  • “Mentorship can be a blurry line between great advice, action and accountability, where you leave with one but maybe not the others. I’ve been lucky enough to receive all three from Mel, every time we speak, I have actionable takeaways that give my business real value, rather than just encouragement. Defining the pain points within my business, looking at it from a macro perspective and moving the needle towards where I need to go. Can’t thank her enough for the resources, listening and advice she has given me to continue to grow my small business.”

Having a mentor like Mel with her wealth of knowledge has truly inspired me to keep dreaming big, continue pushing (even if it meant getting out of my comfort zone), and achieve sustainable growth for the business. I feel empowered and safe knowing I have her guidance and support. Highly recommend her to anyone looking to establish, grow or expand their businesses."
