunity to have a feeling of belonging and being understood through her transformational learning tools and motivational interviewing techniques.    Preview of this episode: 02:20: Young people understand that their actions, their decisions, and their behavior have, consequences to them. 4:35: I think typical of a lot of entrepreneurs is that they have a passion and desire to really chart a path that others haven't charted that way before. 15:30  Things may not always go as we thought they were gonna go, but you just pivot and work to what it is and still make sure that you are being your authentic self and giving your all.  20:00 You know, I think one time just being in the process a lot of times about when we ask the question, we're putting our mind into a position that we're ready to receive more information. 23:05 I think once I got over that fear a little bit and it started. What I was doing was starting to roll and then I built more confidence in how to deliver it and how to say it, it all just starts building and then you just blossom.   Learn more about Kim: Reality Check by Kim Website→www.realitycheckbykim.com Facebook→ www.facebook.com/kim.malone.925 Both Sides of the Fence Website Podcast→Spotify Link to Both Sides of the Fence Podcast   Do you want to learn more about Milwaukee's Small Business Coach?  Visit our website (https://mkebusinesscoach.com/) to find resources to help your small business grow.  I would love to meet you, so let's set up some time to transform your small business Hard Work into Hard Cash.     - Brent Halfwassen, MKE's Small Business Coach
