Ep. 195: From Superstar Employee to CEO with Kelly Roach

 

One of the coolest things about having a podcast is having the chance to connect and have conversations with other entrepreneurs that are where I want to be – which is why I’m so excited to bring you this interview with business growth strategist, Kelly Roach.

Kelly’s team reached out to me to introduce us and see if she’d be a good fit for the show, and so like I do with every guest, I spent some time researching Kelly and making sure our values align and all that good stuff – because you guys, I’m not gonna just let anyone into your earbuds okay?

So I start researching Kelly and I’m going to be totally honest with you right now… I got a little bit intimidated!!!

I mean, this girl built her business from scratch as a side hustle to the point where her husband was able to retire, she was able to quit her day job, pay off her dream home in 3 years and become millionaires living debt free – all while working no more than 40 hours a week.

Kelly’s current life is my #dreamlife

So I flipped the script on my imposter syndrome, kicked the feeling of “Why would Kelly Roach want to be on my podcast?” to the curb and told myself, “um, Shannon, it’s because you get thousands of downloads a month and who WOULDN’T want the chance to talk to you guys because you’re ah-mazing”

And decided to use the opportunity to get some insight into exactly how she did it.

Oh, and you’re not going to be disappointed.

Kelly breaks down exactly how she did it.

And the good news for all of us is that it’s totally possible for us to do it too.

In Part 1, we talk about:

  • The three places Kelly thinks you should be spending your time EXCLUSIVELY when you are first starting out.
  • Kelly’s #1 Rule for New Entrepreneurs
  • Why your website doesn’t work if you don’t!!
  • How to fully maximize your team to their full income-generating potential.
  • The two things you HAVE to invest in if you want to seriously grow your side hustle.

I highly recommend Kelly’s book, Bigger Than You so that you can claim ultimate freedom, wealth, fulfillment in your business.

“When you can see the greatness in another person and they see that you see that in them, it creates a great partnership.” – Kelly Roach

Don’t miss Part 2 where we talk about:

  • How Kelly transitioned from side hustle to full time.
  • How to SLOW DOWN so that you can move forward.
  • Why YOU should be the one focusing on connecting engaging and converting
  • Why podcasts are for serious business owners who are in it for the long haul.
  • The 5 core functions of business (and where entrepreneurs fall short) and how to get people and systems around those 5 functions.
  • How to have a Sales Team as a solopreneur selling information products.
  • What a Social Selling team member can do for you.
  • The belief Kelly had to change about herself to get where she is today.
