We’re excited to introduce you to the always interesting and insightful Melissa Lucas . We hope you’ll enjoy our conversation with Melissa below.

Melissa , looking forward to hearing all of your stories today. What do you think matters most in terms of achieving success?

Success is a mixture of failures, self esteem, and discipline. Without failure there is not refinement or reflection. Without self esteem there is no self belief in what you can achieve. Without discipline, you lack the commitment needed to get to where you want to be.

As someone that has given up everything to start a business helping people, I saw a lot of success after so many perceived failures. Losses at the time can seem traumatic and devastating, but in the future those are the things that make us who we need to be to succeed and to thrive. Without growth and self development it can be hard to achieve anything of importance to us. Through failures both in business and in personal life though losses of money, friends, family members I have learned that no loss is without a future reward. And with self belief anything is possible if you think, it can be done.

I was able to achieve a successful business, a podcast, and publishing a book which were all dreams of mine, with just a strong will of self belief and dedication in refining my work and my self. Anyone can do the same, you just need to keep going until you’re done and where you want to be.

Melissa , love having you share your insights with us. Before we ask you more questions, maybe you can take a moment to introduce yourself to our readers who might have missed our earlier conversations?

My name is Melissa Lucas and I’m a Mindest Coach, Entertainment manager , and Author. I started working as a life and business coach in 2013 after some years of deep self improvement and grief. I lost my soulmate to suicide in 2011 and went through severe grief and depression which then lead to me getting into self improvement work with myself. Then later developed a problem to help others find their true self and reach their dreams.

I started online and did a social media campaign that went viral within the first week of launching my business. I have spoken all over the country on purpose and finding a meaningful life. My business is now called Reset to Thrive, after going through a facelift during the pandemic. My prior business was Edge of your Comfort Zone and my book Stepping Out of Your Comfort Zone, all came from ideals and experiences that helped me build my true self and let go of the fears that stopped me from becoming my best self.

I know help people break through their mindset struggles and blocks to become their most powerful self, through neuroscience and habit building techniques I help people learn to thrive and think in the most effective ways. I take one on one clients, do online groups, write books and for magazines.

How’d you build such a strong reputation within your market?

Building a reputation was simple for me, be authentic and share the most valuable things I know would change lives. I did that by building up my speaking career by starting small then eventually getting into large conferences. I shared videos on Instagram and Twitter then eventually wrote a book. I got noticed by sharing my message on Instagram almost instantly , and got invited to join different self improvement groups and conferences.

Any insights you can share with us about how you built up your social media presence?

Social media is all about having a strong message and providing value whether it be for a couple people or thousands. A strong message can be build through writing helping content, thought provoking videos and podcast content that gives people valuable information.
