As a healer, she too struggled to walk her own path consistently, and knows the shadow side of the spiritual journey well.

Melissa Galt
I teach solopreneurs and business owners how to create truly successful, profitable businesses based on their passion. Without passion you aren’t likely to profit. And passion alone isn’t enough, you must master the tools of marketing. You can have the greatest product or service but until your prospect knows you, likes you and trusts you, they aren’t going to buy from you and that is what marketing does. Today I work with business owners either solo or with their teams, in design, home furnishings, and related fields, to teach you the simple proven methods of maverick marketing and leveraged branding™.

Kendall SummerHawk
I am a start-up company magnet, having cut my professional teeth designing healthcare software back in the early ’80′s (when leg warmers were popular and a PC was bigger than your suitcase). I quickly realized my ideas and perspective about how to create a wealth of money, time and freedom by running your own successful business was more valuable to the world than designing claims processing systems. I insist on learning from the very best.

We empower female real estate agents through our online content, teleseminars, webinars, and group/one-on-one coaching. Women soar in this industry, and contrary to popular opinion, it is due largely to how we differ from men, rather than how we can emulate them. At the National Association of Women Real Estate Agents, we teach women in real estate to “Play the real estate game like a woman!”
