She's been honored by the National Council of American Executives at the top one percent of U.S. executives in both 2015 and 2016, has been featured on the cover of Evolution Magazine, all kinds of cool stuff. Melissa, welcome to the show. Melissa Krivachek: Thanks Rob for having me. Robert Plank: I know literally nothing at all about what it is that you do, so what is it that you do? Melissa Krivachek: I love helping people not only tap into their passion but monetize it and help them realize, you can have everything you want all at the same time, love, success, happiness, money, and clients. Robert Plank: That's a big promise. How do you do it? Melissa Krivachek: Well, you have to focus on one area at a time, so everyone comes to me for sales. The reality is they think they want sales, and they ultimately do want sales. The thing that's holding them back is something in their personal life from keeping them moving towards the direction of whatever their goal might be, if it's more money for the new house, the new car, whatever that is. I'll give you can example. I've got a client in Canada. She had initiated a divorce with her husband. As a result, he committed suicide. Every sales decision she made was based on his approval, except he wasn't alive to give her his approval. Now after four months of working together, she's made well over a hundred thousand dollars. She's sold all of his assets because she held onto them like they were going to make or break her. She's relaunched both of her companies, and she's traveling the world. Now she doesn't have a home base, which is amazing. I've had clients have all kinds of different problems in their personal life, which carries into their professional life. The thing that they're always trying to solve is how do we get more clients, how do we get more sales, how do we drive revenue. Robert Plank: You're going after the underlying causes, like a therapist or life coach almost. Melissa Krivachek: I'm not a therapist. I have a background in clinical psychology and years and years of sales leadership and management experience, like sixteen years. I love sales. I'm super passionate about it and sort of obsessed. At the end of the day, I know every aspect of my own life that I've changed. I've gone from over three hundred pounds to almost a hundred and ninety pounds, dropping from fifty-seven percent body fat to thirty percent and going from having no money, repossessed car, fifty grand in debt, five maxed out credit cards, six days in jail, and being homeless for thirty-six days, to running a multimillion dollar company over the past seven years. All of this has transpired because you have to do it step by step, and you have to find the underlying causes of what's holding you back from obtaining whatever it is that you want. Robert Plank: Dang. Being in jail, that's pretty scary. How did you get from there to here? What are those steps to fixing all of it? Melissa Krivachek: Well the first thing is just realize what you need to fix. You have a mountain of debt, don't conquer the entire mountain at one time. Do you have tons of weight that you need to lose,
