Perell has a new book called Mistakes that made me a millionaire. Mark Randolph, the co-founder of Netflix, calls it ‘indispensable reading’. In the book Perell gives a non -prolonged report of her entrepreneurial journey and it breaks how she changed career -misms in secret weapons that brought her to the front. Believe me, when you’re done listening, you want to get that idea out of your head and go to work!

View our entire conversation here and read below for three success -ravings that I have depicted from our inspiring Convo.

1. Be patient. Kim says there are no successes of the night. After she had lost her business job, she started her own digital marketing company from her kitchen table, using a $ 10,000 loan from her grandmother. “I was sitting at my kitchen table for three years, 16 hours a day, just sharpening,” she recalls. “It’s difficult. It’s lonely. But you have to be persistent, and if everyone would give up, you have to keep pushing.” Her tenacity has paid off. She sold that company for $ 20 million. And she didn’t stop there – the last company she sold went for $ 235 million. In the event that you are wondering, yes, she has repaid that loan to her grandmother, plus interest.
2. Make your shot. When it comes to investing, Kim says that she always supports great people about great ideas. “I want adaptable people who can find a way to win, regardless of circumstances. And to be honest, the idea always changes.” And she encourages everyone to go to a level and take their shot with you. “Pitch me your idea, I can’t wait!”
3. Business failure is not personal failure. Kim mentions her success in learning mistakes but not with them. “Your company can fail, but do not define or label yourself if that fail,” she says. “You have to be able to say” that was just something that happened “and continue.” She adds: “The only mistake you should never make is giving up yourself.”
