I Was Like You…

I remember when I was struggling to earn $2K per month from a chock-full calendar of underpaying clients, and creating $10K+ reliably every single month was a pipedream. It took way longer than it should have for me to break through to the massive success I have now. That’s why I created this program, from my heart to yours, so you can stop guessing and start earning.
Let’s dive in!

YOU Can Succeed with a Creative Business.

It isn’t something that only left-brained, tech-savvy, or highly organized people can do.

You don’t have to be outgoing or charismatic or have lots of degrees. 

It’s as simple as connecting with the right people,

having a conversation with them

and offering to help.

That’s it.

$5K Package Sold

“I just did TWO sales calls back to back the RIGHT way! For the first one, I followed the script and booked a second call with her because she wasn’t ready to commit, instead of sending her a proposal. Didn’t hedge on the package and it went really well! The second one I also followed the script and got a YES for my biggest $5k package on the call!”

6 Month Program Sold

“The craziest thing happened to me and it’s all because of you! I offered some coaching sessions to my community and heard back from someone I haven’t heard from in 15 years. We had a quick call and I gave her some quick tips and when I asked her if she had any questions…she asked “how can I work with you?” My mind is blown right now. I sold her into a $5K, 6 month coaching program and received a $500 deposit. Wow. Wow. Wow. I’ve never had that happen. My mind is completely blown. Thank you so much, forever.”

An additional $5000 in revenue

“I can’t believe how easy that was! You gave me everything I needed to boost my income by 30%. Wow! You also showed me how I was leaving a LOT of money on the table, doing business as usual. I corrected the problem, and have now secured an additional $5000 in revenue.”

From $0 to $2000 in just weeks

“Unbelievable! I found Melissa just a few weeks ago and went from confusion, overwhelm and zero knowledge about how to effectively develop my idea, to putting a name and tagline on my business, $2000 in my pocket, and a fast-growing list of eager clients in my hand. I thought there were a million things to handle…and there weren’t. You helped me sift through the overwhelm and focus on the 2 things I needed to do first.”

Answers To Your Ponderings, Doubts, Fears & More…

Will it work for me? Really? Quirky, alternative, non-mainstream, out-of-the-box me?

The process works IF you work it.
That means accepting it can work, being flexible about which of your amazing quirky brilliant ideas we focus on first and showing up, being coachable, and taking action.

I have tons of certifications and degrees, but haven’t earned much from any of them. Is this for me?

Absolutely! Let’s get that incredible you out into the world making a difference and an income without delay!

I’m an introvert. Plus, I’m suspicious of sales and marketing and sleaze and well, frankly, I’m generally a skeptic. Can I really have a creative business I feel good about?

Absolutely. I ADORE skeptics and introverts (our company and community is full of them). We are committed to helping you stretch bravely to build something rooted in integrity and care and creativity.

I’ve gone through hundreds of auditions, tried selling my stuff before, and offering the work of my heart. It has only left me broke and bereft. How is this different?

Being a freelancer always waiting to be chosen is fundamentally different from having a creative business that means a longing or need in the world.
The former is never truly reliable and always counts on others. The latter almost always is and always counts on self. With the right mindset, skills and habits, it works.

I already have a business. It isn’t working for me, but it is up and running and earning. Is this for me?

The process works IF you work it.
That means accepting it can work, being flexible about which of your amazing quirky brilliant ideas we focus on first and showing up, being coachable, and taking action.

I am ever so slightly scatter-brained. What I mean is that I flit from one new idea to the next, having trouble focusing and completing things. Can this work for me?

Yes, it can. Think back to what you HAVE you followed through with? What kept you going? What brought you back when you strayed?
I have structured this program to work for many kinds of people, but you will need to make an internal commitment and set up the right supports. We have optional available 1-on-1 coaching sessions and additional supports that can make the difference.

I have lots of life experience and skills, but no certifications or degrees. Is this for me?

Yep! No specific degrees are needed to have a thriving creative business. If your degree is from the University of Life, that absolutely qualifies.

I’ve failed in business before. People made promises. I believed them and got burned. But, I still want to work for myself and do my thing. Is this right for me?

Yes, if you are willing to release your fears and feelings from the past.
This is a partnership. The process works IF you work it.
That means accepting it can work, being flexible about which of your amazing quirky brilliant ideas we focus on first and showing up, being coachable, and taking action.
This is not a one-size-fits-all approach. Everyone needs the same skills, but everyone is building their own specific business.
