LIFE
EXPERIENCES
In reading this profile, it is important to understand that
everything has not been “perfect” for Kim Bailey.
He has had his business and personal failures as well; and
firmly believes that “often times one does not achieve
great success without first falling flat on their face…and
hard.” Accepting responsibility, and learning from our
failures is what truly separates the successful from the mediocre.
Mr. Bailey has developed Proven Success Strategies specifically
designed to help avoid many of the costly pitfalls of business.
Kim welcomes the opportunity to discuss the challenges that
faced him, and has created an uplifting keynote entitled:
“Chicken Little Was Wrong,” about his journey
through darkness and financial ruin…told as only he
can, with a mixture of candor, warmth, and yes, humor.

to assist you in your catering business.
