Podcast Summary:
Kellianne shares her story about what it was like to leave the world of litigation and start an e-commerce business from the ground up selling products on Amazon.
She brings us awesome e-commerce specific expertise and understands the power of helping owners de-risk their lives so they can have a peace of mind that often doesn’t come with owning a business.
Years into the business, Kellianne decided her ultimate business goal was to sell the company, so she intentionally spent the next year learning everything she could about how to successfully exit a business.
She advocates for a powerful mindset shift for business owners: you shouldn’t wake up one day and decide to sell your business; instead, you should wake up one day and decide to build a valuable business that you can sell whenever you want.
After her seven-figure exit, Kellianne is using her Amazon and exit expertise (and partnering up with our company Arkona) to help other Amazon sellers and business owners grow their companies with an end in mind. 
Check out our Intentional Growth Virtual Cohort - We’re going to be kicking off on September 15th. There are four calls over four weeks. For $1450 you’ll get the course (and will always have access to the course after your purchase), but you’ll also be able to join 6 - 10 entrepreneurs. Together you’ll have roughly 2 - 3 hours worth of work in between phone calls. Each call involves case studies, materials, conversations, Q&A, and is an absolute blast. I really enjoyed the last cohort.
