As Seen On...

Dear (Soon-to-be) Sought-After Creative Professional,

That sounds wonderful doesn’t it?

Sought-after…

It’s what we all dream of when we decide to run our own creative business.

We imagine big, groundbreaking, press-receiving projects that get a lot of attention and possibly showcased in an industry-leading publication which will capture the attention of even bigger VIP clients.
Yet, since starting your business you're finding it’s not as glamorous as you imagined. 
You are probably: 
  • Working excessively long hours to handle all of the client projects.
  • ​Distracted by all of the endless tasks and to-dos.
  • ​Constantly looking for more client work (even though you’re already overbooked) because cash flow isn’t keeping you afloat. 
  • ​Missing out on time with family and friends because you have to “work”. 
  • ​Losing the passion for your business because it’s no longer fun.
  • ​ Bored because you aren’t doing what you do best, which is create, because you have to handle the day-to-day operations of your business. 
In Short: You are working crazy hours, for a low profit margin, working with clients who don’t light you up… And for what?
It Seems As Though The Business Is Running You Instead of You Running The Business…
And Yet, You Don’t Know What to Do to Fix It:
  • You’re worried that if you raise your rates, you’ll stop getting clients. 
  • ​You don’t feel like you are making enough money to hire team members (and who has time to train someone new?!).
  • ​You are the one with the BIG ideas so how can you possibly ease back on your hours… The work has to get done!
  • ​There aren’t enough hours in the day to sit down and figure out how to make the business run better—where do you even start? 
  • ​And honestly… You are creative, which means you live and breathe what you do. It comes from a passion from within… Can ANY creative person really shut off at the end of the day and NOT think about their work??
“Being a creative is far beyond what we do; it’s who we are, 24/7/365. We don’t turn off our creativity at 5pm or turn it on at 7am”.

What If There Was a Better Way to Stay In Your Zone of Genius & Bring In Incredible Top-Tier Clientele Without Running Yourself Ragged?

I’m Melissa Galt.

I’ve spent 25 years growing my own creative business to amazing new heights by doing what I love, working with clients that I want to work with, and having enough time for my personal passions and travel.

Which is why….

I wrote this book for you.

I understand the highs and lows of being a creative professional. I know all too well the struggle of working 70+ hours a week, and pushing yourself towards burnout and being driven only by that passion in your soul for what you do.

I know because I had reached that point and I knew something had to change, but I didn’t know what…

My answer came one Sunday night 20 years ago….

In the early stages of growing my creative business practice, I was saying “yes” to every potential client that came my way and in just 18 months I was earning six figures.

My business doubled every year for the next five years, but there was one huge problem.

The reason my business was growing so much was that I was still saying yes to every prospective client. I was caught in a trap of wanting to “help” everyone. And while I hired an assistant and a part-time intern, I was still working nearly 70-hour weeks and had totally sacrificed my life to my business. My life was my business. Balance was nonexistent.

But on this one particular Sunday, I was feeling frustrated at having to work again and pissed off that there wasn’t a better way. I stomped downstairs to my office. I yanked open the file drawer for my client files and grabbed an armload of them, and dumped them on a nearby table.

I stood there staring at forty client folders. I didn’t know what I was looking for, but I knew something had to change.

And then the answer came….
I realized that 20% of my clients were delivering 80% of my revenues while the other 80% were delivering just 20%...
I set aside 8 client folders of my TOP clients. My absolute favorite people to work with. The clients that trusted me, paid quickly, and were the most fun to work with.

And it dawned on me… Those were my IDEAL clients.

That was the first step in developing what I now call my Affluent Client Attraction Method.

Since using this method I have consistently doubled and tripled my annual revenue and designed a business around my life.

But it hasn’t only impacted my business...

Here are a few of my students' success stories…

"I Tripled My
Revenue…"

“Thanks to her industry knowledge and connections, I’m outsourcing tasks I never even realized I could. My revenue has tripled working 40-50 hours as opposed to 100+! She’s completely changed the way I communicate my value, helping me book bigger, more profitable projects with clients I actually enjoy working with.”


ERIN HASKELL,
DESIGN FOR THE PPL
SPOKANE, WA

"Tripled my consultation fee & increased my design rates…"

“When I met Melissa I felt stuck at low rates and I was working really hard.
Melissa showed me how to work smarter and focus more on my ideal clients. I’ve learned to take time off for fun and feel more in control. She’s taught me to stay in my Zone of Genius and hire assistance for the parts of my business that used to overwhelm me. My business is growing and I can’t wait to see what’s next!”

MEGAN SIASON
M STUDIO INTERIOR DESIGN
SAN DIEGO, CA

"Doubled my revenue without working 2x harder…"

“With the help of Melissa's industry expertise and cut-to-the-chase approach, I've doubled my revenue without working 2x harder, and I no longer feel like I'm hiding in my business! I know what I need to prioritize to grow my profits, and I finally feel like I’m showing up with a level of confidence that matches my credibility.”

CURNYN,
SNC INTERIORS
ATLANTA, GA
Your straight-forward can-do attitude helped me understand concepts quickly and kept me focused on what my potential was. 

The business documents you shared from your own files immediately became tools I could use - which saved significant time and learning in building my own. 

The greatest benefit from our time together was being able to identify my target audience and how to focus my marketing and language to them as clients. Thank you for your belief in me and helping me reach my business goals!

Before Melissa, I was the poster child for workaholism and flying by the seat of my pants.

What I loved most about working with Melissa was I always felt like I had her FULL attention. She delivered potential solutions that I could implement right away.

She helped me better define my client process and totally revamped how I write project proposals.

In only 8 months, we’ve grown from just me to adding 5 employees.

We took our first family vacation in forever and I make it home by 6 pm every night.

On a daily basis, I ask myself: What would Melissa do? I’m in love with my business again!
- Andrea
I consider Melissa truly my Guardian Angel in my business. She is the tough love I need to move forward. I have a tendency to get caught in analysis paralysis and Melissa's no BS coaching keeps me moving forward.

Knowing she's there each week means I am going to get support, celebration, a kick in the pants as needed, proven strategy and a course correction when I get distracted. Those bright shiny opportunities are everywhere!

I share her wisdom and expertise with my team and it saves us time and keeps us focused on our goals.

I started working with Melissa because I was feeling overwhelmed by the size of the projects I was working on. It was hard for me to get organized and keep up with all of the details.

Her timeline process made it much simpler and I now create deadlines for every project even when it's 12-24 months out.

 I'm also better about getting testimonials and being able to finish each project before the client takes over. Melissa made business fun again and I got back time for family.

Before working with Melissa, I was really just running around listening to all this different advice about what to do with my business, how to market myself, etc. It wasn't working at all.

I was frustrated with my business, depressed, and lost a lot of confidence in myself and my talent. What I got most from her was clarity and a solid plan of action that was tailored to me and my business. 

She gave 1000% unfiltered advice and guidance. No BS. Good, bad or ugly, she was open and honest. I can't tell you how much that helped snap me out of my depression and into action.
