About Melissa

You're in the right place if:

You’re an in-demand business owner, service provider, or coach. You’re working with 1:1 clients and oh-so-ready to scale your business but you already feel maxed out.

Sound familiar? You're not alone!

Hey there!

I’m Melissa Ingold.

I’m all about helping business owners simplify and streamline their businesses, set up the right processes & systems, and create & sell products so they can scale with ease and finally do less + make more.

(All without saying yes to even more clients, more work or more hours in front of their damn laptops. #thankgoodness)

From setting up the right systems and processes to creating & selling products, to hiring stellar support, I’m obsessed with helping women entrepreneurs create the life and business of their dreams.

Here’s what I know...

Most successful service providers hit a crossroads a few years into their business.

They’re fully booked and making fabulous money, but they’re tapped out.
They want to scale, to create recurring revenue and to say “yes” to new opportunities and create new offers...but they just don’t have the time, energy or bandwidth.
They love their work, but they’re exhausted. And they can’t figure out how to make more money without more work.
It seems like there’s no way out of the madness. It’s outrageously challenging, and while they keep telling themselves they’ll “figure out it out eventually,” the truth is, they don’t.
They just want business to feel easier. Simpler. And they want to somehow make lots more money, without magically creating more hours in the day.

But how and with what army?? I totally get it. I went from a burnt-out copywriter to a fulfilled, multiple 6-figure-earning business owner in the span of a few years.

Here’s my story.

I've been delegating in my business since 2006 when I hired my very first virtual assistant. But before that? I started off just like you.

I was running a business writing copy for clients, while also juggling the demands of a home and family. Every minute of my time was booked up in service to others.
I was exhausted, stressed out, and depressed about my life (or lack of).
I started my business with big dreams...make lots of money, have fun, and live and work on my own schedule.

But what I had created was just another version of the work-eat-sleep, work-eat-sleep, work-eat-sleep life that I was trying to escape.

And the only solution that I could see to avoid selling out and getting a job…was to work more. Take on more clients. Work faster. Work harder. Anything to bridge the gap between the business I had and the one I wanted.

What I didn’t realize at the time, was that no matter how hard I worked, and how many more clients I squeezed into my schedule – I still only had 24 hours in a day, and I couldn’t possibly work them all.

What a slap in the face that was. My mind was always saying things like:

Hmm...

Is this starting to sound familiar? If you're like most people I talk to, you can relate.

But then, after hitting rock bottom, I turned it all around in a very short amount of time. What’s my “big” secret?

After I did that, my business went through a powerful, life-changing shift. Over time, I was able to entirely ditch the “do more, work harder” mentality. And I started to invest in even more processes, systems and support I desperately needed.

And my business only continued to grow–and sell–with or without me.

As for me, personally? Well, I got to focus on doing what I love best in my business and spending time with the people, places and things I love most in my life.

But I get it if right now you’re super excited by the idea of having more freedom in your schedule and doing more creative work in your business–yet somewhere in the back of your mind you’re thinking, “But I don’t know how.”

That’s why I’ve made it my mission to break down this intimidating process of “scaling up” into a simple, actionable process anybody can follow.

Because let me be clear: Scaling up to do less & make more isn’t some magical thing only I can do. I’ve taught thousands how to do this, and I’d love to help you, too!

And What Makes Me Different?

I believe in energy and strategy.

Don’t get me wrong: I love meditation (and colorful meditation cushions), but I also know mindset is only one piece of the puzzle. You have to take action, put systems in place, and create and sell. And I want to make that part as easy as possible for you.

I’ve transformed from a burnt out, maxed out copywriter to a multiple 6-figure business owner. And if you’re ready to go from a tapped-out one-woman show to fully supported business owner, I’m here to break it down for you.
