We started our business in October of 2022, and thank God that we happened to attend one of Melissa’s seminars at high point market that month, because she absolutely changed the course of our new business. Thanks to her principles, we are making 2-3 times the revenue than we had anticipated, we are booked out months in advance already, making our first year in business an unbelievable success. I would not in my wildest dreams have believed the results that we are getting. Thanks to her podcast we are just going to keep climbing and we will know how and when to hire help, how to market, and we have already started our business with a healthy work life balance that I never could have believed was possible. Weirdly the podcast also helped me get closer to my husband because it gave me permission to prioritize self care even as an entrepreneur. With better self care, I have more time, attention, and energy for my friends and family and doggies:) I’m now a total unabashed fan girl, and can’t wait to see the incredible potential that Melissa Galt has made possible in my life:) thank you so much for this! Would recommend for any designer or creative no matter how long you’ve been in business, I would have given anything to know about this resource right out of design school 15 years ago:) thank you thank you! Keep doing this amazing work, you’re changing lives.

Melissa brings a wealth of information to her podcast . Whether it is pricing, process or marketing, I always learn something new. She is also easy to listen to with her steady tone and fun stories. Mostly, she has reinvigorated me to be brave and break out of old thought patterns and misconceptions of what I think is possible in my business. Thanks Melissa, you get me.

My goal for the year is to begin the process of scaling my business. I’ve tried hiring in the past and found myself frustrated and disappointed with the process. Finding good talent is not easy and I struggled with figuring out who my first hire should even be. A friend shared this podcast with me and I found so much value and help listening to How hire local assistants right the first time. I am looking forward to checking out the next episode on interview questions…this was timely and just what I needed

Melissa is a powerhouse of excellent information and motivation! She rocks it👍

I commute from Long Beach to San Diego twice a month and always find myself tuning in to Melissa’s podcast for those little pearls of wisdom. There’s always something new for me to note and take action on for my business… I feel like I’m being majorly productive just from listening to her while I drive!!

Melissa has a down to earth, but forward facing approach to breaking down the ins and outs of our field. Every episode is so valuable. Mindset focused, process focused, and everything in between. I’m excited for every episode- it’s gold!!!

As a professional creative, I felt heard and understood through the many challenges and obstacles we face in the industry. Refreshing to relate to someone like Melissa who can appropriately guide through these challenges with ease of mind. Wonderfully crafted, Melissa.

I really like the little pieces of advice and in Ep. 5, I liked the focus on getting out there and getting business. And also, focusing on the type of design you like to do.

This podcast is a game changer! Melissa includes how to manage all facets of owning a design business without losing sight of your personal life. She covers a lot of information, but delivers it in a manageable way - it’s easy to understand and she gives clear direction on how to implement. I highly recommend this to all designers looking to grow their business and regain personal time.

This podcast is empowering and every time I hear Melissa speak I take away something new. Her approach to coaching is relatable and effective. Melissa’s knowledge and wisdom is exactly what I need to get my business on track. I cannot wait for the next one to come out!

Melissa is smart, witty, and true cheerleader for those of us in the design world. Her advice and recommendations have helped me effectively build my business. I can’t wait to hear all she’ll share next!

What can I say besides mind blown…and that I want to be Melissa when I grow up. She’s talking about a no nonsense approach, boundaries, systems, balance…AND sharing actionable steps to achieve the same. Definitely lots to learn here. Thank you for sharing this Melissa 💓
