Order up… serving business owners like you
Your business isn’t what you hoped it would be?
Kimi Kinsey is the name; Getting you unstuck is the game
Business should be fun.
With this philosophy in mind, I help you take your ideas and put them into an actual business strategy that makes sense for you. One that…
- Doesn’t feel complicated – like you could actually set and achieve goals.
- Plays to your strengths and passions so this doesn’t feel like such an uphill, miserable battle.
- Allows you to make money your way – not feeling like you gotta do it the way everyone else says you should.
Why? Because you’re a human being… and you’re in business because you wanted to do something fun and different.

Confession Time:
My business used to be a mess
I was so stuck on this idea that business had to be done a certain way – that there was only one successful way to sell, or that to grow you had to follow some secret sauce recipe that other successful business owners were charging thousands of dollars for.
But guess what I learned?
There’s more than one sauce recipe, and it’s about finding the one you actually like.
I CAN HELP YOU FIND THE RIGHT RECIPE
Let's Make Some Quick Moves
You know deep in your heart that being an entrepreneur is for you. You love the idea of being your own boss, making the rules, setting you own limits, and not having to ask someone to cover for you at work so that you can go pee.

Cool things you might not know about me
I had a Star Wars wedding.
My husband Jeremy and I started dating on May 4, 2014 – known to those of supreme geekiness as Star Wars Day.
Four years later, we kept up with shtick by having a Star Wars wedding – officiated by Emperor Palpatine himself. We did it all – robes, inspired decor… I even personally designed our wedding invitations.
Ironically, we’re only sort of Star Wars fans. It’s not something we consider our “thing”. We just liked the idea and thought it would be a fun memory.

I’m self taught in Graphic Design
I 2004 I was just playing around in MSPaint, creating dresses and accessories for pictures of people’s 16 bit game characters. I had no idea that it was the start of love affair with graphic design.
Since then, I’ve made my way through selling designs on t-shirts, creating 2D and even 3D content in virtual worlds like IMVU and Second Life, and finally to freelance graphic design.
I’ve worked with hundreds of clients, but nothing gives me the same satisfaction as creating for myself.
I’m totally that dog Mom.
I considered myself pretty solidly a “cat person” for the longest time. And then came Bane… our 60 pound chihuahua mix (I’m totally serious).
I fell so head over heels for this boy. He’s really been there for me during some tough times in the last couple of years.
We decided to add to our family and brought Alfred, our Australian Shepherd, into the fold. He’s the happiest dog I’ve ever seen in my entire life. He just doesn’t stop smiling. It’s infectious.

I’m a Recovering Perfectionist
It’s taken me years in business to understand what “done is better than perfect” means. It’s not just some cutesy thing you see printed on affordable office decor at Target.
It’s become part of my job to walk the walk when I talk the talk – getting the work done and producing content of value, even if it’s not 100% “perfect”.
Because what is “perfect” anyways? I know in about 6 months, my definition of perfection will change anyways, and I’ll feel compelled to improve on what’s there.
I love hexagons… a lot.
It started with a wall in my home office – the one and only time I thought my husband was surely going to divorce me after spending countless hours taping off the wall so that I could paint pink hexagons on it.
Hexagons are what everyone knows me for. And, when I say “knows me for” I mean there’s at least a couple dozen instances where my students have posted pictures of pink hexagons in the wild because it made them think of me.
I’m here for that kind of brand recognizability.

what people are saying
What really strikes me the most about Kimi Kinsey is her generous spirit and willingness to give and teach what she knows so others may succeed. She always shares her knowledge so freely and adds so much value to the space. When I ask a question in her group, I know I am going to get an answer from her and I have seen many times where she goes a step ahead and creates a video tutorial or a free resource to answer the question. That level of commitment to ensuring her tribe succeeds is truly inspiring and something that I will hold as so key to what makes her a great leader.
I have completed many other courses and felt more overwhelmed and confused than I started with. Then finally, I found Kimi Kinsey and began making some progress. I look forward to reading her motivating, energetic, humorous emails and teaching material. Truly feel Kimi always goes above and beyond for me to become a better businesswoman.
Kimi always brings a lot of value to her courses that make them easily worth double what you pay for. You'll always get expert knowledge broken down into steps you can understand and implement immediately. I have several of her resources, including her book on making money as an Amazon affiliate, and it's thanks to it that I made my first sale.
When I stumbled upon Kimi in a Facebook group, I immediately felt a connection to her. Her thought process is a lot like mine, and she seemed to understand exactly the struggles I was talking about in early conversations. I joined her group coaching immediately and I have been so happy to have made that decision. The way she explains material is exactly what I have needed. She demonstrates and explains everything in detail, with exactly the right amount of background on each topic and adds personal experience as much as possible. Her drive and energy is contagious, too. She makes me want to be a better entrepreneur and to keep pursuing my dreams and goals.
Kimi is one of the most refreshingly honest and trustworthy people on the internet. I was struggling with starting my business, and everything there is to learn, when one of her Facebook groups came up as a suggestion for me. And I'm so glad it did. Always generous with sharing her experience and time to give feedback, she is one of my favourite people to follow online.
Kimi is always down to earth, and she keeps it real. We all need someone who won’t waste our time with fluff. She's knowledgeable, relatable, and fun to talk with. Her professional and friendly style of teaching makes learning enjoyable. She's like a breath of fresh air! Learning the nuances of typography in detail made everything "click" for me. The course answered design questions I didn't know I had. She provides clear and concise examples so the content really sticks.
