From Dreamer To Doer…Get to know King Borris
TELL ME ABOUT YOURSELF
My name is Boris. I go by King Borris. I’m a 20-year-old in my 40s. I am a family man. A married man. A humble man. I own “kb media” a media Agency that’s a 360-degree online agency. I learned how to build my personal brand through different strategies in a way that allows me to do it for others.
I have crossed many roads to get here. Up and downs like the feast of us. That’s what brings me here today. As I jumped over and under the hurdles of life, I kept running. Battered and bruised through the journey. This lead to me creating my own podcast called “the kB experiment”. I want to hear other people’s journeys talk about the trials and tribulations. Most of all, how they got there. It’s important for others to hear and know that we are all human. We all bleed red. We all go through tough times.
HOW DID YOU BECOME AN ENTREPRENEUR?
Ever since I was little, I always had the character to sell something to someone. Separate from a regular job. I didn’t grow up with much money, so I did what I had to do to earn extra income to buy my toys and things that I wanted back in the 90s. I sold bicycles, fixed bicycles. I would find things in the trash and rebuild them and resell them. It was just something that came easily to me. Once eBay came out, it was a great platform where I learned to work with many more items that can be sold. One man’s trash is another man’s treasure. At one point I try to give up and just work a regular job. But I couldn’t do it, the entrepreneur's life just followed me around. So I embraced it and continued on a path of making my own decisions and using my surroundings to help with my income. There is a certain type of freedom when you can control your own value, money, and freedom.
WHAT WERE SOME OF THE CHALLENGES YOU FACED?
I faced many challenges all throughout my life. All the way up to today. Learning lessons the hard way when it comes to business relationships inconsistency. Not knowing how financing works, how to control the money flow. Never educating myself and figuring out how to properly run a business and create profits. So my biggest challenge was the lack of knowledge when it comes to the business and the financial knowledge someone needs to succeed.
WHAT ARE YOUR CURRENT VENTURES?
My current ventures include “the KB experiment” podcast
KB media — a 360-degree online media agency
I’ve also started the process of KB consulting, KB University, KB merch. So as I involve selling products teaching others and helping others is all part of the venture moving forward.
ANY ADVICE TO UP-AND-COMING ENTREPRENEURS?
Write down your goals. Create a roadmap of what it is you wanna do and how it is that you will get there. You have to be as clear as possible so you know where you’re going in your journey. Take all the advice that you can, while learning from other peoples mistakes. In today’s world, there’s no excuse for ignorance due to the abundance of technology and resources in our pockets. So use it wisely, and be consistent.
