Are You?…

  • Banking on your million-dollar talent but still eating beans??Making less than you?d hoped for ? and?need?
  • Stressing your relationships with your choice of a creative career? Working all hours, fudging finances, postponing quality time with loved?ones?
  • Spreading yourself thin or running in several directions to keep your creative business?afloat?
  • Cutting corners so you can ?do what you love,? only to feel?your energy, creativity, and generosity squeezed to?death?
  • Running on the fumes of optimism,?with not enough (money, clients, time) to show for your efforts? You can feel the potential, but trying to make the business fly leaves you more and more exhausted, maybe a little bit angry and even slightly?hopeless?
  • Suffering for your gift, but you just can?t quit? Feeling farther and farther away from living?the creative passionate life you dreamed of?

?A Creative Career Doesn?t Have to Mean a Vow of Poverty. There is Another Way.?

I found a new perspective on my life and work. I was in a deep hole, accomplishing very little, and enjoying almost nothing, when I reluctantly began working with Melissa. Within two months, I?d booked a new writing gig, found financing for my feature film, and christened my next musical project. Melissa is incisive without being critical, unfailingly supportive without being phony. In short, Melissa is one of the few people I?ve met who is actually suited to helping people fulfill the promise of their own lives.

Ten times what I had earned previously! Before working with Melissa, I had been a successful actor, a literary manager, producer, and business owner. But four years of under-charging and over-promising had produced a workload that was simply unsustainable. Melissa helped me reorganize, get back time for life and family, and GET PAID what I was worth! Within a few short weeks we?d transformed my business, getting 10 times what I had earned for the same work previously!

Agenda

PLAY BIG is the ONLY event that offers these six in-the-room transformations for Creative Entrepreneurs, delivered over three?days:

Day 1

Breakthrough

Breakthrough devastating beliefs and behaviors that have kept your creative soul locked in a dungeon. Finally stop the ?dancing monkey? routine that has you constantly working to please and keep your clients, while draining your focus, skill, and passion dry, compromising yourself in the process. Release fears and worry about your business and step into power and mastery at?last.

Learn

Learn Melissa?s proven process to immediately identify exactly who your customers are and HOW TO SPEAK TO THEM so they flock to your services, products, and offerings, buy over and over again, and THANK?YOU with ever-more-handsome paychecks, referrals, and repeat?business.

Day 2

Change

Change the way you do business: Discover a SIMPLE but PROFOUND business-shift that will permanently lift you out of the deadly gun-for-hire, time-for-dollars model you?ve been slaving under, and have you truly contributing quality goods and services to more and more clients in a sane and energizing way.

Expand

Expand with my ?Highest-Service Six-Figure Surefire Sales Cycle? that will have you stop begging and start converting prospects at a dizzying rate ? and loving sales in the process! I?ll give you WORD-FOR-WORD scripts that I use to capture six figures in less than 12 months, with more time off and more impact in my business than ever?before.

Day 3

Jumpstart

Jumpstart your business from zero to BIG in record-time using my no-fail, unbelievably effective and right-under-your-nose technique for FINDING AND CONVERTING NEW CUSTOMERS ? even if you don?t have a list to speak of! (Even if you didn’t know you needed a list or what to do with?it.)

Revolutionize

Revolutionize your business for good with?my proven BOOMING BUSINESS BREAKTHROUGH PATH, featuring three key components to REVOLUTIONIZE YOUR BUSINESS for both quick cash-injection AND long-term, reliable growth. Many businesses fail because they don’t know how to grow. With this system, you?ll have a roadmap for creating continued?success.

One of the most creative business thinkers I have ever worked with. Melissa?s ability to see, define and articulate what 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. I cannot recommend Melissa highly enough for anyone seeking outstanding guidance to grow their small business into a large, dynamic and profitable one.
