After completing Fertile Imagination to Networking Success, you will have:

A powerful set of frameworks utilized by world-class industry leaders, designed to enhance your capacity to engage and influence high-profile contacts.
These frameworks leverage memorable stories and potent questions, enabling you to access valuable wisdom and obtain the blueprints necessary to accelerate your goals.

A dynamic approach to personal leadership to navigate the emotional challenges of both motherhood and entrepreneurship.
This approach not only increases your energy and capacity in both realms but also cultivates the endurance and enthusiasm required to attract top prospective partners/clients in your field.

Together, these resources empower you to think expansively, address emerging business challenges swiftly, and maintain a sense of calm and poise throughout the process. Additionally, they facilitate innovation, setting you apart from the competition.

Before working with Melissa, I struggled with investing in myself and doubted the success of other programs. Melissa pushed me out of my comfort zone, which was exactly what I needed. Her program uniquely integrates being a mom and a business owner, acknowledging the tug and pull between the two roles.

Hi I’m Melissa Llarena

Bestselling author of Fertile Imagination and podcast host of the Mom Founder Imagination Hub.

Over 13 years ago, on my first day back from maternity leave with my firstborn, I turned in my resignation. I had requested a one-day-a-week work-from-home arrangement, but it was DENIED.

That closed the door to a conventional corporate career. If I wanted flexibility to start and grow my family, I needed to make a change. This led me to turn to intentional networking as the quickest path to my entrepreneurial success.

As a mom of three who has had to take breaks or adjust my pace along the way, knowing how to intentionally network is why I haven’t had to settle or dilute my business and mom life ambitions.

My intentional networking skills have helped me land PR in publications like the Wall Street Journal, CNBC, and Business Insider without prior contacts.

The same networking skills are why my podcast guest list includes the Who’s Who of entrepreneurship and are the answer to “how I have done it is” by creating my own Rolodex from some of the world's most influential figures, including Suzy Batiz, Gary Vaynerchuk and others.

Based on my experiences, I've developed a step-by-step method for mom founders to show you how to have meaningful conversations and connect with influential people around the world. This method will help you build your own "Rolodex" of valuable connections, boost your incomestreams, and create a flexible networking strategy.

Through my coaching and Forbes articles, millions have read and learned about how to confidently approach the right people to fast-track their own remarkable successes. Will you let me help you unlock your own potential and have the right conversations that will propel you forward?

I meet Melissa and she pointed me to the direction I needed to go. Melissa has a very rare and unique combination of being humble, but also being direct and transparent and wanting you to succeed. I loved partnering with Melissa because that made me feel safe.

It’s more than I’ve ever imagined that I would achieve in this process. Having boldness and confidence again to reach out and network with people.

I’ve been in and out of sales roles for 15 years and still walked away with SUCH a strong foundation of the specific next steps I need to take in my business.I know I only get one chance to make my first impression. When I go through the work of building my list and reaching out to that list (of both cold and warm leads) having worked with Melissa will allow me to show up fully prepared for those meetings in a way I would have otherwise floundered and focused mainly on myself and the show!

Now’s the time to make networking work for you so that you can create your own business growth opportunities on your mom-friendly terms!
