Podcast Episode 21: Crash and Learn with Melissa Burkheimer

Crash & Learns are where I interview an entrepreneur about a time that they probably don’t want to talk about – a total business failure.

This week, I’m talking with Melissa Burkheimer, a premium sales page designer (and busy mom of 2 boys), for online marketing experts and thought leaders whose launches produce six and seven-figures! {P.S. – she makes my sales pages too!}

Listen in on Episode 21 and you’ll learn

  • How Melissa overcame challenges as a young mom finishing school and deciding how to develop her career
  • That she was able to transition from charging by the hour to a more profitable business model
  • How Melissa started working with James Wedmore
  • Learn how Melissa was able to incorporate her passion, her expertise and her secret talent into a shining business
  • How she built her business without an email list or web presence
  • Melissa’s plans to grow her business in the near future
  • How Melissa has built her business to work around her life instead of living her life around her business

With grit + gratitude,
