Social to find out!<\/h1>\n<p>Kim Garst first started building a business from her home as a stay at home mom. She dove into technology and the internet when it was just getting started and quickly established herself as an expert. In a short amount of time, Kim had built a 7 figure business consulting and implementing the online business and marketing strategies for her clients. But she was exhausted and not happy with the lack of time with her family. \u00a0She sold her business, spent a few years building a networking marketing company and then began Boom! Social in 2012 where she brings all her online wisdom to help small businesses with their social media and general business growth needs! Kim dives in deep during so many parts of this inspiring interview &#8211; about what it took to sell her company, her advice on building a successful networking marketing (MLM) company and how she&#8217;s evolved throughout the years under her consistent and powerful brand! \u00a0Her candid story will definitely touch you!<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h2>Kim&#8217;s Kick-A$$ Quotes:<\/h2>\n<blockquote><p>I didn\u2019t want to sacrifice my family for my business.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<blockquote><p>To consistently work long hours each and every day defies the purpose for why we are in business for ourselves.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<blockquote>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">Social media is life and people connect around life events before they connect around your product or service.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h2>Kim&#8217;s Favorite Business Book<\/h2>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.audibletrial.com\/BusinessWomenRock\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\">The Slight Edge\u00a0<em>by Jeff Olson<\/em><\/span><\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.audibletrial.com\/BusinessWomenRock\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\">Maximum Achievement\u00a0<em>by Brian Tracy<\/em><\/span><\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.audibletrial.com\/BusinessWomenRock\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\">Jab Jab Jab Right Hook\u00a0<em>by Gary Vaynerchuk<\/em><\/span><\/a><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h2>Click below to listen to any book of your choice for FREE!<\/h2>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.audibletrial.com\/BusinessWomenRock\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/www.audibletrack.com\/impression.track?CID=102175&amp;AFID=305190&amp;ADID=671644&amp;SID=\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"250\" border=\"0\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<h2><\/h2>\n<h2><\/h2>\n<h2>Find out more about Kim &amp; Boom!
