Kim Perell: Hate Your Job But Don’t Know What to Do Next? Ask Yourself THESE 7 Questions and Build a Step-by-Step Plan for the Career You ACTUALLY Want

Kim Perell: Hate Your Job But Don’t Know What to Do Next? Ask Yourself THESE 7 Questions and Build a Step-by-Step Plan for the Career You ACTUALLY Want

Today, Jay sits down with serial entrepreneur, investor, and powerhouse mom of four, Kim Perell. Known for building her first company from her kitchen table and later selling one for $235 million, Kim shares the raw, behind-the-scenes truth of what it takes to turn failure into fortune. The conversation centers around Kim’s latest book, Mistakes That Made Me a Millionaire, and offers a heartfelt blueprint for anyone feeling stuck, unfulfilled, or uncertain about their next move.

Jay and Kim explore why perfectionism can sabotage progress, how fear often masks itself as procrastination, and why waiting to feel “fully qualified” often leads to missed opportunities. Kim introduces her 70% rule: a concept that encourages action over hesitation and reveals how taking small, imperfect steps helped her overcome self-doubt and build extraordinary businesses. The two also dive into the power of mentorship, the emotional toll of toxic relationships, and why surrounding yourself with the right people is crucial not just for professional growth, but for personal evolution.

In this interview, you'll learn:

How to Start a Business Before You Feel Ready

How to Use the 70% Rule to Make Bold Decisions

How to Find the Right Mentor and Build a Real Relationship

How to Stand Out When Pitching Yourself

How to Know When It’s Time to Pivot Your Business

How to Build a Winning Team Without Doing Everything Yourself

How to Audit Your Inner Circle for Growth and Clarity

Making mistakes doesn’t mean you’ve failed, it means you’re showing up, learning, and trying something new. No success story is smooth or simple, but all of them prove that progress is always possible.

With Love and Gratitude,

Jay Shetty
