The Kelly Roach Show: Entrepreneurial Strategy for Faster Business Growth, Effective Leadership, & High Performance Mindset
Innovation doesn't happen when things are working. It happens when they stop working. In this week's episode of The Kelly Roach Show, Kelly gets transparent about the hardest decision she has ever made in business: the moment she walked into her entire team, gave them 48 hours to decide if they were in or out, and flipped her entire model from high ticket to low ticket almost a full year before the rest of the market realized they needed to do the same. Kelly walks through exactly what it cost her: the team members who resigned, the ones who were let go, the drop from $100K a month in ad...

In this episode, Kelly sits down with Katie Pitts, founder of Sleepwise Consulting, to talk about the one performance lever most entrepreneurs completely ignore: sleep. Katie's story starts at rock bottom: a sleepless new mom who found herself researching adoption agencies in the middle of the night because she was convinced she wasn't cut out for motherhood. Within two nights of implementing her own system, everything changed. Eleven years later, she leads a team of 64...

In this episode of The Kelly Roach Show, Kelly shares the behind-the-scenes story of a major breaking point she experienced with live events, and how that breakdown ultimately led to one of the biggest operational breakthroughs in her business.

While most entrepreneurs chase the next shiny object, they are glazing right past one of the most powerful growth strategies: referral marketing. In this episode, Kelly continues the Analog in an AI Era series with part two of the conversation on building a million dollar referral pipeline.

In fact, for many mid to high ticket offers, just a handful of high quality referrals can completely transform your revenue. In this episode, Kelly walks you through the exact steps to activate a powerful...
