Profitability by design

Build a business that pays you—on purpose.

reverse engineer your profit.

If you're in real estate or running your own business, you already know how to hustle.

What most people don’t know?

Profitability isn’t random—it’s intentional.

The most successful investors, realtors and entrepreneurs aren’t just working harder.

They’re working smarter—with systems that support sustainability, alignment, and long-term wealth.

They know how to:

✦ Build intentional systems

Structure deals and income around their financial goals

✦ Allocate profits first—not as an afterthought

✦ Track and manage cash flow with clarity

✦ Stop chasing revenue and start creating margin

That’s exactly what Profit for Keeps® is designed to do.

Why most entrepreneurs stay stuck

If you're like most investors, realtors or service-based professionals, your business might look “successful” on the outside—but behind the scenes, the finances still feel messy:

  • You're making decent money, but you don't know where it’s going

  • You’re constantly managing expenses but can’t tell what’s actually profitable

  • You feel like you’re starting over with every, property, deal or client

  • You have goals—but no system for consistently building toward them

This is the “revenue roller coaster,” and it’s exhausting.

Profit for Keeps® helps you step off it—for good.

that’s where I come in

I’m Mellisa Reeves—certified Profit for Keeps Coach, Realtor, Designer and STR Consultant. I’ve been working in this field for almost 20 years… I’ve co-founded a successful real estate brokerage, launched short term rentals that waaaaaayyyy outperform the market, sold hundreds of homes and am damn good at getting in the trenches with my clients.

I work with realtors, real estate investors, and service-based business owners who want to get off the revenue roller coaster and build a business that supports their life without burning them out.

Together, we get under the hood of your finances and rebuild the way you relate to money from the ground up.

✔️ Build in PROFIT, consistently cover all of your operating expenses, and PAY YOURSELF

✔️ Plan sustainably so your business supports your life—not the other way around
