We caught up with the brilliant and insightful Mimi Benjamin a few weeks ago and have shared our conversation below.
Mimi, thanks for joining us, excited to have you contributing your stories and insights. Do you take vacations? Why or why not?
I LOVE VACATIONS! I try to take them at least 3 times a year. They’re definitely therapeutic for me. Vacations keep me humble and grounded. You come back as a different person everytime. Experiencing different cultures and countries is exhilarating. Everyone needs vacations or staycations to relax and recharge. Doing nothing sometimes helps the mind, body and soul.
As always, we appreciate you sharing your insights and we’ve got a few more questions for you, but before we get to all of that can you take a minute to introduce yourself and give our readers some of your background and context?
I’m a very fun, honest and outgoing individual. I also value my time as businesswoman. I’ve acquired customer service skills for 12 years in Retail Management. When I left Retail, I gained personal clientele for 8 years as an Esthetician. I try to learn a different trade every 5 years. I believe if you learn more, you earn more. What sets me apart is my compassion for others. I treat ALL my clients like family. They are not just a business transaction. People are the best referrals when you take care of them and their needs properly.
Can you tell us the story behind how’d you met your business partner?
I have two awesome mentors (husband and wife) who were clients of mine for over 6 years. Whenever they booked me for a service, they would encourage me to take a leap in Real Estate. They have over 20 years of experience. Their knowledge and mentorship is the Best.
Are there any books, videos, essays or other resources that have significantly impacted your management and entrepreneurial thinking and philosophy?
My two favorite books I reference from are “The Secret”and “The 48 Laws of Power.” I apply these books to every aspect of my career and personal life. I also listen to Gary V and Grant Cardone; who are both very great business strategists. They are very motivating and true realists. My philosophy is stay true to yourself. Don’t let other people’s thoughts shape you. Be authentically You.
