With the Girl Boss Marketplace you don’t have to be a lonely small business owner anymore. We created this program to set you up for long-term marketing success and connect you with a supportive community of like-minded women entrepreneurs.Â
Together, we are supporting each other in the trenches both online and in-person to promote our passions and cheer each other on to achieve our biggest business dreams.

“I made well over $600 in sales and had several inquiries about private bookings, parties, classes and events from participating in the Girl Boss Marketplace in 2022! I also learned so much in the process what I could do better to continue to increase my opportunities during any pop up event I am apart of. I had so much fun working with Coach Melissa, she really pushed me out of my comfort zone and it paid off! I have signed up to be a part of the marketplace again in 2023 and can’t wait to see all the value the added group coaching program will create for my growing business.”

“The Girl Boss Marketplace opened me to so many new opportunities that I can continue to grow my business. I learned a lot too – I noticed that my customers were so diverse, so I definitely know my jewelry attracts all ages and can market my pieces that way in the future.
I also had several local business owners with storefronts ask to collaborate with me. That got me a little emotional. I was definitely not expecting that! It has now given me so many new ideas. None of this would have happened if I didn’t cross Coach Melissa’s path.
My confidence from the morning of the marketplace went from zero to the moon by the end. Thank you, thank you!!”
