"Dream versus Reality"
Becoming a business owner, is it what you had hoped it would be?
It is safe to say that most people go into business for two reasons: More Money and More Freedom. The dream is to be in control of all the decisions, to be able to set your own hours, answer to no one, make the income you desire, and to create something unique that works for "you." Here is the reality; can you relate? "I'm overworked, 24/7, I cannot take a sick day, let alone a vacation, everyone comes to me with their problems, I have to do it all in order for it not only to get done , but to be done right, money is good, but I'm not sure it's all worth it."
Does any of this sound familiar?
If so, then it is time for a mindset change, you need to become a Strategic Business Owner. Here the focus shifts to the vision, the goals and to creating and implementing systems and processes that unleash the true potential of the business, promote growth and lead to the freedom and income you dream about. Our Proven, Powerful, Guaranteed, Business Coaching provide the environment for the realization of your dreams not only in business, but in life as well.

Strategic Mindset Quarter One
- My favorite moment of the Q1 workshop was when everyone was allowed to share and give suggestions to one another on how to handle certain issues in their business.
A. Chisholm
- It was a very good experience for me although it did make me get out of my shallow comfort zone. Melanie is a person who truly cares for the well being of others, both in their business and personal life. I can't express in words how grateful I am to you!
S. DeVary
- My favorite moment of the Q1 workshop was thinking through things because I had time to focus and having the opportunity to share openly with the group.
A. Coon
Leadership within the Classroom
- I liked how it involved everyone. It was also good to see "leader" & "teacher" differentiated and then see how to be an effective teacher, one must also be an effective leader.
- Good refresher course. Loved the sharing.
- I enjoyed this workshop; it showed me that when I am out of my comfort zone it's ok. You pulled things out of me today that I didn't think I had in me. Thanks!
- I enjoyed all of the helpful information given, and it was easily presented and understood. I feel I can implement so many of the things you taught us in my classroom.
- I enjoyed developing my vision for teaching and hearing the visions from my fellow teachers.
- Sharing ideas with the team was great!
- I liked gaining information about classroom management, and actually walking away with a completed task: my classroom vision.
- The group discussions and being able to learn from others was a great joy. I like how the workshop was broken into small steps. Writing my vision was easier than I thought it would be!
- Enjoyed being able to discuss issues and strategies with my peers. The tools were helpful and practical for implementation in my classroom. Looking forward to a great year!
- In the beginning, I thought writing down "my vision" was going to be HARD. However, it really made me "think outside the box" and I enjoyed it tremendously. GREAT TIME!
- The activities and discussions with other teachers were very helpful. This workshop helped me realize that I am a "Teacher-Empowered Classroom."
- The workbooks are a great asset with valuable information. I found the most difficulty in writing out my goals. This workshop has been an eye opener as to how I need to change some things.
- Having the time to focus on writing down my vision was very helpful. I am glad to have had this time to recognize the need for changes this year.
- My favorite part was all that we learned and writing our visions. I really enjoyed it and learned alot.
- How we shared our visions was neat and productive. You are one of a very few presenters who actually finished their workshop without rushing us through it. Thank you!
- I am excited about the new strategies and goals for my classroom. The interactions with and opinions of others were very beneficial.

| Meet Coach Melanie
|
|
|
 As a graduate of Wilmington University and successful entrepreneur, Melanie D. Wilson, also armed with 19 years of teaching experience, brings a new dynamic to the Business Coaching Industry. Melanie has filled numerous professional roles prior to pursuing her entrepreneurial dreams at which time she founded and operated a school of equine studies. Throughout her professional career, Melanie has held management positions in payroll, human resources, accounting, marketing, business development, operations and even served as the VP for a large mechanical contracting firm; but, the height of her career was reached when she opened her school of equine studies in Oxford, PA. As the founder of this unique program, Melanie performed all the typical roles of a business owner while mastering the art of process development that ultimately became the foundation for the program. Processes were not only used for the execution of the training, but also to provide direction to all clients as to how to start and run a successful business of their own. Students were coached thru a process that included the following:
- technical aspect of the discipline being studied
- business planning
- strategic planning
- market analysis
- marketing, including layout and design of all business materials
- legal, accounting and licensing
- short term and long term goal setting
Melanie, as an inspiration to the local equine community, was also sought out by a local college as an industry expert and ultimately ended up creating a college accredited equine program in which Melanie was directly responsible for the development of the curriculum. Melanie was also responsible for the selection and training of the course instructors and was an instructor herself.
Sadly, in 2007, Melanie was forced to undergo major back surgery and had to give up her dream in the equine industry.
Now, fully recovered, Melanie is energized by the opportunity to give back to the business community that has blessed her life in so many ways. The multitude of experiences, challenges and hurtles have enabled a tremendous amount of personal and professional growth that can now be shared with all members of the business community. As a remarkable leader and motivator, Melanie is sure to have a Positive Impact on the professional and personal lives of business owners, professionals and executives just like you.

| The Outlook is now very promising! I now only do things I need to and have hired an administrative assistant to do the others. In the first year, with the help of The Growth Coach, we increased production by 38% over the prior year. Now, production has increased two-fold. In streamlining our processes and implementing the marketing plan I developed during my Growth Coach session, the outlook is very promising.

| Confidence to Begin Thinking Like a CEO The concepts learned have given me the confidence to begin thinking like a CEO. I have implemented processes and standards that have allowed my organization to run more smoothly. This has allowed me to “get out of the details” and focus on the more important issues. Our revenues are up 30% while our expenses have remained steady. This has allowed our profitability to increase nicely. Before beginning the program, I was working at least 2 hours every evening following dinner. I would then work at least 4 – 6 hours on Saturday and sometimes Sunday. Since I started the program I have not worked a single weekend and only rarely during the evenings.

WINCEF: Women in Networking Communication & Education Force
Meets the 3rd Thursday of each month at Espresso & Ice in Dover from 5:30-7:30
Our main goal is to establish a very powerful group of female business professionals: owners, executives, managers, employees and education professionals, for a brand new group forming with an innovative approach to networking.
The purpose of this force is to bring women in business and women in leadership roles together for networking, but in addition, will also have a focus on communication and education to create a dynamic and dominant female presence in the business industry.
Each meeting will provide a specific focus on a relevant topic; facilitator will engage the group in discussions to share and educate the woman in best practices, as well as challenges. This will promote personal and professional growth and enable the women to become more effective, productive and strategic in their daily role.
Melanie Wilson, a WBE certified business and executive coach, along with Carolyn Humphrey and Gretchen Tillman, will facilitate and coordinate each event. Solid strategies will be taught to implement in the workplace. This group is not just women getting together to share what they do, but women on a mission to impact the business world at a whole new level.
