meet michele & Learn her coaching philosophy

Coaching entrepreneurs to gain the confidence to charge based on the value they provide their clients and feel worthy of success has become my purpose at The Savvy Mind. It's so important to me, because this was me . . . I was one of those solopreneurs who never believed I could be rich & successful because that dream always belonged to someone else.  

Throughout my career I started seven different companies, none of which were very successful. I never knew why not because I was smart and good with clients. But it never bothered me much because mine was always a second income. So it was no big deal.  

When my life exploded it became a very big deal.  At age 60 I found myself divorced, after 37 years of marriage, to an alcoholic. In the settlement I got the house, the dog, and the bills, but I didn't have any way of generating enough money to make the house payment. I didn't know what to do, and desperation set in pretty quickly.

That's when I started trying everything and anything I could think of. I knew something had to change, but I couldn't figure out what. I advertised on Facebook., learned social media, made videos, even tried some new sales techniques. All good strategies . . . but nothing made a difference and I was out of ideas.

In desperation I began researching success-ability. I wanted to figure out why I couldn't make enough money even thought I was smart and clients loved my work. What I learned changed my life.

When I discovered that 80% of your success depends on what you think and believe (mindset), and only 20% depends on the information you have, it all made sense. Because my mindset sucked. 

From grade school on, I knew my family struggled financially. My mom mistakenly wore that like a badge of honor and I learned to believe that scarcity was the norm. Success and abundance were never discussed in my household. It was never part of our culture but this mindset shaped my life from that time on.  

So now I realized that the real problem was me, and started learning how to let go of all that old programming and embrace a new success mindset. 

I learned the difference between knowing and believing and started approaching my business from a new perspective. And that's when my life began shifting. 

As my business began to grow I noticed a thread other business owners. Lacking confidence and feeling unworthy of success are at epidemic levels. It doesn't matter how smart you are, what industry you're in, or where you're located. This is a common struggle for all of us. 

So using the techniques I used for myself and tested with other entrepreneurs, I developed programs that I know creates true long-term transformation. I know that if I can change 30 years of negative habits and beliefs for myself, I can help you live a beautiful, rich, successful life too. That very first ripple you create makes a powerful impact for you and the ones you love. Call me and let's see if we can find a program that s a good fit for you.

Warmly,

Michele Burghardt
