BOOK REVIEWS

“I had no idea what to expect and I truly enjoyed reading it. I could relate to many things and other times, just inspired by your goals and how you pursued them. Very motivating….I’m rooting for you to meet Elton!! Who doesn’t love his music. Everytime you mentioned Crocodile Rock, I was singing it in my head It’s contagious like Neil Diamond’s Sweet Caroline!!!”  ~ Brenda

Review from Amazon

5.0 out of 5 starsmotivational books through the years and none have been more useful and fun to read then this

ByMarc Wagmeisteron September 21, 2017

I bought this book directly from Melissa so she could sign it for me and so thrilled she did. Now I have read my share of self-help, motivational books through the years and none have been more useful and fun to read then this. Melissa combines her love for family, friends, business, making and keeping goals and did I forget to mention Elton John ? Yes, I said Elton John, if you’re a fan you can’t pass this read up… Melissa takes you on her journey of life and pursuit of her life long dream to meet Elton. Along the way you’ll get inside info into getting great concert seats as well as Melissa’s inspiring story to get debt free and meet the one and only “Rocket Man” ( you’ll just have to buy the book to find out why this term is relevant) Building My Yellow Brick Road is just one of those books that strikes a chord in each and every one of us… Bravo Melissa great read

I read Melissa’s book today! As you can see, I’ve added several page flags to several pages that are important to me. This is a fantastic book about a fantastic journey. Melissa tells the story of not only her passion, but also how she achieved her goals based on her passion. She’s the biggest Elton John fan that I know, and since the age of nineteen, it’s been her life’s goal to meet him in person. To this end, she attends many of his concerts; and in order to not be held back from achieving her dream, she has also worked towards and became debt-free. There are so many lessons to be learned from Melissa’s life but one that left a strong impression with me was where she wrote, “Social pressures are not an easy thing to go against. Everyone has an opinion about where you fit in, what your life should look like, and who you are to be with . When we spend too much time listening to those voices, and not enough time listening to our own inner voice, we live a life in turmoil . That daily battle against who we truly want to be and who are trying to measure up is exhausting. It is only in coming to terms with who we want to be that we are really, truly ourselves and can begin to take the steps toward crossing that bridge to the life we want. It sounds drastic, I know, but to get what we want out of life, we must be willing to take huge risks.” Highly recommend!
