Serial Entrepreneur Zim Flores Values Her Time Freedom
Adventurer and author Zim Flores went from living on a shoestring budget to building multiple successful niche businesses. In her conversation with Ashley, Zim confesses that even as children, she and her brother were like “little grown adult kids.” She kept cultivating an independent spirit as she explored many career paths. From the university biology lab where she cloned a gene, to her experience living full-time in India, Zim discovered a talent for diving into adventure which evolved through travel and entrepreneurship. The savvy business mind launched a boutique travel agency, Travel Noire, cultivated from her observation that “people who look like me are often the ones that are traveled to, but we’re not the travelers.” She has since stepped away from Travel Noire to expand her business ventures elsewhere, and learned that becoming financially free meant “being able to own your time.” Now Zim shares her experiences to advise others on creating generational wealth for themselves and their families.
