We are very blessed today to be able to pick the brain of Ms. Keenya Kelly, an accomplished business executive, teacher, speaker who's been helping people build successful businesses and powerful personal brand.

Keenya's family was poor. She remembers the many occasions where they lost their light and water because her family couldn’t afford it. Until she got into college and was recruited into a network marketing company. That’s when she discovered her innate ability to sell anything to anyone. She quickly worked her way up in this business arena. She was selling like crazy! Until one time, when she’d develop a really close relationship with God when she said she received like a divine message of her quitting her business. There’s a major reason why she felt why she was called out of network marketing: manipulative selling. She was selling heavily because she was being manipulative! She placed a heavier value on her relationship with God than with her career at that time, that’s why she was willing to call it quits. She ended her business and her team and went ahead to look for a corporate job.
 
She did work for somebody else for three years. Then her restlessness kicked in, she felt she’s ready to take on another shot on entrepreneurship. With a new approach to selling, she builds her new business. Today, she’s a successful mentor, helping other businesses build their brand and scale up by being authentic and honest. That’s what she’s touching on in this podcast. She shared the correct way of selling, how to use social media especially TikTok, how to be seen everywhere, and why it is so important today than ever to be willing to be mentored. Be prepared to ignite to take action after you listen to this podcast! I am so excited for you to benefit from this!

And say, let me reteach you how to sell, and you may go back into network marketing, but when you go back into whatever you do, you're not going to do it from a manipulation standpoint, you're going to do it as an honest, authentic, you're going to make even more money, but you have to relearn how to sell because I spent my whole life and early life in network marketing, learning the wrong way to sell.
 
[10:56] Work with a coach who's manipulative and honest. I feel like every entrepreneur needs a coach because you only know what you know, and you can skip a whole lot of steps if you work with somebody.
 
[12:41] Second, be honest. Thirdly, I would say you got to get deep down and ask yourself if you are trying to make somebody do something that they may not want to do.
 
[19:26] On TikTok: I start doing little things and the comments section it kept saying your joy is contagious. The more I kept hearing it, the more I kept, like starting to believe it. my email list started exploding. My books started selling like crazy on my website and on Amazon and everything was just blowing up.
 
[21:55] One of the biggest ways to go viral on Tik TOK is doing something within like five to seven seconds that makes somebody go, wait, what? It makes them watch it over and over and over again. Or it's something where it is super funny or it just makes you go. That's amazing. I got to give it to this person.
