"In the middle of every difficulty lies opportunity."
– Albert Einstein
Is your business working for you? What happens to your business when you have to course correct or change direction?
In this episode, we're talking with one of my favorite guests and humans, Kim Weldin. If you haven't met Kim Weldin yet, she’s a certified integrator and virtual assistant coach on a mission to help women—especially moms—build thriving businesses while maintaining a life full of passion, self-care, and FUN!
After spending 10 years as a special education teacher, Kim made the leap into entrepreneurship to create more flexibility for her family, particularly for her daughter, who requires multiple therapies due to Fragile X Syndrome and Autism.
Starting out as a virtual assistant, Kim’s entrepreneurial journey has been anything but ordinary. She’s refreshingly candid about the highs and lows of business ownership and isn’t afraid to get real about hitting rock bottom. Instead of following the typical industry advice, she forged her own path, embracing authenticity and resilience to build the thriving business she has today.
Now, four years later, Kim is a certified integrator, helping female visionaries turn their big ideas into organized, actionable plans. From streamlining workflows to managing complex projects, Kim transforms chaos into clarity—always with a generous serving of fun, sass, and positivity.
Beyond her integrator services, Kim is passionate about empowering women to step into the virtual assistant world. She’s preparing to launch her first product, 7 Days to Launch: Your VA Business Action Plan, with a mission to help moms start their VA businesses for $47 or less. On top of that, she’s also pouring her heart into The Soulful Balanced Journal, a side passion project that came to her serendipitously, designed to help women cultivate balance and well-being in their lives.
As a neurodivergent mom, business owner, Jesus-loving, and a little woo woo, Kim embraces a holistic approach to life and work. This unique balance inspired her to create The Soulful Balanced Journal, a tool she developed to track her own sleep, mood, and spiritual practices, such as daily affirmations and intentions. The journal also features a space for reframing the mind and choosing daily micro-actions, leading to progress on an action board—her twist on a vision board.
Today we talk about:
- What to consider when you come to a crossroads in your business
- How to navigate tough times and what to consider as you're deciding on your path forward
- How to detach your self-worth from your 'success' in business
- The importance of surrounding yourself with the right people (in life and business)
- What are Kim's favorite books so far in 2024
I know whether you are experiencing the highs or lows of building your business you're going to find something helpful in today's episode!
