ASK Yourself

If Not Now…When?

Whether we know what we truly want, or our vision of our future life is unclear, many of us keep putting off the life we dream of because we are unable or unwilling to take the steps necessary to make our dreams come true. Are you willing to put your dreams off for another year?

ASK Yourself

If Not Now…When?

Whether we know what we truly want, or our vision of our future life is unclear, many of us keep putting off the life we dream of because we are unable or unwilling to take the steps necessary to make our dreams come true. Are you willing to put your dreams off for another year?

The Facts

A Proven 5-Step Process:

  1. Remove Barriers (Clear the Past)
  2. Discover What Matters Most To You
  3. Define Short Term Goals and a get Clear Action Plan
  4. Align Your Mind and Behavior
  5. Practice (and Make Good on the Promise of Your Life)

During this process we will move forward by looking backwards, spending time and energy looking deeply into the thoughts and beliefs, both conscious and unconscious, that continue to block us. We will then set goals that are aligned with our deepest values, and create a specific action plan, broken down into smaller, clearly-defined goals, which will allow us to move towards our dreams one step at a time. We will cull our inner resources, and create a system of support, both internal and external, that will allow us to make good on the promise of our lives.

are you living the life you want to live?

Have you been frustrated by an inability to pin point the things that you need to change in order to create the life you really want? And when you do identify changes you want to make, do you find that making these changes often seems unusually difficult? The problem isn’t you. It’s your process. If your goals don’t honor your values, if they are created from a place of fear or negative habit, if you’ve never learned to really dream, you may make modest gains, but you will never radically change your life. If you want big change and to get on path for the life, you really want to live, now is the time.

The SEIZE YOUR DREAM Virtual Workshop is a vision and goal-setting process designed to help you create radical success by clearing the past, clarifying goals, and committing to a new future with a tangible action plan.

I’ve taught this process live for over two decades, to people all over the world. Hundreds have used this course to recharge their personal and professional lives by using its exclusive powerful principles. You can too.

Because the work is simple, immediate, and interactive, the results are lasting and profound. You will move beyond temporary mental shifts to create tangible solutions and BRAND NEW paradigms of success for yourself.

With Melissa’s leadership, I created my bold gameplan for the year. We focused on what I need to say YES to and, just as importantly, on what I need to say NO to, then I was off to the races. Now my business is manifesting just the way I could have only dreamed it would.
Pamela Riley

Founder, The Cancer Revolution

I was in a deep hole, accomplishing very little, and enjoying almost nothing, when I  began working with Melissa. Within two months, I’d booked a new writing gig, found financing for my feature film, christened my next musical project. 
Eric Karten

Writer/Producer, The Trials of Kate McCall

I didn’t have a business, name, packages, offers or anything else before CSE. Just an idea. 2 years later I can support myself (through a pandemic) and it’s incredible. I hit my first income goal and I’m on my way to the next. I’m incredibly fulfilled because I can help people, see their results and make others around me build a business.
Kristina Kury

CEO & Founder, Sprout Creative

Melissa helped me understand the nuts and bolts of building a business from scratch – what that looks like, a timetable, and the kind of people I need to work with…but also how to find within myself a commitment and motivation and values that I can bring to the world through my business.
Daniel Raim

Academy Award Nominated Filmaker, Writer

This workshop is not about learning about some magic bullet, but learning about yourself. You can find out how you are contributing to your feelings of doubt, or why you are not achieving your goals and how to change your approach and perception to live the life you want to lead.
Jorge Agraz

Consultant

“In TWO MONTHS since beginning my work with Melissa & CSE I have:

    • Increased my income by 75% from mid 5 figures to over 6 figures.
    • Learned a reliable, repeatable, step-by-step procedure for closing sales with clients I love and a schedule I control.
    • Tripled my income within 8 months (from mid 5 figures to 6 figures.) Gotten a clear picture of the number one obstacle holding me back from achieving what I want professionally and how to overcome it.
    • Gained an incredible network of like-minded entrepreneurs through my access to the CSE online community and events.
    • Broken my cycle of hesitation and lack of confidence, and turned it into a cycle of action and determination.
    • Learned a reliable, repeatable, step-by-step procedure for closing sales with the clients I know I can serve best.
    • Embraced the full extent of the impact I want to have on the world, and reset all of my goals to make that happen.

To say it plainly – Now I love what I do. Now I know what I do. Now I know why I do it, and who I’m doing it for. And I love leaning into it all, while I make more money than I ever have.

Andreas Kraemer

CEO, Business and Life

The work I have done with Melissa has allowed me to shift my perspective on business and financial success from one of passive observer to active participant. The ability to direct and decide my own income flow has freed me creatively in ways I never imagined possible. My business supports my creative endeavors. My creative projects inform my work with the business. I am on track toward my first independent 100k year and am winning awards with my new series at the same time. CSE has made all the difference.
Dylan Brody

Award Winning Writer, The Tonight Show, David Sedaris

CSE showed me how to build the entire foundation of my 7 figure business, I became a 6 figure in business in 2 years and developed all of my programs and came up with my name for my company. I learned how to sell my courses, I started to price my packages at a rate that scared me, and I set up the business systems that I am still using 8 years later! Becuase of CSE, I have made well over 7 figures in revenue, I have an amazing brand, I am attracting high-end clients.
Valorie Hubbard

Professional Actress and Founder, The Actor's Fasttrack

“I run my business so completely differently than I did last year – I can’t stress that enough. I used to NEVER have a plan for anything. I just flew by the seat of my pants, hoping for the next client to come along. I couldn’t predict income. I had no control over anything. And I was often broke. Now, I feel like a different person. I created packages that put me in the driver’s seat of my business, I streamlined my services and processes, I nailed my sales call ability (easily selling $5k packages over the phone), and I started charging literally TRIPLE what I used to charge. So now I work with fewer clients who are all the most amazing people, and I feel 100% centered in my zone of genius. My goal this year is to surpass 6 figures… and guess what? I have a plan that makes that a goal a ‘when’ not an ‘if’. I wholeheartedly recommend CSE to anyone who wants to build a successful creative business.”
Krista Walsh

Founder and President, Krista Walsh Copywriting, LLC

Before I participated in Melissa’s workshop, I had taken my “You Should Do Voiceover” training classes from the germ of an idea to successful weekend workshops in LA, NY and Chicago… but I was putting in massive effort for a fairly small return. After working with CSE, my income increased 5x to just under 6 figures in the next year.
Tish Hicks

Owner, The Voice Over Dojo

I really do believe in the power of Melissa – I think I am a bit uncoachable; she always has me see the possibility; every time I speak with her I create a win – I just upsold a client into a 12K program – Paid in Full! Before CSE I was only getting trickles of income. Now, cash upfront!
Giavanni Washington, PhD

UCLA, Department of World Arts & Cultures

I’ve been bragging about you and your workshops to anyone who will listen! I wanted you to know that I made over $6000 on my business over the last few days. I credit you with really helping me change the way I think about, brand, and how to market my business. Your company has made all the difference for me. Thank you!
