The structured systems and practical guidance have been instrumental in my growth. I’ve gone from feeling unsure about leadership to confidently stepping into the role, and I’ve seen my leadership skills elevate from a five to a solid seven or eight.

I now recognize what’s working and what’s not, and I have the confidence to make better decisions. Tap the Potential has truly empowered me to become a better leader.

Think Like an Owner
Working with Tap the Potential has fundamentally shifted my mindset from simply working in my business to truly thinking like an owner. The individualized approach and consistent support have pushed me to step back and focus on the bigger picture, ensuring that I’m not just running a business but leading it strategically. This coaching experience has been crucial in helping me prioritize working on my business, allowing me to take on a more presidential role with a clear focus on growth and sustainability. The camaraderie within the community and the emphasis on accountability have made me feel supported at every step, empowering me to make decisions with confidence and clarity. I can honestly say that Tap the Potential has transformed the way I think and operate as a business owner.

Work From Your Strengths
I thought I was a good boss. I thought I was a great business woman. But my staff seemed to hate me and my stress level was through the roof. After being with Tap the Potential, I have assembled an A-team staff who works from their strengths, loves their jobs, and has decreased my stress by 90%.

Lead Strategist, Certified Dream Manager and Profit by Design Co-host
Melissa's Bio
Melissa Kay is a Certified Life Coach, Certified Director of Operations and Marketing, and has worked for Tap the Potential since 2019. She served as a corporate Director of Operations for 18 years. Lovingly referred to as “a force of nature” Melissa is always up for a challenge and turns her biggest obstacles into opportunities. Melissa opened an Etsy shop in 2012, and within nine months grew the business to a top 1% worldwide shop, ranking 1779 of 2.5 million shops! Yet she quickly fell into the survival trap, working seven days a week, spending sleepless nights thinking about payroll, marketing, the never-ending task list, and spending little time with family and friends. She sought after the sweet spot of her business, and made another pivot.
Recognizing the need of small business owners to free up their time and develop systems for their business, she embraced the role of a business strategist. It became her burning desire to help entrepreneurs break free from the struggle of the business that keeps them from enjoying what matters most. As a Certified Pumpkin Plan Strategist, she helps business owners to identify their vision and strategy to break out of the survival trap to succeed personally and professionally. Melissa loves Pumpkin Planning so much that she also trains strategists for Pumpkin Plan Your Biz.
Melissa thrives in helping leaders see their potential, think outside of the box, and dream big! Her training as a Chief Question Officer empowers her to bring out the best thinking, collaboration, action, and results using the Q-Work Approach, a system that optimizes engagement, productivity, communication, collaboration, innovation, and results for individuals, teams, and organizations.
Her favorite thing about working with Tap the Potential is hearing testimonials from our clients sharing how our Better Business, Better Life coaching program has helped them show up better in life and with their families. (And getting to work with the best.team.ever.)!

Small Business Coaching FAQs
Who is this for?
How long do I have to commit?
Changing the trajectory of a business takes time. While most participants see dramatic gains in the first 90 days, our custom coaching plan takes 12 months to experience transformation. Over 80% of our clients choose to ascend to higher levels of our program after their first 12 months with us.
What’s the small business coaching format?
Our Better Business Better Life program meets in a small group format, consisting of no more than 4 - 11 members in each group. In addition to your small group meetings, we also have one-on-one profit meetings, goal-planning sessions, and spot coaching meetings available.
How often do we meet?
How long before I see results in my small business?
Most of our coaching participants see results in the first 90 days. But the big changes happen over time. And that’s why we create 12-month custom coaching plans with you.
Imagine having an extra 10 hours a week!
You might chuckle at the idea of that, but I want to assure you we make that happen.
Time management is one of the first things that we focus on. We help you identify your $10,000 in our activities and help you set boundaries on what you should be saying no to, as well as help your team create those systems, so you easily get back 10 hours a week or more.
We have many business owners within six months who are easily able to not only shave 10 hours, but have a short work week, possibly even that 25 hour work week.
So it is possible.
Imagine what would you do if you could pay yourself an additional $50,000 this year.
$50,000 may sound unattainable, but I can assure you it happens all the time.
One of the first things we do when you join our Better Business, Better Life Program is we say, “hey, let's make some magic wand goals.”
Recently one of our businesses that joined has 3 owners. They said they EACH would love to double their pay for the year. Then they said, “but there’s no way this can happen. We actually exceeded that goal with them within 12 months!!
So it can be done and it's incredible and we teach you how to profit first your business. So it's achievable.
Imagine what you would do if you ended work at five every day.
We challenge our clients to end work before five and they do. They shut those notifications off on their phone and are done and we will show you exactly how to do that, it's very achievable.
Imagine if you had an extra week of vacation.
One of our clients recently booked a trip to Italy! She is going to be able to fully unplug because we have supported her in building a team that can take care of things in her absence.
Imagine what's possible if you're working a 25-hour work week?
Time management is one of the biggest struggles our clients have.
Remember, limits force innovation and creativity.
When you work with Melissa Kay, our lead strategist and Chief Dream Officer. She will get you to open your calendar and share it with her on screen. She will support you in cutting hours off your weekly schedule. We have lots of episodes about this on the Profit by Design podcast. In fact, our entire team strives to stick to 25 hours per week.
