From HR to Entrepreneur: Mid-Career Success Story!

Melanie Smith runs TWO businesses simultaneously: A Recruiting & Staffing Agency (TRG) A Coaching & Consulting Business AND she is finishing her undergrad degree. AND she is a mom. If anyone had an excuse to say "I don't have time," it was Melanie. But she joined the Classy Career Girl® Career Coach Certification anyway. Why? Because she needed structure to stop the overwhelm. Before certification: She was "serving everyone" and felt scattered between her two businesses. After certification: She has a clear "Recruiting Lane" and a "Coaching Lane." She uses the 90-day planning method to manage her time and has successfully launched sold-out VIP days. Melanie's advice? "We have a lot of issues with 'starting over,' but when I really look at it... you get to take all that experience with you and turn it into purpose." Don't let "busy" keep you from "fulfilled." Congratulations on your graduation, Melanie! We are so proud to have you representing CCG in Turks and Caicos! To learn more visit:
