Hi, I'm Melina I've been on a roller coaster when it comes to sales and growing my business. I embarked on my business journey in 2004 as a Marketing Coach – back in the day when coaching was in its infancy. Within 8 weeks, whilst working full time and bringing up a 2-year-old, I’d enrolled my first client. I quit my job.
I ticked over for several years but the big success I dreamed of was elusive. 5 years in I recognised I was playing small, so I invested in several high-level mentoring programmes.
My business took off – within 2 years I went from £13,512 to £111,533.
I'd made it. Yet I still felt unfulfilled. My “not enough” story still played out, I felt like a fraud, I kept slamming on the brakes and half the time I wanted to curl up on the sofa and have the world stop.
I’d worked so hard, achieved my dreams yet it didn’t give me what I craved.
How could I continue to teach people how to sell and make more money when it hadn’t given me what I longed for? I stopped teaching sales, I retired all my online programmes and stopped marketing. I went on a journey of discovery. It was a time of frustration, beauty, messiness, adventure, bliss, angst, excitement, hopelessness, joy and every other emotion all rolled into one! But in that time of exploring, allowing and accepting, I came home to myself. I guess you could say I had a spiritual awakening – one that took 3 years!
From there, I went on to create a unique blend of sales and marketing that integrated practical, numbers-based, masculine sales systems and processes, with the more intuitive, intangible, feminine realm of spiritual transformation.
Sacred Selling was born.
