My guest today is Kelly MacLean. Kelly is the president and founder of The Kelly Mac Lean Achievement Center, helping teens put their best foot forward while stepping into the college and career of their dreams.

Kelly formed her company after repeatedly witnessing high school students making mistakes in their search for the best college to attend, mistakes resulted in students missing scholarships, not being accepted at the school of their choice, and switching schools or majors. She realized how overwhelming the process can be, and how costly mistakes are.

She felt there had to be a better way to help students find their path. Her company provides resources specific to each student. The goal is to reduce college expenses while finding the best college. This is done through strategic preparation that includes selecting a major, career planning, college selection, preparing for tests, scholarships, applications and more.

Kelly is a certified trainer for John Maxwell Leadership programs, an ACT test prep provider, a featured expert contributor for Stack Magazine, and a member of the Ohio Association of College Admission Counselors.

Her company continues to work with the students through their freshman year in college to ensure their success in college.
