KC Rossi has been an entrepreneur since she was 10 years old and has been on a continuous improvement quest ever since. KC jokes that business is in my DNA because it is as natural as breathing for me. KC was the trusted town nanny from age 10 - 18 and immediately fell in love with developing long-term connections and improving people's lives. From there, she met a dynamic business partner and they developed 10 different business ventures. Their most successful creation was a confection manufacturing business. They owned and operated that for 17 years. It was thrilling to be able to build a dynamic team that was like family, develop an internationally known brand that consistently grossed 7+ figures, and travel the world to boot. After that, KC freelanced, cutting her teeth on digital marketing, learning the tech by doing for my business as well as for other clients. Now, KC likes to empower female entrepreneurs and thought-leaders to step up, embrace their signature strengths, and be the lightworker they are destined to be (while being wildly profitable). KC helps bust through self-imposed glass ceilings and make scaling a business a joy-filled journey. To learn more about KC Rossi check out her website at: https://www.kcrossi.com/
