More about Kelsey:
Kelsey’s mission in life is to inspire people to take action so they live a life on purpose. Currently, she does that through business coaching and hosting her podcast, Get Shit Done.
Prior to coaching, she had her own hair salon and had found a way to create the income I desired, work with dream clients, and provide only the services she loved, all while maintaining a great work-life balance. She soon realized that a lot of her friends in business did not have the same experience. She eventually started consulting other salon owners in marketing, strategy, and finance. Eventually, she closed my salon to focus 100% on business coaching beyond the beauty industry.
Since starting my coaching business, she has surpassed her salon income and directly helped over 60 entrepreneurs with their businesses. Clients have 3x revenue, pivoted industries, opened new locations, hired their dream team, added in new offerings, launched new businesses, and so much more.
