Being a part of the 1% – NOT the 99%

Sometimes.

No.

ALL OF THE TIME, you have to assess and understand the situation you are in.

There is a force that is trying to hold you back. It is trying to keep you discouraged and down about EVERYTHING. It DOES NOT want to see you (or me) WIN.

Period.

Now I love being motivational, inspiring and always ready to say the right words that uplift mankind (or womankind wink, wink).

But.

You know “being nice” all of the time – for lack of better words, is not always effective. Actually, it can create a sense of of false reality. It can disregard accountability. And stop people from being successful. Now, Kim is in no way saying “be mean” because that is never the answer. But you MUST BE “REAL”, “CANDID”, “STERN”, “STRAIGHT UP”. Yes! This is what I’m talking about. If you (and I know you do) consider yourself the 1%, then you need to toughen up Bee-utiful! Yes, Kim too! As a matter of fact, this may have been one of my most difficult practices. Being tougher on myself as well as others. Raising my level of expectation.

As an Entrepreneur, it is vital that we know how to seek assistance, encourage ourselves and even kick ourselves in the butt (not beat ourselves up, just light some fire to get us into action or discipline).

Part of it is mindset. Part of it is focused discipline. The rest is action.

I’ve worked with people in government jobs and non=profit agencies, and while they may be some very good-hearted people with (seemingly) equally good intentions. They can also be some of the biggest complainers, most lazy self-entitled individuals to work with. Now Kim you’re being mean. Nope. I’m being real. There’s something very unique about working in the private sector (especially sales) and even more so as an Entrepreneur (aka biz owner). Those individuals possess an innate (or developed) ability to hustle. And that attitude is what’s required to stay in the game. And Win.

Again, Entrepreneurship is NOT for a lazy, self-entitled, seeking to get something for nothing kind of person.

No. It’s for visionaries, go-getters, passionate and transparent people who have a tenacious desire to “create” to “make things happen”. Not whine. Not complain. Not blame outside circumstances.

No. People like You and Me. That see it. Own it. Beecome it. Live it.

In that order.

Having a company that’s five (5) years old is a BIG deal to me. Choosing to be in the 1% of people who are financially successful is a choice that we make. It doesn’t happen overnight. It happens over days, months, years of staying the course. Being mentored. Silencing the naysayers and consistently removing the distractions.

So stay awake. Get up every single day and move toward your vision. You are part of the 1%, so act as if it’s already happened. And when you continue putting one foot in front of the other, moving non-stop. YOU WILL. I repeat, YOU WILL reach your destination and have lots of fun on the journey.

These are the same practices that have been making me an Expert, Authority Figure, Sought After, Super Star! No, Seriously lol. I have been graciously invited to attend two (2) private events (100% paid for). Asked to be a speaker on a panel to share my entrepreneurial journey. And showcase my company to a network of over 700 people (again, at no cost). And all of this is happening this month. Next month is already booked with engagements and invitations as well.

Lesson learned. Once we say “Yes”. Bee Ourselves. And keep putting one foot in front of the other. Tada! The magic happens. Miracles breakthrough. People come to you. Opportunities hunt you down. And the money is made.

P.S. Goal Setting, Journaling, Mindset and Most Importantly – Mentoring! ALL play a HUGE part in your success journey. Don’t do it alone and Definitely don’t put it off. has a very unique opportunity right now. So come on over and get Power-Packed Motivational Talk. Live and Pre-recorded Training Sessions – that teach you both Mindset and Skillset.

Bee the Queen – not the peasant. Bee the 1%.

Love ya!
