The Power of Grit

By Breakthrough Academy. 

Going from zero to an eight-figure contracting company with the power of perseverance.

   
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? 
- Two key pieces of advice for young trades entrepreneurs
