That I dared to take this chance, to risk reaching for my greatest career goals rather than waiting forever for someone to give me permission is, to a larger extent than I like to admit, because of a woman named Melissa McFarlane. She came to me for some mentoring as a writer, figured out that I would rankle at the thought of being coached on my career and success and then went ahead and did it for me secretly, without telling me that’s what she was doing. She’s kind of great. She’s helping creative types make a living like regular people, without turning into regular people.

Testimonials
What are people saying about CSE?
Before working with Melissa McFarlane we had been in business for over 5 years and we had already experienced some success, but we knew that we wanted to take our business to the next level. …Within 6 months we booked $50,000 worth of clients – all in a period of about 5 weeks. Overall, in the year we spent working with Melissa, we tripled our business! Now, we are more confident in who we are and what we offer, we have systems in place that are working for us, and our bank account is much healthier than it was before, all thanks to Melissa McFarlane & CSE!
Melissa did not ask me to believe in anything – not a deity, not a method, not a set of principles, not even in Melissa herself. She asked only that I execute simple tasks which she clearly laid out before me, even if I couldn’t possibly see the point. And despite my distaste for all of it, despite my reluctance to be swayed, despite my lack of faith in anything at all, the simple assignments, coupled with Melissa’s insights, produced life-altering results. Melissa is incisive without being critical, she’s knowledegable without being imperious, she’s kind without accepting self-deception, she’s wise without being obtuse, and she’s unfailingly supportive without being phony. In short, Melissa is one of the few people I’ve ever met who is actually suited to helping people fulfill the promise of their own lives.
Melissa’s stunning intuitive powers, rigorous insistence on “doing the math” and deep compassion have guided me through countless stuck places into a whole new realm of personal satisfaction and business success. She has helped me define goals and then held me accountable when all I wanted to do was change the subject. Her support has been invaluable.
Melissa McFarlane is one of the most creative business thinkers I have ever worked with. Her ability to see, define and articulate what I (and other artistic entrepreneurs) need to grow a business is remarkable. Her feedback was direct, yet gracious, so at no time did I feel embarrassed about where I was stuck or unclear. Melissa is caring, knowledgeable and so committed to my success…at times she has held a space for me I have struggled to hold for myself. I cannot recommend Melissa highly enough for anyone seeking outstanding guidance to grow their small business into a large, dynamic and profitable one.
