About M-Dash Business Consulting
The goal of M-Dash Business Consulting is to make business simple.
M-Dash Shortcuts is a go-at-your-own-pace business program that's easy to understand and use, addressing the real challenges real business owners face in the real world.
It’s impossible to learn and practice everything you need to master business. Even formal education like an MBA only scratches the surface of what you need to know. And even if you hire others to lighten your load, you often lack time to train them.
What if you had all the shortcuts?
What if you could benefit from all the knowledge out there (without spending a lifetime searching Google) and truly find shortcuts that get you the results you want without cutting any corners?
Learn. Use. Succeed.

Meet Marissa Marsay
Focusing on business systems and teams, Marissa works with business owners to take their companies to the next level—increased profit margins with less day-to-day involvement.
With 20-plus years of experience as a business owner, Marissa brings a relatable, hands-on, and practical perspective to her approach. Whether in the role of consultant or trainer, her expertise provides a proven track record for on-going success. And her well-rounded experience allows for integrated solutions covering all aspects of business: strategy, marketing, sales, tactics/operations, teams, and numbers.
Passionate about business from an early age, Marissa earned a Bachelor’s Degree in Finance from U.C. Berkeley and an MBA in Marketing from Cal State East Bay, graduating with honors in both.
Described as a balanced “left-” and “right-” brained businesswoman, she possesses a unique talent for developing both visionary, big-picture strategic plans and detailed step-by-step processes for her clients. Marissa thrives on making complex concepts easy to understand and use, leading her clients to build businesses that allow them to live the lives they always envisioned.
Marissa has done exceptional work for us. We love working with her. She really understands the business needs and can connect that visually. She is consistent, gets it right every time, and is overall a pleasure to work with. I have recommended her to several friends and they all love her work as well.
Marissa was responsible for the design of a robust online program. She created multiple workbooks and PowerPoints for this project. She is creative, attentive to detail and a pleasure to work with. Her wide range of experience in business and marketing brings valuable insight to every project she takes on.
It is a real pleasure for our team to work with Marissa. The quality of her work is really superb and she is so conscientious about everything she does. We really feel we are in good hands in terms of our sales and marketing needs. Highly recommended!
Let's grow your business together.
