Kevin’s Story
Kevin McCarthy is a seasoned motivational speaker, entrepreneur and sales and marketing executive.
Kevin helps employees and executives find new levels of success in their professional and personal lives.
At age 30, Kevin and his two partners ran the 16th largest independent franchise for the nations’ leading real estate franchiser. As an officer on the Board of Directors for 31 independent franchisees in his market, Kevin pioneered and implemented a revolutionary Internet technology that catapulted real estate marketing in the early 1990’s. His forward thinking and marketing savvy led him to being interviewed by Today’s Realtor, the official magazine of the National Association of Realtors.
Kevin was invited to give his first career speech in 1994 as a keynote for six regional sales rallies within the real estate industry. His success and notoriety further led him to a 14-state Western region speaking tour.
It wasn’t long before Kevin was traveling coast-to-coast empowering real estate professionals through his dynamic presentations, training seminars and workshops.
Utilizing his travel time and web marketing savvy, Kevin developed and bootstrapped a small dot-com business that he later sold to the second largest, publicly-held dot-com company in the real estate sector. Kevin became a paper millionaire for a brief moment – “paper” and “brief” are the keywords! Through a series of bad choices, Kevin lost everything and learned some hard lessons.
Having hit bottom, Kevin decided to learn all he could about the way we think. He completed a 500-hour Cognitive Behavior course and has spent hundreds more hours studying the correlation between core beliefs, thinking patterns and the actions we take. The result is his program. Bouncing Back: How to Feel Like a Winner and Be a Success – Even in Turbulent Times!
