About this listen

We all make mistakes. But are you able to turn your mistakes into million-dollar opportunities?

For most people, the answer is no. For Kim Perell, it's a resounding yes.

The award-winning entrepreneur and best-selling author—with a proven track record of starting and selling companies and having invested in more than 100 businesses—is renowned for having the Midas touch. But a career spanning two decades has not been without pitfalls, failures, and setbacks.

Mistakes That Made Me A Millionaire isn't just Kim's third book—it's her manifesto to success. Packed with never-before-revealed stories, this treasure trove of advice, secrets, and wisdom is truly worth its weight in gold. Learn what most entrepreneurs will never tell you. Avoid the mistakes that cost Kim millions to learn, but will only cost you the price of this book.

From scrappy entrepreneur to boardroom titan, Kim started her first company from her kitchen table at the age of 23, became a multi-millionaire by the time she was 30, and sold her last company for $235 million. With searing honesty and drawing from her unparalleled experience, she has written a practical roadmap for success and a lifeline for those feeling overwhelmed by the ever-shifting landscape of leadership.

Whether you're an entrepreneur, business owner, young professional, or an aspiring leader, this book appeals to anyone requiring practical advice to achieve success. Kim bravely removes the shame of the societal taboo that "mistakes are bad." And instead forces readers to reframe mistakes as opportunities.

With her expert guidance, you get to explore life's most pressing questions:

- What's holding you back from success?

- Is your fear of failure keeping you stuck where you are? How do you know when you've stayed in a job too long?

- When is it time to make a pivot, and why are you resisting change?

By breaking down the mistakes that served as pivotal catalysts for change, Kim's journey provides real-life examples drawn from her experience working with companies and business leaders in tech, digital advertising, investing, AI, and consumer products.

Kim's tenacious and triumphant story serves as an essential guide to elevate your leadership, empower your teams, and embrace life's unique challenges. In short, Mistakes That Made Me A Millionaire is a masterclass from a world-class entrepreneur.

Every single chapter of this book was packed with so much value — I found myself taking pages of notes because there were so many practical insights I didn’t want to forget. It’s honestly one of the best books I’ve read in a long time. I’ve taken away something meaningful from every chapter, and I know I’ll keep referring back to it. Thank you so much to Kim and the team behind this book for creating such an incredible resource! - Nardia Kelemete Founder Us. Hair Official
