👋 Hey Business Owner!
You started your business with a vision, that excited you. But most days it feels like the business is running you.
You’re late for dinner, miss your daughter’s ballet recital, and have to say no (again) to a weekend family getaway.
Let’s face it–there’s nothing more frustrating than getting to the end of the day, only to feel like you still have a ton on your plate, and you didn’t actually make progress on your big priorities.
And there’s nothing more disheartening than feeling like you’re on a hampster wheel and you didn’t accomplish a thing!
You’re Not Alone
As an entrepreneur and business owner, you are wired to be an innovative problem solver. You’re constantly thinking about the future and the power of possibilities. You are an action-oriented risk-taker that is passionate and deeply committed to your business.
Focusing on today…or even the next 90 days doesn’t sound exciting…AT ALL! In fact, if you’re being honest, it makes you yawn.
Top 5 Goal-Planning Challenges for Entrepreneurs
Because Entrepreneurs are called to be visionary risk-takers, they commonly face the following goal-planning challenges.
1. Shiny Object Syndrom – The newest, brightest idea or opportunity catches your attention. It gives you an adrenaline boost and you run to it instead of creating and working a plan.
2. Always Putting Out Fires – You’re caught up in the tyranny of the urgent. Your daily work is focused on the most urgent task which prevents you from ever getting to your higher priorities.
3. Derailed – Once upon a time, you started off with a plan, but something derailed you. You got distracted by another opportunity or a crisis. The economy changed and so did your business. The goals you set 3 months ago no longer seem relevant. And for that matter, you’re not even sure where you saved them!
4. Overly Dependent on Intuition – Your gut instinct has served you well. In fact, there are days when you flat out feel that you perform better under pressure. Who needs the bureaucracy of a plan when between your experience, success record, and your noggin?
5. Stretched for Time – Most weeks you’re working more than you planned. At times you feel like you’re burning the candle at both ends. You flat out feel that you don’t have time for planning. So, you continue on with the daily grind trying to be as productive as possible hoping things will slow down someday.
But what if there was a way to get unstuck?
The reality is that having a clear, proven path to follow and an experienced guide to lead you is a game-changer. A path that will give you the confidence to know where you need to focus your time and energy, the clarity of your highest priorities, and yes, even a plan to make it happen this year!
That’s what the Entrepreneur’s Stop Winging It Challenge is designed to 1

Meet Your Business Leadership Coach
Hi, I’m Melissa!
For over two decades, I’ve worked with large corporations, small businesses, and non-profits helping business leaders get unstuck, achieve goals, and fulfill their potential.
But the reality is, the majority of entrepreneurs don’t have this kind of support.
Business owners often wing it making costly mistakes, or they are paralyzed not knowing what to do next and feeling overwhelmed.
Growing up in a family that owned a business for 40+ years, working with business leaders and non-profit groups, I’ve seen first-hand the challenges faced when you don’t have the right support.
That’s why I take my experience and proven tools that Fortune 500 companies use and right-size them for your business.
And it’s why I created The Entrepreneur’s – Stop Winging It Challenge.
This challenge will take work on your part, and while I can’t do it for you, I will help you achieve breakthrough faster than if you tried to figure it out on your own. Leverage the learnings of my career and apply my framework to get unstuck and ensure the work you’re doing will have the most return for your time.
As an entrepreneur, I was bombarded by ideas and business offers daily. I worked with Melissa to help prioritize and create a plan for all of my business endeavors. She helped me organize my existing business and create a roadmap for the future.
Her process helped me recover 30 hours each week from my 7-day work week. We created a plan for manpower and systems that helped me free up time and get organized.
I definitely recommend Melissa to entrepreneurs that are overwhelmed with their daily work and need to create a blueprint for how to grow in a thoughtful way.
