King has built several businesses into multi-million dollar sales machines including a paint contracting company, a decorative painting company, a real estate company and one of the nation’s most renowned decorative painting schools, the Kelly S. King Academy, which he later sold to a Fortune 500 company. Kelly has experienced extreme success and along the way, suffered significant failures, which taught him that the key to success lies in understanding how to maneuver through adversities and find the seeds of opportunity. Kelly regularly speaks for Purdue University at the Napoleon Hill Foundation on the book “Think and Grow Rich” and “The Keys to Success” by Napoleon Hill and Kelly’s own lecture “Creativity Fueled by Adversity” which has influenced the way thousands of business men and women have remodeled their companies.
