She <\/span>\u201cdoesn\u2019t have the luxury of time\u201d<\/span><\/i> in her day for activities that do not improve people lives. She makes exercise a priority for 45 minutes a day, every day, and practices additional self-care to keep her body and mind functioning at their best. And that includes daily prayer.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

She reads every email that comes to her, because she feels that often, there is more to the story than what is written. Sometimes she responds on the show, other times via email, and she is even prone to picking up the phone and calling the writer to dig deeper. She deeply cares about her listeners problems and concerns and strives to provide them solutions\u2014real solutions that can improve their lives even if technology is not the final answer.<\/span><\/p>\n

Reinvention is another key to her success. Every 18-24 months, Kim reviews her life, her relationships, her thoughts, and her business and lets go of what is no longer needed while expanding on what is. She consistently tries new things and always uses prayer to guide her in knowing which path to take. As a parent, she understands that as your child grows, you have to grow, too. The same goes for serving the world\u2014you need to grow with the times to stay relevant and needed, or you risk becoming obsolete, like the TV repairman. (If you ever get the opportunity, ask her about the TV repairman story. You won\u2019t be disappointed.)<\/span><\/p>\n

What did I learn from spending time interviewing Kim Komando? That love for others, dedication to craft, digging below the surface of an idea or story even when others are not, and trusting in yourself and someone bigger than you are the keys to success I want to embrace… just as Kim has.<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
