We’re excited to introduce you to the always interesting and insightful Kimberly Gordon. We hope you’ll enjoy our conversation with Kimberly below.
Kimberly , so great to have you with us and we want to jump right into a really important question. In recent years, it’s become so clear that we’re living through a time where so many folks are lacking self-confidence and self-esteem. So, we’d love to hear about your journey and how you developed your self-confidence and self-esteem.
My self esteem & confidence came from my father. My father raised us to love ourselves flaws & all! He once put me in front of the mirror and explained to me I was made in God’s image & likeness…I didn’t understand it at the time…but as I became a young woman, it definitely hit home!
Thanks for sharing that. So, before we get any further into our conversation, can you tell our readers a bit about yourself and what you’re working on?

Looking back, what do you think were the three qualities, skills, or areas of knowledge that were most impactful in your journey? What advice do you have for folks who are early in their journey in terms of how they can best develop or improve on these?
3 qualities that were most important in building my business were: – Perseverance
– Consistency
– Dedication to Excellence
What was the most impactful thing your parents did for you?
The most impactful thing my parents did was enforce daily reading for an hour! I didn’t understand it as a child but I have vivid memories of the stories I read & stumbling over the big words I read! LOL!
It developed my vocabulary at an early age and taught me a vast amount of knowledge about world affairs & history.
