Julio Melara

CEO - Melara Enterprises


Julio started as a courier in  publishing. He’s now CEO of a media  empire and motivational speaker thanks to his Mama’s secret he shares here. 


Learn how Julio Melara got his break with Zig Ziglar opening for Zig on stages across America along with Steve Forbes, Brian Tracy and Colin Powell on their U.S Tour. 


I saw Julio speak about the time his career was taking off. His speech blew me away despite the fact he was just cutting-his-teeth promoting his first book, Do You Have Time for Success?. 


Candidly, Julio’s message planted the seeds for this ABSOLUTELY MINDSET podcast. Welcome to the very first episode. (now the Close The Deal.com Podcast)


3 questions for you


  • Is there something holding you back from speaking to an audience big or small?
  • Are you struggling in sales? 
  • Do you need a mindset or energy boost?


Julio Melara reveals his Mama’s secret! 

His Mama’s secret was actually in the form of a gift that galvanized his mindset at age 13. That gift crushes the questions above he touches on. He shares with us how he passed on that same gift to his children...literally...


I learned that gift from him when I heard him speak the very first time...it’s a simple story he told. The power of story is stronger than any fact or statistic; we simply remember stories for the impact they have on our lives. 


Julio founded and leads the Business Report Executive Leadership Academy and recently launched the 21st Century Business Forum.  Julio kicked  that off with Steve Forbes, John Maxwell, and Alabama Coach Nick Saban.  They just interviewed former New Orleans Saints quarterback Drew Breese.
