79 - Breaking Six Figures in Corporate Sales AND a Side Hustle w/ Kimberly Kesterke

<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">If you love the idea of breaking through six figures and you love the idea of earning that much at the same time through a side hustle, you won’t want to miss this conversation. Our guest this week on She Sells Radio is Kim Kesterke, a full-time mom, corporate employee, and real estate investor. She’s got over 15 years of experience managing her own portfolio and is passionate about helping you build a legacy of wealth. Today, she’s sharing how she does it and how you can too. </span></p> <p> </p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Kim has a robust background in both corporate and real estate investing spaces. Sales were her first job out of college, and shortly after that, she was looking to purchase a house. In 2006, the market was on fire, and in 2008, it crashed--she was underwater at 28. So, she had to pivot and find renters for her properties. Every year she added a few more properties, eventually building up enough passive income that she can do that and hold a full-time job. </span></p> <p> </p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Her mindset was based on failure not being an option. Being open to opportunity is key in this journey. Flexibility, now more than ever, is becoming necessary. For many, it’s time to start looking at options and going down that path. Having certainty and understanding what is available to you when you remove failure is powerful. </span></p> <p> </p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">It’s important to know that sales is a rollercoaster. There will be good and bad days! The truth is, it’s about perseverance and having patience. Uncovering motivation will lead to a rewarding feeling.  </span></p> <p> </p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Katie’s approach to success when starting something new and building recognition quickly was grounded in networking and introducing herself to clients. She started expanding by building relationships and getting introduced to other projects. Quarterly reviews allowed for her to identify other opportunities. Addi
