Alright – so today we’ve got the honor of introducing you to Kimberly Gonzales. We think you’ll enjoy our conversation, we’ve shared it below.

Alright, Kimberly thanks for taking the time to share your stories and insights with us today. What do you think matters most in terms of achieving success?

Being successful can come in many different ways. For my success is from the wonderful people that have come in my circle helping me along the way, sharing my vision. It has been networking and relationships. Building a strong network of supportive individuals that I have met in my life that has provided me valuable opportunities, guidance, and collaboration. Successful people understand the importance of nurturing relationships and surrounding themselves with positive influences. I have made that so important in my life.

Going into a new place with new people I am not going to lie is scary! I get those butterflies in my stomach. You have to remind yourself you are there to build new friendships and build relationships with these other amazing people. Not just a quick sell.

Passion and drive has been a big one for me! A genuine passion for what I do can be a powerful driving force. Successful individuals often have a deep sense of purpose and are motivated to make a difference in their field of interest. Which for me is living a more simple, natural lifestyle.

Having clear goals! Setting clear, specific, and realistic goals provides a sense of direction and purpose. Successful individuals that have a clear vision of what they want to achieve and work hard towards their goals. I am a huge goal person. Set goals that are going to be done. So many times we set unrealistic goals and it sets us up for failure.

Success often requires dedication, determination, and a willingness to put in consistent effort. Success come with failing and getting back up figuring out how you can do it better. Achieving significant goals typically involves overcoming obstacles and setbacks, and those who persevere despite challenges increase their chances of success. It comes with hours and hours of work.

Great, appreciate you sharing that with us. Before we ask you to share more of your insights, can you take a moment to introduce yourself and how you got to where you are today to our readers.

PÜR Evergreen® got started in January of 2020. I owned an eco friendly cleaning company in northern Colorado. After trying numerous products and trying to train my employees on what each product does she saw that time was adding up for training and the products were not used correctly, I knew that I needed to start making my own line of natural products. After two years of experimenting I finally mastered my all in one natural cleaning product line called PÜR Evergreen.

I also saw that people were using harmful chemicals or products that were greenwashed. I wanted to have PÜR Evergreen be the product in every home. My goal was to simplify our lives naturally. Most homes have 10 or more products under their sinks. My goal was for them to have one cleaner. Safe for kids to use! From there I added more and more products to help with the waste and help reduce the chemicals.

My love for helping and giving back is so important. When customers or businesses that buy wholesale from me, they know I am giving back to non-profits.

I am most proud of how far I have come without investors. Everything I have done has been word of mouth. That says a lot to me how much people love my products and are willing to share it. It also fills my cup and makes me feel loved.

Amy my friend comes to help me 2 days a week with orders we love taking time out writing and drawing notes on order slips. Is it time consuming, yes very much so, but we love that people that are having a bad day or need extra love in that day can open their box and see a special note from us.

We take time out to really help others and I think that is so important and what is missing in the world today.

I have always had a love for being all natural since I was young. I was born and raised in Arizona.In 2014, I moved to Colorado and have made it my home in northern Colorado with her husband and three kids. The whole family loves the beautiful surroundings of Northern Colorado. I enjoys being in the outdoors and exploring the hot springs and the beautiful land to camp and hike on.

As a mother of three, I know how important it is to have a safe, healthy home and workplace that is free of harmful chemicals.

Do you sell on your site, or do you use a platform like Amazon, Etsy, Cratejoy, etc?

PÜR Evergreen is sold on my website and Amazon. I use my website for all my products right now. I love that I can see new people come in and buy my products. It gives me a chance to connect with them and help them in any way I can. I truly love all my customers. With Amazon I only have my natural laundry detergent sheets on there right now. With Amazon you don’t get that opportunity to connect to the people investing in your products. That is hard for me.

What’s been the most effective strategy for growing your clientele?

The best strategy for growing my business has honestly been word of mouth. It has been about building friendships and relationships with businesses working together to help each other out. I am beyond surrounded by wonderful people in my life that see my goals and see my vision. Joining networking groups and the chamber have been huge for me.
