Episode #231: Starting an Online Business with Mellanie Page
I am talking all things biz with Mellanie Page, founder and CEO of The ABA Collective. Mellanie, a trailblazer in the field, creates high-quality programs that go beyond the traditional boundaries of ABA. Mellanie joins us to talk about entrepreneurship, finding your niche, and the value of starting before everything feels perfect.
If you’ve got that entrepreneurial spark, a voice nudging you toward something more —you’re in the right place. Mellanie shares how stepping into the gaps she saw in the field led her to build impactful offerings like CEUs, conferences, and the OBM Practitioners Program. This program offers a thoughtful blend of modules, mentorship, and community—a natural path for future business owners.
More and more clinicians are moving toward business ownership, and Mellanie’s story is a great reminder that there’s room for creativity and passion in this space. Her top advice? If the return is there, the investment is worth it. Think long-term. And most importantly, action creates clarity — you don’t have to have it all figured out to begin.
