I want this episode to give you the confidence you need to stop preparing and start winging it. It won’t be perfect but if will be perfectly you, and you’re beautiful. There is freedom in recognizing the value of your own unique perspective and purpose, and I want you to be free from the excuses that stopped you in the past. Once you recognize how incredible your contribution already is, the sky is the limit. 

I’ve met a lot of very successful people, and I’ve seen first-hand that the more real and authentic you are, the more successful you can become. I put Martha Stewart in that category as someone who is living her purpose. She’s a hero of mine and you’ll have the listen to the episode to hear the wild thing I said on stage in front of her in order to get her attention. Oh boy did I get it. Don’t miss this episode of The Kim Gravel Show.

My favorite quote this week:
"I want to talk to you about purpose in a way that is unprepared. I want you to start winging it" -Kim
