We will be re-running this programme in January 2025. If you would like to be one of the 12 participants please email me at [email protected] and tell me your story !
Congratulations!
On taking that bold step towards following your dream to build your own business.
I know you have been thinking about doing this for ages. You know you are an expert in your field and with 6.8 billion people online, you know that there must be a way to go solo and commercialise your knowledge.....and now you've made a decision that will re-shape your life and lead to incredible personal and professional growth!
The journey you are about to take is not only courageous but also filled with endless possibilities - but we both know that success in business goes beyond just having a great idea. It's about cultivating the right mindset, embracing a strategic approach to organization and finding clarity in the chaos of brilliant ideas. There are many ways that you can sell your expertise on line: group programmes, memberships, consultancy to name a few and the decision around the strategy you use is personal and based on your circumstances, budget, available time and, what scenario you are most comfortable with. I am here to use my 20 years of business experience and mindset expertise working with solo entrepreneurs, to make sure you make the right decisions and are fully equipped to see them through to glory.
Why This Program?
Working alone can feel really isolating so I have designed this high-touch, live group program to ensure you stay motivated and on track. During this program we will come together every two weeks on Zoom, with a supportive group of like-minded entrepreneurs in a classroom setting where I will personally hold your hand on this life-changing journey. What sets this program apart is the personal touch. You won't just be another face in the crowd; With a maximum of 12 people in your group, you'll have plenty of opportunities to interact directly with me, test your ideas share your challenges and, most importantly find tailor made solutions.
And that's not all! There will also be a private Facebook group where you can chat with and learn from your peers—fellow adventurers on the same path towards entrepreneurial greatness.

I had a lot of internal conflicts and insecurities that I was uncomfortable discussing with others. You have a genuine way of encouraging while pushing your students to face their fears and stepping out in faith!! That’s what I love about you. I didn’t know how much my mindset was holding me back until I actually started working through the exercises. This was huge for me and lifted a heavy load that I was feeling but couldn’t actually explain to myself or those around me who keeps asking, “when are you launching.” The one conversation gave me the confirmation that I need to be flexible and modify my plans. I now have a much clearer vision of how to proceed. You’re awesome.

Wonderful course and Mentor really felt like my plans were thought about thoroughly with a great interest and wanted to provide value and actionable takeaways in order for me to clarify my vision around the brand.
The deeper insight into my own story and how this could translate into the brand identity more and all the add ons that could be possible within the business. No nonsense, good sense and a thinker outside the box. Very insightful and helpful.
Thank you Melinda, a pleasure to work with you too. A great investment made!

Wonderful! Melinda was very engaging, insightful, personable, and honest.
I value her honest critique. I have a clearer direction now on where to take my brand and where not to waste money. I'm running around with a notebook in my hand as ideas pop into my head from her suggestions.
Melinda is an expert in growing successful businesses and she know the struggles of those just starting out. That is very meaningful to me. I expected an honest assessment of what I have done so far, as well as some advice on what next, or what to improve. She hit it straight on with an honest assessment, what was missing, what to improve, and how and where to use my strengths. Melinda’s advice is invaluable to me. I am super excited to move forward.

I started this program with many uncertainties about what I wanted to do and I finish it with a vision of my future business. It needs to mature, I know that it will evolve but it's a vision nonetheless. I have tools to help me work on it and I know which
blocks and mindsets I have to work on. I'm well set!
I appreciate how Melinda listens to our projects and knows how to guide us without interfering with our choices. It's truly on our own terms. Last but not least, I love our small (but soon growing I'm sure) community and the support we gave each others

Being an entrepreneur isn’t easy. Let’s start with that. You have a clear business plan. Perfect! And, you’re an entrepreneur, which means you are intelligent, committed and equipped to work very hard.
While you are taking care of production, packaging, copy, web-development, photographs, social media, accounting, employees, taxes, and compliance... there is something else happening - CHANGE. The market is dynamic! It changes and so do you. It’s ok. It’s energy and growth in action. Melinda has the experience, intellect, and honesty to help you navigate shifting trends. She can help interpret how these changes relate to your brand. She will listen, then offer guidance to support an empowered mindset. As a brand mentor, Melinda, can be a very effective “true north” relationship in your toolbox.

A Bit About Me
Thirty years ago I started out as a single mum with no qualifications and three under twos to support. I wrote a list of what I could possibly earn money at and it was a very short list….. I could type, I could write great letters and I could knit.
Since then I have built three six figure businesses – one in the craft industry, (I’ve written 30 internationally published books on crafts), one in designer knitwear (which I created and sold worldwide) and one with handmade soap and natural cosmetics. (from my kitchen I built what became the largest handmade soap company in the UK supplying all the supermarkets and major store groups.)
For the past 20 years I have coached over 200 entrepreneurs helping them find the courage and discipline to monetise their passions and build their own empires. I have worked with product manufacturers, institute directors, a child psychologist, a pet product specialist and many others from all areas of businss. I found my true purpose and I love it.
Today I live in The People’s Republic of Facebook and in glorious South West France with my two dogs, Doris & Raphy, my cats Chanel, Bertie, Mimi & Harry and my two chickens Sophie' and Marilyn.
Let's make this new business of yours fly!
Key benefits from this programme.
- The chance for you to create a really informed, objective and in depth strategy for your business with a highly acclaimed international business coach. Over the last 20 years I have coached over 200 entrepreneurs and helped them to build solid, sustainable businesses. Success starts with a powerful, verified concept and to create that you need an experienced and objective view. Often, with all the time and effort we put into building our businesses we get too close and fail to take our own personality and lifestyle into the equation. This program will explain how you can weave your story into your business and turn ordinary into extraordinary.
- An intimate live group program where you can test your ideas and find the solutions you are seeking within a safe space. Allay your fears and build your confidence. You won't get any fluff from me so you need to want to hear the truth and learn how you can ensure your business will be built on a firm foundation.
- Absolute clarity. Whatever your business idea, once you are clear on what it truly represents, where to find the people it will appeal to and how to communicate your passion you will make your customers feel as if they are part of your family, create brand loyalty, engage your tribe and keep them inspired and keen to buy your products or services.
- Passion to Profit.
As your coach I am here to take your ideas and apply a strategy that will ensure your passion translates into a solid, manageable and viable business with a well informed, confident boss at the helm. Let's make this happen for you !
