The Mistakes That Make a Millionaire

from The Playbook · host David Meltzer, Entrepreneur.com

In today’s episode, I sit down with entrepreneur and author Kim Perell to talk about her book Mistakes That Made Me a Millionaire and the power of learning from failure. Kim built her first company from a $10,000 loan at her kitchen table and eventually sold it for $235 million, but she’s quick to say her real success came from her mistakes. We discuss why confidence must outweigh doubt, how waiting to feel “ready” can hold people back, and why choosing the right partners matters. Kim also shares how mentorship, generosity, and living by clear values create lasting success in business and life.
