For more than 25 years, Misty Novich built payment programs for some of the largest acquirers, networks, merchants, and SaaS companies in the world.

She helped organizations launch new payment products, improve operational efficiency, reduce costs, and unlock new revenue streams.

She knew her expertise was valuable.

What she wasn’t sure about was whether she could successfully build a business around it.

Passport helped her answer that question.

By narrowing her focus, clarifying her offer, and learning how to confidently position her expertise, Misty stopped thinking about consulting as something other people did and started seeing what was possible for herself.

One of her biggest breakthroughs came when she restructured a proposal and increased the investment to $50,000 for a project expected to take just one to two months.

The client said yes.

And that was just the beginning. Since launching her business, she has worked with seven clients and generated approximately $300,000 in consulting revenue.

Today, Misty leads SaaS Payments Consulting, helping software companies optimize payment programs, reduce processing costs, improve profitability, and accelerate growth.

Her clients have achieved outcomes ranging from reducing payment processing costs by up to 50% to unlocking new revenue opportunities and improving long-term profitability.

But what matters most to Misty isn’t the revenue.
It’s the freedom.

Today, she sets her own schedule, chooses who she works with, and structures her business around the people and priorities that matter most.

She no longer feels controlled by email, meetings, or someone else’s definition of productivity.

Instead, she has the flexibility to spend time with her two-year-old granddaughter, prepare for the arrival of another grandchild, and be fully present for her family when they need her.

Looking back, Misty says one of the most important lessons Passport taught her was simple:

Focus.

Master one offer.
Solve one important problem.
Build from there.

Today, she’s doing exactly that—and building a business that supports her life instead of competing with it.
