Carol Boston and Samantha King join Kim on the show to discuss the power of your network, who should be in it, and how your network keeps you strong when times are tough. They also share tips and suggestions on how to build your network. One of the key elements of becoming an Authority is the people you surround yourself with. In 2020 four women, Kim Thompson-Pinder, Samantha King, Carol Boston, and Krystle Dookoo all met at an online networking meeting and found that not only did they all really like each other but had valuable skills, talents, and abilities that could help each other grow their businesses faster. In October they decided to become the Authority Gang and over the next year, they have dedicated themselves to become a force to be reckoned with as they teach, train, and support entrepreneurs in the seven key business building blocks: Authority Marketing, Sales, Communication, Networking, Social Media, Promotion, and Leadership. You will be seeing the four of them all over social media and once a month featured here on the podcast.
