Melanie, CEO of Defining Moments Publishing, is a top leadership expert, speaker and author who's guided millions to monetize their purpose. I started my first business when I was 18 years old. I have made some very expensive mistakes as a leader over the years. I reached a point where I had taken my company as far as I could as a solopreneur working from home. So, I began to look for experts, leaders or managers who could help take the business to the next level.
