Kelly shares with us her road from a little girl born to a mistress, abandoned and abused, to an entrepreneurial mentor who impacts lives globally. Kelly attributes her success to God showing her how to make the decision to move out of the darkness and follow Him step by step, moment by moment, and see His goodness all along the way.
“I was willing to do what other people are not willing to do.” – Kelly Baader
In the early days of her career at a five star hotel, Kelly was told by many people that, as a woman, she would not be successful in the corporate world. She even endured malicious rumors, but she came to learn that when others invent stories an effort to hurt us, it is not actually about us; it reveals the state of mind they are in themselves. Kelly discovered within herself the strength and the wisdom to know the difference between the times she needed to be still versus the times she needed to roar like a lion.
“It is about who we are and who we aspire to be, that is important.” – Kelly Baader
Kelly shares that in the entrepreneurial journey, the parenting journey, and even for young people out there, the pursuit of success does not look like a straight line. She says we will create a lot of squiggly lines in between, up and down, forward and backward. Whenever we think we are at the bottom or when we face a lot of challenges, we have a decision to make. We cannot be afraid to make mistakes. If our motive is to sincerely contribute to society, even if we make a mistake, God will use that right motive to make us prosper.
Leadership does not only mean a title or working in an organization. As a parent, you are a leader; if you have friends, you have the possibility to influence your friends. Leadership is influence. Every single one of us is influencing others consciously and unconsciously, and the power is way beyond what we can imagine. We should not be afraid to make a decision. We should not be afraid to utilize the talents and gifts that God has given us. We just have to do it!
