My name is Mel Anderson. I am a Life and Business coach and NLP Practitioner.
After having my first child in 2006, I decided that I no longer wanted to work full time as a Bank Manager, the job was too demanding and the hours were too long and I wanted to be at home seeing my daughter grow up. I studied whilst working and in 2008 after my son was born, I gave up work altogether. I started my business in 2008 on a small scale and the plan was to be able have the flexibility to work when I wanted.
I had an attempt at a website in 2008, but unfortunately didn’t find the help I needed in setting it up and without this, I was lost. Compila was recommended by a good friend, so I decided to give it another shot in 2009. |

I designed my website myself on my Mac because I didn’t have the funds to pay a web designer. It took me a long time to get it right, but I’m really happy with the results. The website has just the right amount of information. It explains NLP in brief and simple terms for anyone who has never come across it before and gives examples of practical applications. It then has the standard type of information, about my services, about me, contact, testimonies and links. |

| When it came to publishing the site, again I needed help setting it up. I have no real experience in this area. I called the help line at Compila and they very patiently and very clearly talked me through the steps. They also helped me set up my computer so my business emails come straight to my Mac. This is invaluable to me as I don’t have to go through the Web now, I just switch on my computer and there are my busniess emails. |

Since launching my website I have Coached a number of personal clients and have won two big business contracts that will see me through to christmas. I have exactly what I want, the flexibility and the income to work part time and spend lots of precious time with my two kids.
As far as the future is concerned, once the kids are at school in a few years, I plan to run a newsletter and get a client base through regular contact.
I am on Twitter, LinkedIn and Facebook and I will promote my website heavily through links to Blogs/newsletters etc. I am happy at the moment that most of my work comes word of mouth. The website is a great place for people to be referred to so they can get an idea of who I am and what I can do. |
