If you keep changing what you're talking about all the time and you're doing how-to marketing on things that have nothing to do with the core anchors of your brand, of course that's going to create a confused mind and a confused mind always says no.
Yeah, absolutely. Well, I mean, the number one thing that I learned in my life is that if there's something that you don't like, change it. And that hard work makes absolutely any dream achievable. And growing up, I had lovely parents. My parents are wonderful people, but my dad worked for a nonprofit. My mom was a stay-at-home mom because there was five kids.
It would have been more expensive to put us in daycare than it would have been, obviously, to have her home with us. And my dad really had a false belief system that in order to make a difference serving for this nonprofit, you know, that we basically had to struggle. He couldn't give back and make great money too. And I believe that that was a false belief system.
And I decided to set out on a course in my life to both do good and create wealth. And that's what I've done for myself is what I teach other entrepreneurs to do.
But not having a fallback position, not having wealth in my family, getting a lot of no's growing up actually was the greatest service I ever could have had because it really taught me the importance of not giving up and being willing to work towards goals over a period of years. I think one of the biggest misconceptions that really holds people back from accomplishing their dreams
is this perception that success happens quickly or happens overnight, right? And I always say, every overnight success is 15 years in the making. It doesn't matter whether you've been working towards that particular success for 15 years. There were so many things that you were working to become as a person that led you to that success.
And that's why we have to make sure that we don't get caught up in people's highlight reels. We need to like run our own race, you know, own the lane that we're in kind of thing, you know?
Yeah. And I mean, that's just not a nice saying that you and I are tossing back and forth because we run successful companies. I've actually researched it. I actually own my own philanthropic foundation that I use to give back that I'm able to now You know, when I was growing up, we were on the receiving end of charity all the time.
We didn't have any money, so we couldn't do anything to help anyone else. Now I get to be on the other side of it because I've created wealth for myself. And if you research, it's the wealthiest people in the world that do the most good. Why? Why is that? Because they're the people that have disposable income that they can use to give back and do things for others.
If you're using every dollar that you make just to get by, then obviously it makes it pretty much impossible to do for others. we have to really shift this paradigm around money. And we have to really break this silo mentality of like, you can do good or you can give back or you can have a lot of money. You can focus on being a good person or you can focus on being wealthy.
Kelly Roach Coaching.
Yeah, for sure. Yeah. I mean, graduating from college, I had no idea what I wanted to do. I was like, I don't want to sit in spreadsheets. I love people. And I wanted to get into a big company because I wanted to create financial freedom for myself. And I knew... I had the work ethic and the hustle. I knew I could learn. So I was like, I'm just going to join this company.
I started in that entry-level position. And I was literally the first one in and the last one out every single day. I showed up for work, even in my most entry-level job with no money, in a suit, hair and makeup, ready to take on the world every single day. And over a period of years, I was promoted seven times in eight years. And I ended up building a team of 100 people.
So I started off with one branch with zero staff, zero database, complete turnaround, hired one person, and then ultimately built a team of 100 across 17 locations. And we broke every record for growth in the company's history. And I... I've never claimed and will never claim to be the most talented. I'm certainly not the smartest. I was like a B student and I tried really hard.
I know a lot of cool entrepreneurs are like, I never showed up for class and I was a horrible student and blah, blah, blah. I actually tried. I just wasn't very smart. Yeah. I was in math tutoring and like getting up at five in the morning to study. I just, some people have book smarts. Some people have street smarts.
I was always more of a common sense type person, but that has actually served me really well. So I rose through the corporate ranks, you know, did that whole thing. My, my big dream was like, I want to be this corporate executive. I want to be in the boardroom and on the planes and you know, running all the things. And, you know, it was an awesome dream. It was a great ride.
Um, I went through a lot. I had a lot of people that were like, who is this young kid that thinks she's going to come in here? So that was, that was very interesting. It was not an easy rise. Um, I went through a lot, including people that I personally like mentored and promoted and really cared for, like turning on me and stabbing me in the back. And that's all par for the course, right?
We all go through that stuff. But, um, You know, I got to the top and I had met Billy, who is now my husband. We've been together for 16 years now. And, you know, we really started thinking about like, what do we want our life to look like? You know, what do we want our priorities to be as a family? And, you know, I got really clear, you know, I wanted to have financial freedom.
I wanted flexibility. I wanted to be able to travel and, you know, I wanted to be able to put my family first. And I was like, That's not happening, you know, working in a job, right, for someone else. So I decided to really look at what skills did I possess? What was I good at? You know, how did I feel like I could make a difference?
And the number one thing that I had learned during my time in corporate was business growth strategy. Like I really understood better than anyone I had ever seen how to look at a scenario and identify the fastest, most efficient way to to take a losing situation and make it a winning one. And I was really passionate about helping people reach their potential. It was really just those two things.
