It’s not just about deals—it’s about doing this together

​
Hi Reader,

I’ve been thinking a lot this month about what it really takes to build wealth.

Yes, the numbers matter. Yes, the strategies matter. But if this first month of the Seller Financing Academy pilot has shown me anything—it’s that community is the greatest form of capital we’ve got.

In just four short weeks, I’ve watched people lift each other through big mindset shifts, navigate their very first deal structures, and find courage in places they didn’t think they had it. And the ripple effect is real—when one person shows up fully, it makes it safer for the next person to do the same.

I’ve felt it personally, too.

This past month, I got to meet Glennon Doyle in person (yes, I cried). I also sat in the presence of Eckhart Tolle during his Seattle event and was reminded again of the power of quiet presence, deep trust, and slow building. These moments—along with the conversations inside the cohort—have made one thing incredibly clear:

✨ We don’t have to do this alone. We’re not supposed to. ✨

So if you’ve been on the fence about diving into seller financing, I want you to know this isn’t about going it alone. You’ll learn the formulas, the structure, the offer terms—but what truly creates results is your willingness to take action with intention and community.

🎓 The Self-Study Academy Opens July 1st

🎤 Where Mel’s Been This Month

It’s been a powerful season of sharing the message of conscious wealth—and I’ve had the honor of speaking on some incredible platforms this past month:

• Listen to my conversation with host Hunter J McNair on Queer and Successful - choose your podcast player here.

• Hang out with Becky from the Lady Landlords podcast and me as we talk about seller financing myths, mindset shifts, and how to stop giving away power to banks. Listen here or watch excerpts from the live stream when you click here:

• Had some stage time with Chris Mertz, being interviewed at the Portland REI Meetup where we talked about shared actionable steps for structuring creative deals without overcomplicating it. Podcast release coming soon!

• I helped some clients close a 0% interest deal, highlighting what seller financing can do for you. Watch the story that starts with how the banking systems failed someone who is Muslim, but when you bank your neighbor, everybody wins.

• ​Hang out with me on Substack! I just released my first article with many more to come. I want to make it easy for you to find notes of inspiration that are too big for social media.

With deep gratitude,
Mel
