Donald Kelly shares how he went from selling mangoes as a child on the streets of Jamaica to scaling his sales training organization today. Throughout his entrepreneurial journey he realized that he was exchanging time for dollars and needed to figure out what the next step was for his business.
In this episode Donald shares with us what steps he took that allowed him to grow his business beyond the limits of himself and hire on a total of 8 team members plus additional contractors to help his business scale without relying solely on him. We discuss the idea that by removing yourself from all areas of the business will lead to your clients not being happy and what really happens when you make that transition.
