Highlights:  [5:00] Comfort and success [17:21] How to be good enough [32:30] Service and sales   Meet Kim Shernoff: Kim is a Sales Mindset Coach. For almost two decades, she was a Director of Sales in the Human Capital Management space for Kenexa, an IBM Company –  Now, she works with small business owners of all sizes, who are experts in their field but uncomfortable in sales- Unlock Their Sales Mindset. Kim is someone who at a young age figured out her passion was helping people feel good about themselves and the work they do. This comes from her experiences of feeling like she was sitting on the sidelines of life.   For her, it started at an early age knowing she was "different" from others. It began with the birthmark on her leg and then told in 2nd grade since dyslexic, that graduating High School should be her crowning achievement.  She also found herself being made fun of and called fat for being overweight and faced other personal hurdles.   Once Kim changed her mindset and put in extra work, she graduated with honors, got an accelerated MBA, and taught college at 24.  She lost 65lbs on her own and has managed to keep it off for over 20  years.  She went on to be the top producer on her male-dominated sales team for over 13 years. She realized her personal mindset work is what propelled her forward in sales and in life. She now combines that same winning strategy to help small business owners. She is a certified Health and Wellness Coach and was recently named a Sellizer top 100 sales influencers for 2022. What I love about Kim is that she is the epitome of creating her life, in spite, of what the outside world said. So often in life we are confronted by someone else's opinion, a cruel or unkind comment that if we buy into, can not only hold us back, but can ultimately have us give up on our dreams. In order for any of us to be a true success and create the life we have dreamed of, we must learn how to source the belief in ourselves... from ourselves. And when we do learn to do that... well, there is literally nothing we cannot do. Today we are going to not only hear a little more about Kim's amazing story but also dive into some of the secrets she's learned along the way.  So regardless of whether you want to fortify your mindset, improve your ability to sell, or are up for completely redesigning your entire life… this is the episode for you.   Connect with Kim:  www.kimberlyshernoff.com www.saleswithkim.com https://www.linkedin.com/in/kimberlyshernoff/ ...

Compassionate Capitalists invest in private companies to bring innovation to market, create jobs and grow the local economy!  To get the return on investment, it requires an exit - IPO or selling the company.  This is true for the founder too.  Positive exits don't happen by magic, they happen when the founders & exec team SCALE the Company to be worthy of the multiple expected for the target ROI. This interview with Zahir Ladhani looks at the growth strategies that are tried and true, mathematically data grounded, and necessary for the desired out come.  Unfortunately, not every CEO follows this road map. They may find themselves stuck and their investors frustrated. Strategy is fun, but if proper steps haven't been taken, it is an exercise in futility. Listen and learn how to get unstuck or avoid the pitfalls of stagnation so you can SCALE to get the exit and return on investment you expected when you launched your company or invested in that startup.  Zahir Ladhani serves as the Managing Director of Velocity Strategic Consulting, a firm that guides CEOs and Exec teams to accelerate and manage business growth. Zahir brings more than 30 years of ‘in the trenches’ experience starting with the acquisition of Salary.com by Kenexa and then IBM's acquisition of Kenexa. More info and contact Zahir:  https://velocitystrategicconsulting.com/ Karen Rands is the sought after expert on raising private capital and managing direct public offerings under Reg CF, Reg D 506c, Reg A+ and Intrastate Exemption Reg D 504 offerings. She is the best selling author of Inside Secrets to Angel Investing, and the founder of the Compassionate Capitalist Movement.  For more info and to connect visit http://karenrands.co Also on YOUTUBE: https://youtu.be/TPQUniG5nOk
