About this Event

This is: 1/3 lecture. 1/3 sharing. 1/3 workshop.
100% useful.

​Does your business revolve around you?

That's not sustainable.

​Most successful companies get stuck at 5 or 6 figures because everything depends on the founder. Business coaches call this "the owner's trap."
I learned this long-term mindset years ago when my business partner snuck me into a 4-day business scaling seminar. (It was only for people making a million or more a year - she was, so I was her +1.)

​Then at a completely different event this year, industry leaders said the best thing you can do right now (if you have your own business) is to offer internships...

​The results have been fantastic. I've had thousands of applicants, 11 interns taken on and counting — with only about 5 hours a week spent across all of them. They get real-world experience, learn to value their own ideas, and add the exact job of their dreams to their resume.

​You'll learn how to find 10+ interns, set up a system, make it a win-win for everyone, follow the rules, and grow your business — all while spending only ~5 hours a week managing all of them.
Your host: Kelly Kirk, founder of Kelly Tutors, educator to 10,000+ students, and currently managing 11 interns on a shoestring budget.
