The Success Connections Coaches
Melanie Benson Strick
President and Founder, Success Connections, Inc.
Million Dollar Lifestyle Business Coach
Melanie Benson Strick is known as The Million Dollar Lifestyle Business Coach because she knows first-hand how to build a successful, thriving, freedom-based company with her secret weapon -- LEVERAGE. With over 12 years in corporate America and eight years as a business owner, Melanie works exclusively with entrepreneurs who are ready for a “sustainable” lifestyle business.
After her first two years running her own company, Melanie quickly realized that most entrepreneurs create a JOB, rather than a company. They position themselves to work harder than they ever imagined – with minimal results. Frustrated and overwhelmed, they get stuck and never actually experience the FREEDOM or the financial success that they crave.
Melanie’s clients, who are typically coaches, consultants, authors, speakers, trainers, service professionals and information marketers, average a 172% revenue increase while creating more time for living their dream lifestyle. She does this through her revolutionary mentoring programs, easy to follow systems, and proven, profit-generating tools that cause her clients to CATAPULT into their dream businesses!
Melanie lives in the Los Angeles area so she can be close to her nieces and the ideal So Cal living! As an avid lifestyle enthusiast she spends her free time in search of the best spas and beaches in the world.
