Interview with Kelly Lorenzen
Introduce yourself and tell us what you do.
My name is Kelly Lorenzen, PMP, and I am an award-winning entrepreneur and the CEO of KLM Consulting, Marketing & Management. I am also a podcast host, speaker, breast cancer survivor, author, wife, and mom. With more than two decades of experience building and scaling companies and coming from a long line of entrepreneurs, I am deeply committed to helping small and family-owned businesses succeed.
My team, often referred to as “business owner duplicates”, partners with clients as a fractional C-suite and project implementation arm, helping business owners simplify operations, hand off marketing, build systems, and scale sustainably. The goal is simple: allow owners to focus on what they love while confidently outsourcing the rest.
Tell us about your journey as an author and your writing process.
My journey as an author was rooted in consistency and showing up week after week. It began when my teammate, Sahar, created an initial draft using my talks, articles, and blog posts. She captured ideas I had been sharing for years and put them onto the page. That jump-start gave me the momentum I needed to begin editing and re-writing new versions over the course of 6 months or so.
From there, Sunday afternoons became sacred writing time. I started by revising the preface, then chapter one, and continued methodically through each chapter. Once the full manuscript was complete, I went back and refined it again, chapter by chapter, clarifying ideas and sharpening the practical guidance.
For years, people encouraged me to write a book based on my twenty-plus years as a business owner, and eventually I realized why. Through one-on-one work alone, we can only help so many businesses. A book allows me to share hard-won lessons at scale, giving new and growing business owners a better chance at success. I’m incredibly grateful to Sahar for assembling the first version and encouraging me to begin. Over the past year, I’ve spent nearly every weekend revising and refining the book so it’s clear, actionable, and genuinely useful.
Story you’d like to highlight
When I was diagnosed with breast cancer, I had to step away from the day-to-day operations of my business for several weeks. Because we had already built simple, effective systems and because I had learned how to delegate the right work to the right people, the business continued to serve clients and even grew by 25% that year.
That experience became the heartbeat of this book: building a business that can keep running, even when you can’t.
