Michelle De Almeida, a Scotland-based entrepreneur and founder of MDA Business Coaching, is celebrating an exceptional year defined by a bestselling book, international recognition, and the flourishing growth of her coaching community.
Michelle became an Amazon No. 1 bestselling author earlier this year with her contribution to From The Heart: The Heart-Led Way To Get Unstuck, Find Your Purpose And Live Your Passion. The book not only dominated several Amazon charts but also supports Business Women Connect Futures, a charity helping young women launch their own businesses.
Her chapter reflects on her personal challenges, including infertility struggles, corporate burnout, and the decision to pivot her career by founding her own business in December 2021. Today, Michelle leads three thriving businesses and works with entrepreneurs across the globe to create financially successful, purpose-led ventures.
This year has marked a period of significant growth. In February, Michelle launched Limitless, a free online business community now home to more than 1,200 members. In August, she introduced a high-level coaching programme, designed to support clients scaling towards seven figures. In October, she will take the stage at the Global Icons of Impact 2025 conference in Dubai, marking her international speaking debut.
Michelle has also contributed to Scotland’s entrepreneurial ecosystem as a judge at the 2025 BWC Edinburgh Athena Awards, celebrating women in business — an event where she herself was twice recognised as a finalist.
“Looking back, every challenge and victory has brought me to where I am today, and it’s a place of purpose and empowerment,” said Michelle De Almeida. “I’m passionate about making committed decisions and taking action, which can help business owners who feel like I did break free from overwhelm, reclaim control, and step into a life they love. This year’s achievements are proof that investing in yourself is worth it.”
Michelle’s achievements serve as a powerful reminder that with resilience, clarity, and action, business owners can transform adversity into opportunity and build the life they desire.
