On this episode of Alumni Direct's show "ATHLETES TO ENTREPRENEURS: The Alumni Journey," we talk to Kim Brady, former college soccer player and founder of Little Bit Cleaning and Kim Brady Coaching.
Kim tells us about her love for soccer that started at an early age, her experience playing with the best of the best, and what motivates her.
How did growing up playing sports shape you?
"I always say that soccer is my guiding light. When I was just 5 years old, I joined my first team. Soccer gave me discipline. I wanted to compete because I loved the game and I wanted to get better. Soccer gave me the internal driver of life skills of wanting to get better when things are hard. I had this never-give-up attitude of "If I'm good enough, they'll select me, but in order for me to be good enough, I have to do the work."
Let's talk about the importance of networking and connecting.
"Networking makes or breaks you. And that's not just a job situation. I look at networking as building relationships...Everything that I've done in my life is always about relationships and being a helper and being a servant leader."
"The networking piece is just staying true to your core values and aligning yourself with companies and people that sit with your core values, and building great relationships overtime. And that was ultimately what helped catapult me into entrepreneurship."
