(and I know all the good bits to look for)
I love nothing more than getting stuck into the in’s and out’s of equine business.
(and I know all the good bits to look for)
HI, I’M MELODY SEMMLER!
Horse girl since I was eleven, I live, breathe and dream in horse talk
Geeks out over anything to do with horse business
Will probably trick you into believing in yourself
Have a podcast called ‘Horse Business Advice’
May have an unhealthy addiction to collecting saddlepads
Likely to push you off the cliff and yell at you to build yourself a parachute on the way down.
Wait ? Push me off a cliff ?
Wait ?
Push me off a cliff ?
My approach to business is a combination of understanding, empathy and nurturing, with a side dash of not taking any bullshit, giving a firm ass-kicking, all the while, waving my pom poms for you cheerleader style.
I’m a ‘fly by the seat of my pants’ girl, somehow twisted in with a bit of ‘let’s plan the sh%t outta this’. So. Figure that out…
It’s kinda like salted caramel. The best of both sweet and sour all rolled in together.
I haven’t been a business coach forever though …
I haven’t been a business coach forever though …
I spent over 16 years in ‘corporate land’ working in the marketing / branding / design / communications space, and I learned a thing or twenty being part of that life. (One of those things is I did not like to conform and follow stupid rules… so running my own business suits me best.)
With a graphic design and communication background, I’ve been able to test a whole swag of strategies and see the evolution of marketing from back when I started, to where it is today.
When I started my own business, it was way harder than I first imagined. I was alone, had to do EVERYTHING myself, and I was lost more than I was found.
I recall many a night laying awake thinking about how badly things were going, how sick it made me feel, and dreading the morning, because it would all start over again.
Then one day I decided to just
‘take the damn action’
I decided to stop talking about what I should do, and actually DO IT! To stop questioning everything I did, stop needing everyone to approve, stop wanting to please everyone.
…and she lived happily ever after.
No actually, she still has ups and downs but things are a helluva lot better these days…
And I want to share that all with you.
SO why exactly should you work with me?
I’m passionate about your business, I’m going to jump in with enthusiasm, cheer for you, support you, listen to you, and celebrate each and every win with you.
I truly believe that with the right connections, magic can, and WILL happen with your business.
LET'S GET THIS RELATIONSHIP STARTED!
