"I have total trust and confidence in Lenora."

05.06.08

In the 4th installment in this case study series, I'd like for you to meet Randy Kim, Owner, R.W. KIM & Company (Financial Planning & Wealth Management)

Q: What led you to work with Lenora?
A: After thirty years of being in the corporate world and in the same industry, I wanted to go into private practice. I wanted to create an entirely new and unique business model. I had a lot of previous exposure to industry coaches with marketing and branding expertise as well as practice and organizational management skills. I wanted an outsider's perspective....something different.

Q: What did you work on?
A: I began working with Lenora to hone my business model and brand.
Lenora's work with me was very personalized, not a class where one size fits all. It was customized to focus on achieving a few specific goals. I was a good student. Everything she gave me I took seriously and I did my homework and came prepared.

Q: What has been the impact of your working with Lenora?
A: I believe I would have been successful regardless. But I know that our success has happened faster and it's been easier and more enjoyable.

She's also provided access to a wealth of resources, through her Roundtable and Study Group, for example. It's like a virtual Board of Directors with whom I can consult.

Q: How would you describe Lenora's professional skill set?
A: I have total trust and confidence in Lenora. I don't expect her to know the answer to every question, but the resources that she brings to me through all the people she has access to are great. And I think her countless experiences with other business owners has given her tremendous insight. And, unlike a lot of the material you get from a textbook, her techniques are tried and true.

Q: What's it like working directly with Lenora?
A: I feel she genuinely cares about me and my practice. I know she doesn't take on everyone; she's selective, as she should be. I like to work with people who are good quality human beings--people with integrity. I like to uphold these values in my business and personal life, and I believe Lenora does too.

Q: Anything you'd like to add?
A: Perhaps a bit of advice to anyone considering hiring Lenora: Every business is cost-conscious, but it's vital not to be so cost-conscious that you miss great opportunities. The investment I made with Lenora has been the single most profitable investment in my practice. But more important, it's returned tremendous value to us in terms of quality of life.
