No fancy setup. No plan. One take, every time. Her first year she made $126,000. Her courses now bring in $130,000 to $150,000 a month. I sat down with Melissa to talk about how she built Insurance Exam Queen from nothing, but what I didn't expect was how little of the conversation would actually be about tactics. Melissa is clear that the most important thing she did to build her business was internal work, not funnels, not email sequences, not better lighting. She talks about hiring from guilt, creating offers from desperation and watching them attract desperate clients, and how she eventually figured out that the energy you're in when you build something leaves an imprint on everything that comes from it. We did get into the practical side too. Her YouTube channel sits at 103,000 subscribers and drives almost all her top-of-funnel traffic. Her Facebook study group has 22,000 members who actively sell her course for her without being paid. She has 3,400 five-star reviews. And we walked through an eight-email welcome sequence together and worked out how it would fit her audience. Melissa is one of those guests who makes you think differently about what the work actually is. I think you'll enjoy this one.
