#412: The Unicorns Series: Scrubbing In, Saving Lives, AND Making 200k with Mel Thacker
Make Money as a Life Coach®Show Notes
What does it take to become the kind of person who creates extraordinary results? In this episode, I'm joined by my client Mel Thacker, a surgeon, coach, author, speaker, and entrepreneur who grew from just over $20k to a multiple six-figure coaching business. We talk about the identity shifts that happened along the way and what it has meant for Mel to build a career that holds all the different ways she wants to contribute.
Mel shares how learning to work with herself through fear, anxiety, and high-pressure situations has shaped both her work as a surgeon and the way she approaches entrepreneurship. We also explore how she uses coaching spaces, evaluates her own work, and continually turns what she learns into ideas that are uniquely hers.
You'll also hear what Mel believes has contributed most to the results she has created, including immersion, implementation, service, and a deep connection to the work she wants to put into the world. This conversation is a powerful look at what becomes possible when you trust your own path, keep developing your voice, and let joy fuel the way you show up.

What kind of business are you actually building at 200k? In this episode, I'm breaking down the different ways coaches create a 200k business and why the path forward depends on more than revenue alone. I share how business model, leverage, skill development, and the way you spend your time all shape what growth looks like at this level.
What does it actually take to go from wondering whether your coaching business will work to crossing $200k? In this episode, I sit down with my client Sophia Hyde to unpack her journey from making $5,000 in 2021 to becoming our newest 200k earner. We talk about the thinking, decisions, and persistence that helped her build a business around refusing to choose between her work, her family, and herself.
What if you could take full responsibility for your success and still see the miracle in how you got there? In this episode, I'm exploring what I call miraculous decisions and why I believe both can be true. You can own every choice, investment, risk, and hour of work that created your results while also recognizing how extraordinary some of those decisions and opportunities were.
What makes someone choose you when they have plenty of other coaches to choose from? In this episode, I'm exploring the role authority plays in selling, visibility, and standing out in a crowded industry. I share why the difference is often not the perfect words, strategy, or sales script, but something you build internally through the way you lead yourself and your business.
Are you showing up as the kind of client you want to attract? In this episode, I'm exploring what I call the gold standard of client behavior and why becoming a better coach, entrepreneur, and leader also means becoming a better student. I share how the way you participate in other people's spaces can reveal a lot about the kind of clientele you are creating in your own business.
