Leader. Community Builder. Power Partner.
Meet Melissa Snow
Hi! I’m Melissa—a speaker, author, crazy cat mom, and award-winning business coach. I lead a vibrant online group called the Powerful Women Rising Community that provides female entrepreneurs with the support and resources they need for business growth (while having a lot of fun along the way). I’m on a mission to make the path to success smoother and show that everyone has a place in the world of business. If you’ve ever felt like you don’t quite fit the typical mold or doubted your ability to succeed as an entrepreneur, you’ll relate to my story and understand my passion for uplifting women on their entrepreneurial journey.
I BELIEVE THE WORLD IS A BETTER PLACE WHEN WOMEN OWN BUSINESSES
And You Deserve to Succeed On Your Own Terms
I’ve been an entrepreneur for almost ten years, and I’ve learned a LOT during that time. I wasted so much time and energy trying to be who I thought I was supposed to be. I hid my quirkiness, perfected my fake smile, and honed my small talk skills (even though it killed me a little inside each time). I did all the things I thought I was supposed to do – got a fancy website, joined leads groups full of salesy weirdos, and signed up for expensive programs that promised to teach me the exact steps to make a million dollars in 90 seconds (well, not quite, but you know what I mean). When that didn’t work, I paid way too much money for coaches who convinced me that my mindset was the only reason I wasn’t making money, and I tried so hard to think the thoughts I was supposed to think. SPOILER ALERT: None of it worked. If any of this sounds painfully familiar, or you’re just trying to dodge those bullets, you’ve come to the right place.
Some of the most important lessons I learned are that authenticity is the key to success, nobody knows what’s best for your business except YOU, and that intentionally growing real relationships with the right people is the key to consistent business growth.
As the Founder and CEO of Powerful Women Rising, I’m here to help you grow YOUR business YOUR way. I’m not out to be your business guru or pretend I have all the answers. I’m simply here to share what I’ve learned as a successful business owner, show you how to network authentically, empower you to take the next steps, and connect you to a powerful group of supportive women who believe that a rising tide truly does lift all boats.
I’m About:
Authenticity, integrity, genuine connections, Taylor Swift, and iced coffee.
I Don’t Believe In:
Sales sleaze and girl boss fakeness that makes you feel like you need to sanitize your whole body.
You Can Usually Find Me:
Petting cats, hanging with the fam, recording new episodes of the Powerful Women Rising podcast, and laughing at my own jokes.
I Love:
Guiding women to embrace their authenticity and giving them the tools and resources they need to succeed in business while staying true to themselves. And also popcorn.
I empower female entrepreneurs to increase their earnings by cultivating genuine business relationships and embracing their authentic selves - WITHOUT adhering to the conventional success playbook!
