After finding a cancerous tumor in his bladder larger than a baseball in June 2019 and successfully conquering it within 18 months, Mel began to openly teach his The Affluence Blueprint TM because his cancer journey spotlighted the immediate and urgent need for entrepreneurs to find “financial liberation” and peace of mind if life threw them a curveball.
This is the very process and system he’s used to build his business and more importantly his wealth through business that allowed him to completely shut things down to focus on what’s important.

In a world where canceling is the norm and uncertainty is rising, people are searching for a way to preserve their wellbeing.
Let’s face it, inflation, higher interest rates and increasing costs can put our financial futures at risk and along with it, our personal wellbeing.
With all the focus lately on mental wellness and even physical wellness most are missing the key ingredient to make personal wellness a reality…Financial Wellness.
There is no doubt that higher levels of stress lead to more sickness, more time away from family and work, an erosion of your quality of life and the degradation of your relationships. Heck, money issues are cited as the second leading cause of divorces. The good news is it doesn’t need to be that way.

Get ready to learn the proven, time-tested money principles that work in boom or bust, inflation or no inflation or when the stock market is up or down.
You’ll learn how it works and how it can be a tool for generosity, legacy and richness.
Key Takeaways:

Financial Wellness, the Missing Link to Employee Wellness™ – Increase Productivity, Build Efficiency & Raise Profitability Through Financial Security

IDEAL AUDIENCE: Corporate Organizations, Employee-based Companies, NGOs *Can be customized
VALUE: Elevate your company’s ability to recruit and retain top talent by giving them financial security. It’s all about taking away their financial stress so it increases their focus, productivity and your bottom line.
In a world where canceling is the norm and the great resignation is the trend, companies need to stand out, be distinct to attract and retain good talent while boosting their bottom line.
In a 2020 PwC study found 54% of employees say financial matters or challenges are the largest stressor in their life. Also, a 2019 Salary Finance Study cited poor financial wellness (and lost productivity, increased turnover costs) account for an average 11%-14% of employers payroll costs.
And a Salary Finance survey showed a “cash strapped” employee is 5.8 times more likely to miss deadlines and 4.9 times more likely to produce lower quality work.
This is because stress leads to higher levels of sick time and PTO as well as poor quality work are a result of the chronic distractions caused by financial issues and the employees mind not being present with their work.
The answer isn’t more money, rather it is about giving employees the knowledge, tools and tactics to do the right thing with the money they have…it’s called financial security.
When your employees feel more financially secure and feel like they have control of their financial future, they will be less distracted, more productive and work with greater dedication and efficiency.
And that doesn’t even speak to the impact it can have on the company’s recruitment and retention efforts. Consider the market distinction you gain by getting known for having a caring culture for your employees.
I don’t mean window dressing caring but real, deep caring where they see themselves as part of a family instead of a company.
An Employee Benefit News study showed the percentage of employees “highly stressed” about personal finances dropped from 52.4% to 19.2% after a financial wellness program.
This was validated by a PwC 2018 Financial Wellness Survey showed that companies that provided some training and support around financial wellness found:
41% go there spending under control
39% prepared for retirement
31% paid off debt
27% saved for major goals
23% better managed investments/assets
The fact is, companies with a culture of caring for their employees by providing access to programs, trainings and resources that reduce stress and appeals to their future have more productive and more loyal employees that stay with the company for long tenures.
If you’re realizing that you want to reduce stress on your employees, increase their productivity and increase your bottom line, then it’s time to think about your employee’s financial wellness.
Mel’s entertaining and powerful presentation will provide your team, employees and management the foundational principles and specific steps to create an unshakeable financial foundation.
This can be the catalyst for less stress at work, no more distractions that impact productivity and let them know that the company they work for cares about their well being and future.
Takeaways:
Learn the single most powerful wealth-building tool you have
Learn where your single greatest point of failure is when it comes to building wealth (the answer might surprise you)
Learn why making a lot of money actually isn’t the answer to building wealth and financial security
Learn The five principles that can keep you from getting sucked into making emotional financial decisions.
Discover the simple mathematics to wealth-building for financial security
Learn where to focus your investing on first to accelerate your financial results

Conquering Your Money Emotions – The Keys to Not Getting Taken for a Ride on the Emotional Rollercoaster of Money & Investing
IDEAL AUDIENCE: Professionals, Entrepreneurs, Network Marketing/MLM, Employees, Executives *Can be Customized

VALUE: Eliminate the stories and emotions around money so you can finally take control of your financial destiny. Whether employee or entrepreneur, it’s removing obstacles to allow you to grow financially.

The fact is money and investing and your financial future is as much an emotional one as it is a financial one. The reality is most money issues are behavior issues and behavior issues are effectively emotional, or mindset, issues. We often stand in our own way by allowing our emotions to get the best of us as markets go up and down.
Money is taboo and most families never talk about it. My studies have shown that everyone carries some level of shame, embarrassment, and guilt around money whether you have millions or a few thousand dollars.
However, when you understand the reality and have the right strategies and tactics, the emotions no longer control you. In fact, you see the swings as opportunities to expand your financial comfort zone and build your wealth
In this fast-paced presentation, Mel gives you a glimpse into the rollercoaster ride of money emotions but then quickly shifts to the strategies and tactics to get off the ride and keep you on track to your financial destiny.
Takeaways:
Understand the emotional rides of the market so you can ride them with grace.
Learn The five principles that can keep you from getting sucked into making emotional financial decisions.
Understand Full Spectrum Mentoring™ how to choose the right mentor for your situation.
Learn the four stages of The Affluence Journey™ and how to navigate through them.
Discover the simple mathematics to wealth-building
Learn where to focus your investing on first to accelerate your financial results
Understanding the Wealth Priority Ladder™ framework which is what the wealthy use to build their financial independence
