Motivational, strategic with actionable steps

So grateful that Kelly made this book. This book challenges you as an entrepreneur to rise up and develop others and then unpacks ways to help you do that. This isn’t some woo woo book with no substance, this is both motivational and also practical to help you level up your leadership.

A MUST for entrepreneurs wanting to scale to the next level!

This book is valuable for all levels of business. I am still in the beginning of my career and I was able to pull so much value from this. If you’re not at the level where you’re going to be growing a team, I still 10/10 recommend this!

for those ready to step into their leadership and build your dream team!

This is a must-read for any entrepreneur ready to take their business to the next level. Kelly’s insights provide a clear roadmap for shifting from the overwhelming hustle of solo entrepreneurship to building a powerhouse team that drives growth and freedom.

What I appreciated most is Kelly tackles the mindset challenges that often hold entrepreneurs back—like the fear of delegating or the struggle to trust others with their vision. The practical advice on hiring strategically, avoiding common pitfalls, and creating a team culture that supports both profitability and scalability is invaluable.

Her wisdom around identifying red flags in the hiring process and breaking the exhausting hire-fire-burnout cycle were particularly eye-opening. And the way the book addresses the delicate balance between profit margins and team-building makes it stand out from other business guides.

If you’re stuck feeling like the bottleneck in your company or questioning why you’re still broke despite having a team, this book will give you the clarity, tools, and strategies you need to shift into true leadership. It’s more than a business book—it’s a manual for creating a sustainable, scalable, and fulfilling entrepreneurial journey. Highly recommend!

Practical Business & Leadership Lessons

I am so glad this is on audio! Ever since I read the paperback version, I’ve wanted to keep this on replay in my ears. In Bigger Than You, Kelly establishes leadership basics that often become forgotten in the demands and requirements of the day to day. She addresses many leadership and hiring mistakes, many that I have personally experienced, and provides step by step solutions that you can implement while reading. I definitely recommend this book!

Practical leadership advice for fast growing entrepreneurs

Kelly is a master at breaking down what is required for leaders to successfully manage and lead winning teams that drive business growth. Team can be a massive hurdle for entrepreneurs who are used to doing it all themselves as it’s one of those “slow down to speed up” moments in the business, but this book makes the process feel not only manageable but exciting.

A Must-Read for Business Owners Seeking Simplicity, Growth, and Freedom!

Bigger Than You by Kelly Roach is a game-changer for any business owner who feels overwhelmed or stuck in the day-to-day grind. Kelly’s approach is honest and practical, offering clear and actionable strategies to simplify business operations, hire and lead a team of A-players, and increase profitability.

What I love most about this book is how Kelly uses real-life examples of business owners she worked with who were struggling with common pitfalls: over-complicating their offers, overspending on things that don’t generate real returns, not having clear, documented systems in place, and trying to do it all with a duct taped team. These are issues that many entrepreneurs can relate to, and Kelly does a fantastic job of showing how these mistakes can be fixed by focusing on the right systems, processes, and people.

Kelly’s insights into building and leading a strong, efficient, self-led team are invaluable. She outlines exactly how business owners can create an environment where their team helps drive growth, generate more revenue, and ensures the business runs smoothly. The result is freedom for the business owner to step away from the day-to-day operations and focus on what truly matters - scaling and enjoying the success they’ve worked hard for.

If you’re looking for practical strategies to transform your business and free yourself from overwhelm, Bigger Than You is a must-read. Kelly provides not just inspiration, but real tools that you can implement immediately to start seeing results.

If you really want to win, read this book!

My original first edition printed copy has tons of notes in it from the level of business I was at, and my capacity to understand my business, when this book came out almost 4 years ago.

Fast forward to this audio edition, I am able to hear the expertise, the tools, strategies, and actions to implement with a whole new listening and capability that I did not have before.

This is a(n) (audio) book that not only do you need to read it at the beginning of the year and then create your team ‘training and development game plan’ for the year. But you need to read it again in the middle of the year or at least go back to some of those notes that you said you wanted to review and review them and ask yourself if you are doing them?! Are you implementing them?! Have you outgrown them and are ready for that next level of success that Kelly is talking about.

And the question then becomes “is the book enough?” or “is this time for you/me to join one of her programs?” because “I’ve outgrown the book.”

And truly that’s what every reader should be aspiring to do with any book that they read, which is to “outgrow the book” because that book is only relative to who you are, where you are at, and your current capacity to be able to listen, implement, and integrate the concepts and knowledge that the author, in this case Kelly Roach, was able to give you from their level of success and you’re able to grasp and implement at YOUR level of success.

For me, the beauty of having an original edition and now listening to the book, I can hear where Kelly’s acumen has increased and become even more laser sharp and strategic since she first published ‘Bigger Than You’.

It’s all “battle tested”, refined, and broken down in a way that makes this a powerful book for any Entrepreneur that is developing their team, as well as developing themselves to be a leader of an ever growing organization.

I cannot recommend this audiobook along with the physical book enough.

Thank you Kelly!
