As solopreneurs we pride ourselves on taking action, creating change and making waves in the world. But have you ever felt like you were “stuck” in some way? Or have you wondered what your genius is and how you can make a (great!) living doing it? Then this episode is one you’ll love listening to!

MORE ABOUT THIS SHOW

In episode 68, success coach and business optimizer, Melanie Benson Strick joins me to talk neuro-linguistic Programming (NLP), choosing the stories we tell ourselves and finding your genius.

Melanie is a wealth of information. She shares her personal struggles, triumphs and real-life experiences with authenticity and clarity. You’ll hear how she’s been where you are and what steps she’s taken to propel herself into the elite realm of six and seven-figure income earning coaches. We talk about topics like:

* How she used NLP to go from $1k a month to 6 figures in 9 months. She hasn't made less than 6 figures in the 12 yrs since

* How to create common ground with ANYONE, in biz or life

* Why it’s critical to Design a business that supports the lifestyle you want - rather than starting your business and THEN designing your lifestyle

* The law of unattachment: how to practice it to become a successful entrepeneur

* Everything you say yes to means you're saying no to something else

This show is a must-listen for anyone shifting their mindset from a solopreneur to a successful solopreneur. Whether you’re still driving a desk and dreaming of your solo lifestyle or you’re in the trenches creating that dream, Melanie and I discuss the process of her journey and what she’s learned along the way that will make a difference in yours.

After you’ve rocked out listening to Melanie, find her on FB and Twitter. She’d love to hear from you!
