Kelli Claypool is the owner of Business and Learning. Additionally, she is an unconventional business coach, marketing diva, author…but most importantly, she is a mom and wife. Kelli has been an entrepreneur for the better part of 20 years. As an entrepreneur, Kelli surrounds herself with friends and colleagues who want to succeed in life, financially, spiritually, and physically. She encourages those around her to take their lives & businesses to the next level in achieving their goals. “There is nothing standing in your way to prosperity and abundance, but you!” says Kelli.
As a coach, she helps to position her clients in reaching new heights of success and financial independence. The “typical” business structure is constantly changing whereby doing business today is not like doing business 3, 5, 10, or 15 years ago. If you are not up-to-speed on technology, Internet marketing, networking, and such, your business will have a hard time surviving. Kelli is always eager to assist her clients, step-by-step, on how to take their business globally in order to achieve their dreams of victory and accomplishment.
As a mom and wife, Kelli enjoys every moment she shares with her family and brags about them often. Kelli says, “truly, I am blessed by a husband who supports me and stands behind all of my good and sometimes weird decisions. My kids are the greatest in the world. They are smart, caring, independent, and supportive kids. We enjoy life and live it to the fullest.” In her “free” time, you can find Kelli surfing the Internet or hiking in the woods with her son and husband on their 30-acre farm in the beautiful Kentucky Mountains. Kelli has three children and a grand-dog.
