Overcoming Cancer, Leaving Corporate America, and Building A Scalable Consulting Business as a Fractional COO Turned Growth Strategist For $1M+ Companies

If you’re currently running a coaching or consulting business, and want to impact more clients through creating a reputable online course that will actually help your clients succeed…

…instead of investing your hard-earned money and being burned by scammy “we’ll help you launch an online course using our step-by-step framework” companies who don’t deliver the goods…

Then this is a MUST LISTEN interview.

After decades working in Corporate America, getting (and beating) cancer shocked Thomas Mele into a new career path, running his own consulting business to help business owners strategize and execute the growth of their companies.

Like many of us, Thomas has made a living on a stream of high-paying, 1-on-1 clients.

After reaching a plateau in his own revenue and falling behind on his dream of helping 1,000 business owners to create $1M+/year businesses, Thomas decided to create an online coaching program to walk more clients through his Business Growth Execution System and has enjoyed more impact while maintaining steady income for his own practice even during this global pandemic.

I found this conversation to be very practical and actionable, so I hope you watch below and/or click the podcasting link above to listen in!

Plus, we’re thinking of publishing new interviews like this every Wednesday in 2021, so let us know what types of experts and entrepreneurs you’d like to hear from, and what topics would be most valuable and interesting to you.

Cheers!
