WHAT DID KELLY SAY?

“I wanted a life of freedom. I wanted the flexibility to work my own way. I wanted to be able to have control over my circumstances. So, I decided to take the skills that I built and the things that I really loved to do and help people do them in my own business.”

“You always go through what you have to go through to learn the lesson that you need to learn to get to where you’re going.”

“The big thing is vision. We help people step into the bigger vision of what they want to create in their business and in their life. And the bottom line is that one person can only do so much.”

“All of your problems at eight-figures are people problems.”

“I’ve found that becoming one of the only eight figure female CEOs in the online coaching space, I’ve never had to compromise my integrity or do things that were out of alignment or have the latest, greatest, sexiest whatever. I think I was just so convicted. My conviction was so high, my passion is so high and certain that I think when people interacted with me they just went, ‘Yes.’”
