What separates 8- and 9-figure entrepreneurs from those stuck at 6 or 7 figures? It's not more talent, money, or opportunity; it's mastery of time.

In this episode, Kelly breaks down how your relationship with time impacts everything from cash flow to burnout, and how to structure your week for peak performance and freedom.

She shares her personal journey — from cocktail waitress to Fortune 500 executive to 8-figure entrepreneur — and the timeless lessons about energy, focus, and execution that made it possible.

This episode will teach you how to reclaim every single hour of your day, one time block at a time.
