Kim Wood | Makeover2Takeover Contestant Cries on Stage

Caulk Wood | Bonding for Success

The gang

I thought it would be good to hear from me. Especially after a friend of mine Tweeted yesterday,

"@KimWood near tears on stage"

What an awesome Makeover2Takeover Contest!

Rewarding, Stressful

My business gets made over

Thank you, ActiveRain

I didn't cry because Missy & I got 2nd place in the contest. I've said it many times, it was a great honor to be a part of such an awesome group. To make TopThree was amazing! However, Desiree Daniels & Brian Block deserve to be crowned victors of the Missy, Kim & Rich Makeover Contest.

I wasn't left out.....

My Business Won !!!!

I have a feeling most of the conestants would say the same thing.

So why the tears near tears? Rich asked each of us separate questions which we had no clue beforehand we were even speaking on stage...... What have you gained out of the contest? (Watch the video cause the details are a little foggy. I'm sure they'll be posted in no time - I saw at least 50 videos being taken with about 1,000 still cameras from my view)

Do you know how long it would take to really answer that question? I tried to make my answer brief..... My business got a much needed makeover. I learned so much from all of the apprentices & mentors. I gained a very special friend, Missy Caulk. Missy was amazing sharing her business with me. Insert tears of sincerity here. For that I'll be forever grateful.

Thank you, Missy. I love you!

I love Missy Caulk

You should be SO proud of yourselves.

Congratulations to all of you who worked so hard at the contest!

I hope the experience takes your career to the next level...actually, I am sure it will. Congrats again, sweets!

Kim, I hadn't heard yet about the winners until this morning. You and Missy were an awesome team. I know how hard you both worked...it was a long process that most will not appreciate but you all are winners in my mind! Great job...now you can relax a little and enjoy SF!

Rock on sister! I bet I would have been bawling if I had been there! When posed that question or to even think about it...it gave me new life....motivation...and my passion restored! I also got one heck of a good friend...and a reminder...the daytona real estate trainer still has it! :) You two teams were tough as with all the other contestants..I did not think we would make it through the last challenge as a matter of fact..I had migraines for 2 days...and I rarely get them..Jeannette was mentoring me to get through the last challenge. Thank goodness its over and we all better...with tools...with drive and passion! Luv ya! :)

I cried too!...Kim, it was so much fun getting to meet you and Missy. Thanks for making Makeover such a wonderful experience!!!

Kim - You worked hard on the contest, and I'm sure that it will pay dividends for your business going forward. I pretty much cry at the drop of a hat, so I'm sure it would have been no different if I were in your shoes, especially with the relief that came with having the contest over.

Oops! I forgot to say "Congrats" for placing second in the contest. So, congratulations!

Kim, congrats on second place. Everyone benefited even if they just followed the contest.

What an awesome piece of work! You did a fantastic job and should be proud. It was pretty remarkable what all of you were able to do and still run your business. Now you will just do it better. congrats Kim & Missy and everyone.

Congratulations, you are awesome. I didn't make it as far as you, but my business improved, as well. The contest was a great experience!

Great job, Kim!

Always is a joy to read about someone's life and business being changed for the best!

Yes, Lisa Kim (inside joke) congratulations on Makeover2Takeover. It was was fun to meet you and everybody else down there.

Kim - congrats on your win. From following your blog, I know you put in a lot of effort.

Kim, congratulations to you & Missy for all your efforts and the 2nd place finish in the Makeover to Takeover competition. It was a great pleasure and fun to meet both of you and hang out these last few days. Boy, I'm exhausted, as I'm sure you are too. Have a safe flight home. I'm gonna chill and hang out for a few days with my sister and my sister-in-law before returning from San Francisco on Tuesday.

Awww Kim!! That is so sweet. Congratulations. I agree with you the competition was FANTASTIC and I am so glad that I had a chance to participate. The lessons learned were priceless! I would do it all again in a heartbeat!!

Kim, it was a pleasure to meet you. And, I could not agree more, it will be you and your business that wins. Take Care. AJ

Kim, you and Missy did a great job on stage! (and in the contest) I am so glad to have met you in San Fran. The very best part of Inman Connect was meeting people just like you and Missy! Congrats on the 2nd place finish and on a job well done!

Kim - Congratulation to you and the rest of the contestants, it was a great learning experience and you also made some great friends in the process.

Kim~ I saw all of you on stage in Jeff Dowler's featured post. It doesn't matter what number you came in at, you are all winners.

Kim - Congrats to you and the rest of the winners. I think every one won just by partaking. I felt a step ahead with every post I read, and that was just reading!

Yuo go girl. It was GREAT meeting you, and it just made you that much sweeter to get emotional on stage.
