162. Success through Authenticity and Intentional Action with Kelsey Marie Knutson

162. Success through Authenticity and Intentional Action with Kelsey Marie Knutson

Break the mold and do what's best for you. Listen in to a conversation with today's guest, who built and rebuilt the businesses that fit her best.


From Kelsey:

My mission in life is to inspire people to take action, so they live purposefully. Currently, I do that through business coaching and hosting my podcast, Get Shit Done.
Prior to coaching, I had my own hair salon. I had found a way to create the income I desired, work with dream clients, and provide only the services I loved, all while maintaining a great work-life balance. I soon realized that many of my business friends did not have the same experience.
I started consulting other salon owners in marketing, strategy, and finance. I loved watching the “a ha’s” unfold as we restructured their business. And in those interactions, I realized my purpose was beyond hair. Eventually, I closed my salon to focus 100% on business coaching beyond the beauty industry.
For the last 3 years, I’ve combined my personal experience and college education (B.S. in Entrepreneurship from Washington State University) to help people start and scale profitable businesses that they are passionate about.
Since starting my coaching business, I have surpassed my 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. I love what I get to do every day and I especially love seeing my clients win!
If you are struggling to achieve your business goals. If you are overwhelmed with wearing all of the hats. If you aren’t sure you have the right team members in the right seats, I would love to have a conversation with you to see if I can help.
