Have you ever met someone who seems to "understand" the nature of business? Most importantly; have you met someone who knows how to help you understand yourself and how to maximize your business through that information? Well, Melanie Yost is that type of person!

I have known Melanie for several years, and from our very first encounter I was struck by her ability to "read" a situation. I have been most impressed with how she can understand my perspective, and help me to reach inside of myself to identify sticking points and opportunities. She has a truly unique ability to help people discern what their core values and priorities are, and how they can apply these to their business and their life as a whole!

I confess to being extremely committed to self improvement, and I utilize every opportunity to read the books, listen to the CD's, view the videos, or attend the seminars of all the top names in business performance and self improvement training. Melanie understands these concepts, teachings and principles yet has the rare insight of how to apply the best ones for my personality and how to integrate them into a process that works for me. She has been able to effectively customize processes, and help me to integrate ideas that I could have easily overlooked or not considered into my business and personal life.

A wise man once said, "We are a compilation of the experiences we have had, the books that we have read and the people that we know". I feel extremely blessed by my interactions with Melanie, and consider her one of my trusted advisors.

If you are truly serious about reaching new levels in your business and in your life, then you need to start getting to know Melanie and utilizing the services she has available!

I have been what some would say "ultra-successful" in business for over 20 years and yet there has always been something amiss . . . I worked hard and reaped the rewards, but even after all that, I'd wonder "is this it? I should have a higher purpose than where I am and what I'm doing". Well, with your coaching, I am identifying that purpose and making it happen! From the bottom of my heart, thank you. You are truly a gifted coach!

I was feeling as if I was being pulled in too many directions. I had been running two different home-based businesses. One was beginning to be successful, the other, was not. After talking with Melanie for just a short time, I realized that in order for the success of one business to continue, I had to let the other close. I was feeling a little bit like a failure. I had seen so many others successful at that business. Why couldn't I be successful at it too? I realized, through discussions with Melanie, that it wasn't where my passion was. Just because I was closing one business, it wasn't failure. I learned so many valuable business lessons. So it wasn't failure, it was training!

Once I let go of the one business, I was able to focus on my other business. Since that time, I have rediscovered my passion for this business and it has continued to flourish! What you think about, you bring about! I am continuing to work with Melanie on my business vision, mission, and goals.

Melanie helps you realize your potential, your passion, and assists you in directing your future. Melanie's skills would help current business owners, people thinking about starting a business, stay-at-home mom's whose children are heading off to college and now wonder what to do, or just anyone who feels as if they are in a rut and need a nudge to bet back on the track of life.

Melanie helped me made major advances in my business. She really listened to my concerns and helped me move business into the right direction to achieve the most of my time. She also was extremely helpful in assisting me to realize my strengths and gave my self-confidence the boost that it needed to realize what it means to be a business owner. I was also held accountable for reaching the goals we set. She will very politely tell you what you may not want to hear in order to take things to the next level. I will continue to be a client of Awaken Your Entrepreneur to ensure the success of Organization Direct.
