For those of you who don’t know me, my name is Michelle Ghilotti and I’m a speaker, writer, what my book-writing coach calls a “modern entrepreneurial adventurist mom”, a serial expat and success coach who for 13 years has helped hundreds of women and moms design businesses that fit their authentic, soulful personalities as well as fit into their lives as well as gets them (and their genius!) noticed. (Before that, I spent eight years working with brands such as Nike and Starbucks in the ad business.)
I love to live this vision or, better said, I live what I envision for the world each new day and create with that level of heart and soul. Through this work, I love showing women how to do the same; how to dance through life that free and empowered.
I, of course, gave myself the time and nurturing I needed in each instance (this yogi knows the value of stopping to smell the roses!), however, I never said “next year!”, “later…” or “…maybe when he’s older.”
I saw and went for what I knew was there and possible for me as, deep inside, I knew it would be good for all of us.
I mention this for one reason and one reason only ~ I kept looking for and reaching for the happiness and purpose I knew I’d had from a young age.
The business, my family and I have all grown in the best way, despite of, or better said, as a result of these “obstacles”. In many ways, they’ve simply show me how ready I am for the continued growth and even larger opportunities that lie ahead.
Feel the fear and do it anyway.
All of it has led to a fulfilling family life and business not only because I’ve continued even when it felt scary but because I’ve created from a place of truth, a place that feeds my soul, creativity and my authentic desires. That doesn’t mean it hasn’t felt feel like work at times but, just like motherhood, it’s the best work I’ve ever done. Because it’s what I’ve always known I’m capable of.
The life and business I’ve consciously created speaks beautifully to my modern-day gypsy ways and also allows me to be the spontaneous, devoted mom and partner I love and that my men love too. I couldn’t be more grateful for this YES life. Because in continuing to say YES to my dreams, I say YES to my family and their dreams, too.
Speaking of a dream, our wish let loose on the world, as my husband and I call him, is named Nolan (9) and he’s a bookworm. He calls me Mama and I’m happy to say that I never miss a field trip, school volunteer opportunity or being able to watch him practice soccer during the work week. He and I enjoy “Art Tuesdays”, “Museum Wednesdays” and “Happy Friday fun days” after we get home from school at 3:15pm. (He enjoys these days so much he has them written on an intention board near his bed.)
I'm also the proud wife of a hopeless romantic named Josh (infinite love and gratitude to his mama), and after 16 years together, we still write each other love notes and surprise one another with date night often.
And, as with our businesses, all my most important relationships, are that way because of a mindful and conscious choice to, as much as I can everyday, create what I want to be a part of.
As a result of being present and passionately in love with my family, I have purposefully created a business model, daily and weekly schedule that allows me the time to take care of the first domino in the domino effect ~ me. As the lynch pin in the whole operation (the business + family operation), I make sure to make this me time non-negotiable.
I do a daily strength workout, yoga, read my favorite books, make quiet time for tea and/or meditation every single day while Nolan is at school. My health and wellness is a must. Because if mama isn’t healthy of mind, body and soul, no one will really be healthy of mind, body, soul.
As moms/mums/mamas, if we are the fireplace everyone comes to for warmth, inspiration and creativity, we need to be fueled and fired up too…give from your overflow, mama, not from your lack.
As the How to Be a Walking Momtra book says, we could describe this as focusing on your happiness so you can RAISE happiness.
With this said, I also want to share that I call MGI and Walking Momtra both family businesses.
I’ve coined them “family businesses” for a few reasons, not the least of which is that they are both so integrated with my family life.
Throughout my communication of each, the sharing of my story, creation of my services, travel and daily goings-on of my, it's increasingly difficult to find where the me in life and the me in business begins and/or ends. And I love it this way. In fact, it's what makes it all work. To me, this is what having an authentic brand is all about.
I know you and I are in agreement with what I'm about to say next ~ our work lives must work while growing our beloved family.
It's with all of this awareness, love and learning that I'm ecstatic to open the doors to the Mom Mogul Success Society Home Study Group.
The Mom Mogul Success Society Home Study
In this six-month home study program, you will dance alongside the actual Mom Mogul Success Society mastermind group by listening to each recorded training after it happens (there are two sessions per month, one where I train and one where a guest six or seven-figure expert trains). You will also receive the sought-after MGI workbooks (and many bonus worksheets and speaker worksheets each month), a special invitation to your own Facebook home study group, a custom calendar that helps you keep track of the most important elements for business-building and family-building, as well as a LIVE session with me to wrap the half-year.
The Mom Mogul Success Society Home Study program is a training course that, in recorded fashion, with all the juicy goodness of the LIVE mastermind energy, will teach you about the most important elements of running a six-figure business as well as about "running" a soulful family and life.
2015 is yours for the taking.
Surprise yourself.
Make a living.
Have a life.
Have more fun, engage more fully, say hello to more financial prosperity and steal even more of those precious, fleeting moments with your kids and partner.
I'm honored and ecstatic to get started and make the first half of 2015 one for the books, poetic and powerful. Just like YOU.
Make a living and have a life.
Mom Mogul Success Society Home Study Investment
November ~ April 2016:
$297 per month (for a total of six months)
Early registration available until November 26th at 5pm Pacific


Business and Family/Life Assessment (and Mom to the 2nd Power introduction): We can’t know where we’re going until we know where we’re starting from. This month, with detailed instruction and worksheets, we will assess where you are in both business and family/life. Once we know that, it will be much easier to chart your course for the next six months.
Your Definition of Success: Since you’re interested in the mastermind, I think I have a good idea around your definition of success, but let’s discuss it and get you to put it down on paper in a unique way. You will be given questions to ask yourself to get clear on your definition of success.
The Why and What of Soul (The Introduction of Soul and Integrating Family and Business): I’ll give you a taste, “Soul is finding our who you are beneath all the stories, hurt and lies we tell ourselves.” What does SHE say she wants/believes/needs in her life? Here we’ll discuss what soul’s got to do with you being more consistently happy AND bringing in the prosperity you desire.
Core Desired Feelings and Your Brand of Mom Mogul: What two main feelings do you wish to bring into your family and what two do you wish to bring into your business. Let’s jump in and jump back out with the gold. We will also do a review of your mindset as it relates to your self worth that will tie into your pricing and business model too.
Soul Mom Mogul: Similar to what we started above, we can talk about goals, goals, goals until we’re blue in the face but if we’re not pulling in the soul truth behind each goal, it’s hard to have real power or the fuel to get there and get there happily! This month we will get clear on your soul family goals, soul money goals, soul relationship goals, soul time goals, soul travel goals, soul (brand) communication goals and soul creation/writing goals and what feeling has to do with each one. Each will have its own exercises so you feel clear and super connected as we move forward.
Greatest Business Vision and Greatest Family Life Vision (Your Movement in Business and Mission in Family): Through getting clear on your greatest business and life vision (those visions that live five to 20 years out), you can will reverse-engineer your success.
A Vision for the World: What do you envision for the world? We will gain clarity on this larger vision you have for the world and create statements to follow as we move forward in our six months together.
Plugging the Leaky Holes in Your Life: After identifying the leaky holes in your business, money, family, relationships and more (and then getting rid of what’s not serving you!), we will then clear space for what’s truly most important in your business and family life. The Clearing Space Exercise will help you in a huge way as will the instruction around establishing healthy boundaries around your business and family time. Action steps and how-to’s will be detailed. We will also discuss your Power of Five early on so we can begin to understand how important the five people we spend the most time with really is to our success and happiness.
New Year New You Ceremony for Business and Family: It’s exactly as it sounds. This is a powerful, visual and soulful way to state your intentions for 2015!
Your Big, Audacious Soul Goals for the Next Six Months: We are now ready to state and claim your intention for our six months together. Or, in other words, ready to claim your one big audacious goal in business and in family/life!
Your Purpose Leads to Your Movement: Your why is extremely important to gain clarity on. It is the heart and soul of your brand and business and also describes the movement you are leading in the world. This piece we get clear on now will also be one piece to establishing your brand…just you wait.
Family and Child Mission: We will walk through how to create both a family mission statement and a mission statement for your child too...we know that for you to feel most empowered, you want your family to feel it too!
Five Most Important “Buckets”: We will delve into the following most important categories or buckets you should be pouring into for greatest happiness and reward: Family/Spouse Time, Health/Mom Time, Business/Mogul Time, Brand-Building/Platform-Building Time and Money-Making Opportunities.
The Revelation of Self & Authenticity: As the founder and visionary of your business-turned-movement, getting clear on your story isn’t just good for your brand, it’s good for your soul. It honors where you’ve been, both personally and professionally, and supports you in growing your visibility. In order to have a successful business (and feel happy), you need to be seen and hear in a bigger way everyday and, most importantly, need to know how TO be seen and heard.
Bend Time/Calendaring, Productivity and Time Management: As two great authors on these subjects says, let’s eat the frog and also start with the end in mind! A mom wanting to create magic both in her business and in her life needs a custom schedule to fit it all in. We will discuss how you can create your own, empowered schedule and how those boundaries we discussed in January will be even more important to stick to.
Three-Pointed Motherhood Mojo, Parenthood on Your Terms: Learn three soulful strategies (and mantras/momtras) that will support you in feeling the wisdom, comfort and confidence that you’re doing it “right.” Hint – it’s all inside. You are your only guru.
Mindset Moves & Success Habits: Feel the fear and do it anyway. We hear that a lot, don’t we? But how can we take that truth and apply it? In this month’s training and Action Kills Fear worksheet, you will usher in a whole new consciousness around that thing you call “fear” or “anxiety.” Among other things, we will review the law of attraction, your wealth consciousness and you’ll also hear what a Swami told Michelle once that she has taken to heart in building a successful business and family.
Important Devotion: Behind every great kid is a loving mom doing her best. Let’s talk about that “best” ~ what we call important devotion. This month we will detail at least 12 special and extremely unique things that you can do with your family and kids to increase the soul factor in your conversations and interactions. These are ideas and things Michelle has, until now, only kept for her and her family (you will receive the branded ideas EARLY that will also be included in the How to Be a Walking Momtra book). 
Enlightened Wealth & Realizing Your Earning Potential: Find out how creating a six-figure business comes from rocking and rolling with this idea of “enlightened wealth”. Learn the mindset practices it takes to not only make the revenue you so desire but keep the abundance flowing.
Your Ideal Client: Let’s talk “profitable target market”, or in other words, the people who are the most likely to have the most urgency to fix a/their problem and feel good about investing in it. If we don’t know who our profitable target market is, we’re always just a step or two away from that consistent income. Chasing the wrong group of people brings on many headaches and a lot of lost time. Let’s fix that!
Your Signature Process: Once a coach, consultant, mentor of any kind gets clear on her signature process (what some call a signature system), everything (and I mean everything) becomes easier. From your signature process (the process you will take every client through, she can create all her programs, packages and services. It also serves as pinpointed inspiration for creating talks, blog posts and newsletters.
Business Model Design – How will you deliver this signature system? One-to-one or one-to-many? And, since business model ties back to what we do every day, answering the “simple” question “what do you actually want to be doing each day?” will help light the path where you will travel.
Signature Package, Pricing Power & Ideal Client Conversations: Here we will be shining a light on the 1-1 business model. We will take what your hourly currently is (possibly raise it) then work from there to create your brand’s signature package or signature high-end program (from there it’s much easier to come up with a few additional programs that all lead into each other, more to come on that). We will keep your soul money goal per month in mind (the ideal amount you want to make) and work out how many clients you need per month and just how it will all play out.
Become a Relationship Architect. Most six and seven-figure women entrepreneurs I’ve worked with state that their #1 success secret is solid relationships. While this may sound obvious to you, most entrepreneurs still struggle with this. I’ll teach you my insider tricks for building and sustaining richer emotional connections—without sitting on social media for three hours a day. We will also discuss reaching out to potential partners and how to do it in a way that inspires someone to want to join forces with you.

Monthly we will give you templates, worksheets and checklists, where appropriate, on the following topics, as well as show you shortcuts (moms need shortcuts to FLY):
Nurturing the Nurturer: We will review the importance that sleep, diet, gratitude and even multi-tasking has on your ability to give from your overflow. In order to nurture others, we must nurture the nurturer ~ you!
Chief Creator of Moments: We will discuss how to use surprise and spontaneity to, like a good little yogi, stretch the happiness felt inside of you, family, clients and throughout your business!
Rich in Romance: We will have an expert on to discuss some of the top things you can do to enhance your relationship. You’re in for a treat!
Creating Your Team: It’s rarely talked about, however, delegating as much as you can as fast as you can brings you closer to your revenue goals. It may seem counter-intuitive or counter-productive but it’s the truth. Let’s design your dream team, even if that just means an intern or a part-time VA for now!
Powering Through Worry to a Solution: You’ll learn the exercise I go through to keep me in positive forward motion, no matter what is happening around me. (Feel the feelings, it’s not about ignoring but it is about being in solution mode)
Tips for Creating a Soulful Home – This isn’t about feng shui but it does have to do with certain things you can do as a family (i.e. certain evening practices) that will infuse your family and home with a lovely energy, connected and help everyone sleep better.
Be the Beginner/Fired Up by Your Firsts: It’s time to choose ONE thing you can start doing this month that you’ll be a total beginner at. Will you learn how to skateboard with your son? Try trapeze with your daughter? Take a dance class with your husband? Let’s talk about the gift it is to have the beginner’s mind (and body)! Getting this kind of perspective allows us to come back to our businesses and families with a renewed sense of self, confidence, fun and light-heartedness which never goes out of style.
Travel Light: Learn how to begin reaching out internationally with your business. And learn my tried and true way to bring the family along for the ride!

Loving Leader & Your Thought Leadership – Learn my 80/20 rule for thought leadership. If your business is a movement (and it is!) then thought leadership is really what your brand is all about.
Brand Personality Spectrum & Review. Turn your brand into a living, breathing personality that struts right off the page and into your customers’ hearts.
Your Brand Personality Filter. Create your very own Brand Personality Filter to use every day to build brand trust and increase audience engagement.
A Triple Threat Brand. Master the 3 key pieces of any business communication plan: internal business practices (products/services/company culture), inside you (style and mindset), and the public expression of your brand.
Find Your “Sweet Spot” (hint: your value or uniqueness lies in your genius zone). Explore how you can work within your zone of genius and leverage your true talents. You can figure out what problems you solve best, so you can start attracting more of your ideal clients and stay within your element.
Elevator Pitch & Tagline: The two golden lines of every brand. Let’s meet your two darlings!
The Art of Storytelling. We’ll bring together your purpose, talents, genius, life experiences and work experience to show your dream clients why you’re a woman and movement worth paying attention to. I’ll be walking you through a couple of my stories, one of them being my journey through post-partum depression. I’ll show you just how transparency works and how you too can hone your voice. As a fun extra, I’ll show you how to create momtras and just how the How to Be a Walking Momtra book came about.
Online Marketing + Your 1st Online Program: Learning how to create an “online business” as well as learning online marketing has not allowed me to integrate family and business more but it’s supported me in creating a portable business. Learn the nuts and bolts of online business and marketing this month…the world is your oyster
Education-Based Marketing: Learn the top marketing tip in the industry for moving into online/ group programs. It’s filled with soul and provides huge value for ideal prospective clients.
Authentic Marketing: Learn the top authentic brand strategies your can use on Facebook, Instagram, through your video, in your newsletter and/or through your speaking. During our private time this month, I’d love for each of you to send me a look at one of your marketing pieces so that I can critique them. Hands-on is handsome. We will also cover two of the most important things to express in your marketing -- why you’re doing what you’re doing and what exactly you’re offering so you have a plan. Clarity is queen!
Leading Groups, Hosting Your Own Workshops: You can think of leading groups in workshops or mini events as speaking opportunities because they really are. Here we will discuss and detail how you can leverage this type of speaking to sell into your high-end programs and packages.
Automating your Business (Love is in your Mailing List): Growing your email list is giving your business (especially that portable, potentially online business you want) a real chance. Hear the best strategies, learn the best systems and start putting them into place!
*The Huffington Post & TV Pitches: Check out the exact letters I sent to the Huffington Post and TV station(s) that landed me the blogging gig on HuffPo and the TV segment on AMNW just a couple months ago. You are welcome to use these as templates and I will also walk you through how to craft your own during our private session(s) together if you’re interested in going further with it.
*Book-Writing and Book Proposal 101: Whether you’re just thinking about it or extremely serious in making it happen this year, we will cover your BIG IDEA, both self and traditional publishing as well as what you need to include in a book proposal or book outline to get your genius out there and continue building your platform. Just as mentioned above, I will share one of the very outlines I’ve done for my book that will help you plug and play! (I’ve worked countless hours on getting this right with a best-selling author/writing coach and editors so, as with the HuffPo and TV information, the knowledge comes direct from the experts).
Review & Plan to Keep It All Going: Let’s review where we are (give thanks for all that has grown!) and then make a plan of action to keep what you learned over the last many months go, go, going…! Though I may keep the Mom Mogul Success Society mastermind going another six months to round this out to a year-long mastermind, we will want to ground into what supported us most during this half year to get us to where we are now. You are not the same woman you were six months ago and for that we are grateful. More growth means getting closer to your desired feelings, revenue and family circle.
What you receive each month to help
propel you forward (November through April 2016)
Though the monthly detail above each the month gives you a great understanding of the Mom Mogul Success Society Home Study program, here’s just a quick overview of what your monthly tuition pays for:
Audio recording of each training session (There are two. One training session where I teach around the theme for the month and another where my six or seven-figure guest speaker will train around the subject). Since this is a home study course, there is no LIVE virtual Q&A session. That element comes with joining the mastermind group or MGI's other LIVE programs and comes at a higher price-point.
Custom MGI workbooks (and monthly bonus worksheets) to help further your learning and muscle memory (MGI is known for our in-depth and high-quality workbooks. These alone are worth the price of monthly tuition). This is an example of a few pages of our mastermind workbooks (each workbook is a fillable PDF for your convenience).

Calendar for the month: Your custom MGI calendar will move you to fill in the most important pieces for the month and week. Everything in relation to your desired monthly revenue, your power of five and your daily gratitude are included. It will be sent to you both in fillable electronic and printable version. This is an example of what one of our calendars looks like:
Private Facebook group where you can connect with anyone else in the program.
Please note: You are welcome, of course, to post, share and ask your home study sisters around any topic, any day, all throughout the week, as many times as you desire (photos of your kids and JOY always welcome).
One two-hour LIVE (virtual) training session with Michelle in July that will be a review of everything learned February through July, as well as a celebration of making a living and having a life.
