The hardest thing about business is loneliness
Do you agree? Add the uncertainty that comes with starting something new, and you find yourself between a rock and a hard place more often than not.
Sounds like you?
You know it's possible to have a thriving business, you know you have something incredible to share with others... but you don't seem to find the way to achieve the success you want to make your business & big life a reality.
You're in the right place, we've created this membership for you!
I totally get it... because I've been in your shoes
- You decided that 2024 was the year you were going to build your business but time goes by and you don't seem to be taking the action & see your next steps clearly

- You're tired of feeling you're the only person who is doing this-business-thing in your circle: you know your people are somewhere (they have to!) but you're not sure where and how to connect with them.
- You know you're missing some piece of the puzzle when it comes to your business and your marketing knowledge and that learning those foundations will make all the difference to achieve the results you know you can get.

- You know you want to be your own boss (or keep on being your own boss) and you're willing to put in the work to achieve your goal - you just need a roadmap to get there.
- You want to experience location freedom (be it working from home or from a tropical island) & financial freedom, and you're in this business thing for the long haul.
- You may be working on a corporate job right now as you get your business off the ground and you know it doesn't bring your true gifts to the table.
- You are lost on how to achieve your goal of making a full living out of your own business.
- You know there's a big life waiting for you but you can't seem to find a realistic roadmap to take you there.
And also if...
- You are feeling defeated and you're doubting yourself because you get stuck in a pattern of not showing up in the way you want to show up for your business again & again.
- You're tired of making all the decisions on your own and running your business as if you were the only person inhabiting planet Earth. (hint: you're not!)
- You know you're missing pieces of the puzzle & you want to learn the right foundations to run your business.
- You want to get your mindset right to be the most successful version of yourself.
- You don't feel inspired to take action for your business every single day because having a business that sustains your lifestyle feels so far away from you right now.
You've spoken, I've listened.
Throughout all the years I've been working with people wanting to forget the office and start their own business, there's been one constant: you feel lonely.
You've spoken, and I've listened. I know you want to connect with people on the same path who actually get what it feels like to walk away from a 'safe' situation (or at least what society tells us it's 'safe') and risk it for the biscuit.
I know you want to learn the business, marketing and mindset foundations that will help you get there way faster than just trying to work it out on your own.
I know this new layer of support will bring you something you've been longing for: not being alone at the forefront of your business and connecting with people who want to lead the same lifestyle and follow their life purpose, just like you.

I'm here to share all my business, marketing and mindset learnings with you.
At Forget the Office we address a significant challenge faced by business owners: the expectation to possess exceptional business and marketing skills on top of their core expertise, even if they haven't previously learned these skills.
Even for those with a business background, there's a steep learning curve when starting a new venture, requiring a plethora of skills.
Through this membership, I aim to share insights gained from my experiences starting two businesses, transitioning from being a lawyer to being a digital marketing agency owner, and my career as a digital marketer assisting businesses of all sizes start, grow and scale.
Meet Your Coach: Merce Maresma
Certified coach, NLP Practitioner + former digital marketing agency owner & business expert
I'm a certified coach and digital marketing expert, although before that I was an international corporate lawyer in Spain for 4 years.
I'm currently living between Australia and Spain with my partner Chris.
Having a corporate law background and having studied in Business School for 3 years, plus having studied a Master’s in Digital Marketing at Instituto Marketing Barcelona, I got a business number and started freelancing in law, business advisory, and digital marketing.
I decided to brand my digital marketing freelancing services into a digital marketing agency, stepping into a career that has allowed me to travel & work from anywhere as I supported all sorts of businesses in their marketing needs.
I started delving into the most common challenges for people to become successful in business, and drawing from my own experience, where I struggled by getting in the way of my own success, I became a Certified Professional Coach adhered to OCC-I ethical practices, an NLP Practitioner and Level 1 Coach by the Institute of Applied Psychology in Sydney.
I created Forget the Office to help entrepreneurs create & grow the online businesses of the new era by bringing incredible marketing and business foundations and cultivating a successful mindset via doing the inner work.
Forget the Office embodies a journey that began long before I left my corporate law job, but truly materialized when I closed that office door for the last time.
Since then, I've immersed myself in learning about business, mindset, marketing, and much more, and I've started two companies following that pursuit.
I've aided dozens of entrepreneurs in realising their visions and scaling their businesses, initially through my digital marketing agency and now through Forget the Office.
My passion lies in sharing this knowledge because
- Many aspiring entrepreneurs never make the leap due to lacking the necessary skills to turn their ideas into a profitable business.
- Stepping out of one's comfort zone often brings discomfort, leading many entrepreneurs to give up prematurely, before their businesses can thrive, to avoid this discomfort.
This is what others have said about Forget the Office
Piero
Mercè is a great professional and a wonderful person.
I was stuck and she helped me find my purpose.
It has been a great experience to work with her.
Ariadna
The money mindset session with Merce was very useful to me because I could understand my values related to money.
I found that some beliefs were limiting me and my business. Now I am more capable of making the right decision regarding my values, lifestyle, and personal needs. She is such an amazing coach :).
Laura
I highly recommend the workshop to anyone who wants to learn about Instagram Strategy and how to use Canva. This workshop has given me all the tools I needed to confidently start with my Instagram content strategy and with my Canva designs. After the workshop I feel much more clarity, confident, and energised to start taking action, and now I know where to start with
Kim
Mercè is a great mentor. Very patient and encouraging. I don't consider myself a techie person and I easily get overwhelmed when it comes to Instagram, Canva, and technologies in general, but Mercè explains everything in such a simple and clear way that everything seems much easier and fun. I cannot recommend this workshop enough!
Sara
It's still a work in progress but the program is great, and Merce is a very organised person, so that helps if you are quite messy and want it all but don‘t know where to start :)
Beatriz Jericó
Mercè was a gift from the universe, this is how it is.
Our sessions made realize so many limiting beliefs, many issues that burned inside me and I didn't know why. Thanks to her I have begun to really visualize my path as a freelancer.
Thank you for that, Mercè. Looking forward to seeing each other again 🙌🏻🙏🏻
Dr. Anneline Padayachee
Today's workshop was really, really, really epic.
We got given a workbook, which guides your thinking right from working out your values, your mission, and your vision for either yourself personally, and also your business and your company.
And then it takes you from there all the way through to working out content, all within a day.
Because if you don't get that basics right and you don't understand the pains of who your target audiences are, don't really get into their head, understand what does a win look like for them, and don't understand what their objections could potentially be, you're just literally swinging back blindly. So yeah, the workshop was really, really, really good.
