ARE YOU READY TO COMMIT TO WORKING ON YOUR BUSINESS RATHER THAN IN IT?
Are you currently working on private projects but unsure how to turn it into a fully fledged business?
Do you feel overwhelmed or need guidance on setting up your own systems and processes?
I knew my craft in creating beautiful interiors, but I didn't have a clue how to find new clients, charge or set up a website! Finding someone “on my team” to guide and support me in starting my business was one of the smartest investments I have made for my company.
It wasn't long afterwards that I had built up enough clients on my wait-list and felt brave enough to take the leap and quit my full time job!
If you are wanting the freedom and flexibility of running your own business, now is the time to start investing in yourself!
I have designed a personalised 1:1 Mentorship Program to help you turn your side hustle into a full fledged business!
This program will of course be tailored to your own needs and goals so you will feel confident and supported to grow your business, with a focus on attracting more clients and being paid your worth.
“From our initial conversation, Melissa has been an absolute pleasure to collaborate with. Her wealth of knowledge, kindness, and personalized approach have been invaluable to my business. Over the past few months, our partnership has led to a complete transformation. Melissa provided constructive criticism where necessary and meticulously dissected every aspect of my business, preventing me from feeling overwhelmed.
Melissa has challenged me to step outside my comfort zone and embrace discomfort while recognizing my own value. Since engaging with her, I’ve overhauled my onboarding process, set financial targets, and implemented streamlined procedures for enhanced efficiency. Under her guidance, I’ve adopted the entrepreneurial mindset and witnessed my business thrive, tripling my profits within a month.””

MEET YOUR MENTOR
I am a fully qualified interior designer with over 15 years experience in residential and hospitality projects. I was working as an in-house interior designer for 8 years and then crowding my evenings and weekends working with my own private clients. I reached the point where I couldn’t keep up, and was terrified of taking that leap into full time self employment just yet.
So I decided to go slow and was recommended to work with a business coach. My coach inspired me to work hard on setting up the back end of my business.
That was 8 years ago and I now have the freedom and flexibility to run my own show. I have systems and processes in place that give me the confidence to run projects with my team, concept through to completion, a long list of clients that mostly come by word of mouth and are happy to pay for my premium services.
Stopping at creating beautiful interiors was never my plan. I wanted more and made sure that I’ve got more. The “more” has come in the form of TV presenting, guest speaking at events, workshops, blog and magazine contributions and travelling to international design fairs.
That’s my story so far, where will yours take you?
