We discuss:

[02:04] Melissa shares about her defining moment.
[03:13] At a very young age, she was informed of the power of the stage and the power of being given any stage.
[04:21] By showing up and being willing to be on a stage, you can really make a difference.
[07:19] When she wrote her first book she didn’t know what it took to have a bestseller so she spent a year in a mastermind group. She learned a lot about what not to do.
[09:20] You really have to start with the end in mind before you do anything. You need an easy filtration system to be able to say yes or no.
[10:36] As entrepreneurs, we get excited because we are creators naturally. We need an accurate strategy that will work.
[11:29] Your first book should be what you talk about all day every day.
[11:57] Codes of Longevity was a legacy project for Melissa.
[13:21] Often entrepreneurs are so busy working in their business that they desire to scale their business but they are too in the daily interactions and in the trenches.
[14:40] Own your zone of genius. Be excellent at what is in your heart and speak to you the loudest and connect in these powerful collectives that you amplify their genius and they amplify yours.
[16:21] There is this ongoing illusion of lack. Our very innate design is limitless potential and abundance.
[17:49] Just sit in yourself honestly and fully, listen, plugin, and show up and be you.
[19:32] Tap into, harness, and express the true limitless potential that is within you.
[22:43] What would happen if we all started telling ourselves and each other a new story?
[24:57] Go back to your why.
[27:37] She had 25 leading minds each write a chapter of the book.
[29:16] Everyone bumps up against themselves when they are being asked to grow. There is always resistance.
[29:57] A code is a piece of information that is absolutely essential in the expression of the topic.
[30:46] As creators we think we have to have it all figured out.
[33:51] Your book should be a year-long strategy.
[36:37] She wants the right experts in the right topics to come into her collective and really shine and share. It is about truly building a collective that gives and receives.
[39:39] Whatever you choose to do let it not be from the side of fear and lack. Let it be out of enthusiasm and excitement.
[40:22] Align with the right energy and intention and you will rapidly catapult in ways beyond what strategies are going to do for you.
