Best Small Business Advice – Interview with Kelly O’Neil

This is the final interview of the Best Business Advice Ever interview series featuring successful entrepreneurs. I’ve asked each of them what’s worked, which mistakes they learned from the most, and the one piece of advice they have to share with you.

Award winning Speaker, Author and Marketing to the Affluent Expert, Kelly O’Neil, is passionate about helping entrepreneurs think big and play bigger to build thriving six and seven figure businesses. Kelly O’Neil is no stranger to the good life. Having been raised in an affluent family in the Silicon Valley where private planes and luxury vacation homes were a way of life, she set out after college to create her own wealth…and succeeded.

In 2000, she left a thriving career in corporate public relations and founded UpLevel Strategies (now Kelly O’Neil International™) where she works exclusively with thousands of small businesses and entrepreneurs as both a coach and consultant to help them design businesses where they earn more and work less through her Marketing to Millionaires™ programs.

While Kelly grew up in an affluent family, she did not always have the privileges associated with money. Listen to the interview to learn:

• The lesson she learned renting her first apartment after graduating from college
• How an unexpected reaction when she decided to quit her six-figure salary job made her even more determined to succeed as an entrepreneur
• Why she succeeded financially but failed miserably in other areas of her first business
• The one thing she would have done much sooner if she could start over again
• What an important mentor told her (this advice is invaluable, and one of the hardest lessons to learn)
