About Dr. Melody Schumann, MBA

Passionate About Helping You Succeed

I counsel entrepreneurs in the U.S. — from crafters and artists to healthcare providers and digital marketers — guiding them through the business planning process. Many clients feel overwhelmed or even fearful when faced with financials, marketing plans, and spreadsheets. My role is to break down the complexity and show them it can be done well.
