"I'm grateful for the impactful weekend at PLAY BIG. Every day another layer of clarity was revealed. And oh my gosh, the mastermind lunch gave me a lot to chew on! (Sorry, just had to. 🤣 )" –Lynn Chaplin-Noe
“I cannot express enough how much I appreciate the way you helped me change my mindset and got me on the road to making a decent living. When my neighbor asked me what I wanted to do in music, for the first time I didn't have 10 answers, only one. The words flowed off my tongue so easily I couldn't believe it was me speaking.” –Dave Christensen, Play Almost Anything Piano
“Before the event I was struggling to make peace with earning a living from a freelance lifestyle. The event gave me a different perspective - one that empowered me to take ownership of my situation and to actively shape the dream life I want for me and my family. Thanks to the coachs’ training, encouragement and advice, I am moving forward with more confidence, focus, and (*drum roll*) higher-paying and consistent clients!” –Ryan Ricks, Film & TV Composer
“I was stuck before I came to the Play Big event. I’d seemingly failed at promoting the best musical work of my life and had stalled for a year. At Play Big I received so much information I’d never gotten before. I was uplifted, energized and overwhelmed, but excited. Now I can move forward in my life. I’ve already got so many ideas for rebooting my career!” –Jill Freeman, Red Umbrella Productions
I want to revolutionize my business so I can start living a creative and profitable life. I am ready to build the foundation for my freedom lifestyle and finally have a life that I truly love. Sign me up today!

Do I have to attend both days? No, but it is much better. Let us put it this way, “Do you NEED to double your income this year?” Well maybe not, but if you WANT to know how you could do that, you’ll need to be with us for the whole event, (or as much as possible). You’ll WISH you’d cleared the decks for the whole time, you’ll see!
What makes Melissa or her team qualified to lead this event? Melissa has been coaching for nearly 30 years. With international and national acclaim, TV appearances as Expert Coach, high-level (Fortune 100 and 500) creative mavericks as clients and thousands of solo creative entrepreneurs who’ve benefited from her programs, knowledge, training and team, Melissa is uniquely qualified, extremely efficient and practiced at helping Creative Entrepreneurs build and prosper in business, career and life in ways they hadn’t ever imagined. Melissa’s team is hand-picked and highly trained over a 2-year period to produce results using the exact methods Melissa has cultivated and uses with her own private, high-level clients, giving even beginning business owners a distinct advantage from the start of their coaching experience.
Do I need bring anything with me? You. Bring all of you: your fears, your dreams, your strengths and your skills. Bring commitment and courage to change. Bring questions (there will be Q&A opportunities to get live answers). Bring happy anticipation that your life and business can change the way you want them to. Maybe bring a sweater and lots of water too. ;)
How much are tickets? Is there a payment plan? Full price tickets are $197. It is really not a lot compared to other weekend workshops. If you need a payment plan, please email us at support@creative-successful-entrepreneurs.com
Is there a money back guarantee? Golly! Um sure, if you are disappointed after attending the entire event, and can honestly say you haven’t learned anything or gained one new relationship or piece of information that justifies your investment, we’ll cheerfully refund your money. Having said that, we do price the event affordably and have never had a request for refund for dissatisfaction. Come with an intention to stretch and learn in the room and you won’t likely be disappointed.
Is there a way to bring a friend at a discount? We like your thinking! Not only does bringing a friend hold you accountable to attending and make you more confident in the room networking and learning, it also helps you to process the information you’re learning and makes the whole thing even more fun. Here’s a link to bring your friend at a discount: bit.ly/play-big-april-friend-discount
