Melody Stevens believes that the best teachers in business and life are the ones who have made the most colossal mistakes and have lived to tell about them. A singer, pianist and music teacher by trade, Melody Stevens left the world of public school music teaching to pursue entrepreneurship. Ms. Stevens is the owner since 1997 of Academy of Music on Main Street in Spotswood and Old Bridge, New Jersey. Her music schools have a total enrollment of more than 500 students and 30 employees. She owns a seminar company (MB Seminars. LLC) for business professionals and women and also has a coaching/speaking business and her own brand of seminar called “Time Millionaire” which teaches people how to have a life of freedom and ease AND be a successful entrepreneur. 

To earn her status as a “time millionaire” Ms. Stevens has given up such things as obsessive yo-yo dieting, overeating, gossiping, complaining, participating in unhealthy relationships, and people-pleasing. She has promoted herself to true CEO of her music education company; having delegated all day to day operations and teaching. She doesn’t even do the cooking in her household. Instead, she spends her time working ON her businesses, raising her 9 year old daughter Sarah, dating her husband Michael, meeting with advisors, Time Millionaire clients, and key employees, taking yoga and Zumba classes, speaking all over the region, singing with her trio “Women in a Chord” and spending time with the friends and family members she most enjoys.
