Mel gave me the confidence & tools I needed

Mel’s coaching was an absolute game-changer for my business’s wholesale journey and first trade show experience.  
Her knowledge and unwavering support not only equipped me with the necessary tools and strategies, but also boosted my confidence in handling nerve-wracking face-to-face conversations in an unfamiliar environment!
Mel’s unique background as a business coach, former brand owner, and buyer provided invaluable insider perspectives. Her genuine, relatable and practical approach made working with her an absolute pleasure. If you are needing the confidence & advice to take your business to the next level, I highly recommend Mel!

Grateful to have had Mel as a business coach for over 3 years

I’ve had the privilege of working with Mel right from the very beginning of my venture and she has made a significant impact on my art business. Her guidance and support have been instrumental in transforming my creative endeavours into a thriving wholesale and retail business.

From the very beginning, Mel understood the unique challenges and opportunities of an art business in the wholesale and retail world. One of the most valuable aspects of her mentorship was the ability to provide straight forward, constructive feedback on my business which has helped my business to grow.

Her guidance extended beyond the studio as she helped me establish a solid business strategy, from pricing my art to marketing and building a brand. 

Mel’s expertise, personalised guidance, and unwavering support has really helped me build my business to what it is today. I’m incredibly grateful for her mentorship and the positive impact it has had on my creative journey.

Empowering  guidance

Mel empowered me with the guidance and confidence to expand my business, and I can’t praise her enough. When I first reached out to her, as a startup, she played a pivotal role in refining my website and branding.

Moreover, participating in the Wholesale online course was a game-changer, equipping me with invaluable knowledge to propel my small business forward. I also applied and took part in Shark Tank, an opportunity that I would not have had the confidence to apply for without Mel’s mentoring.

Another incredible facet of collaborating with Mel was the opportunity to connect with other remarkable businesses within her network. It truly forms an incredible entrepreneurial community.
