Your Application Has Been Received

In 2006, I made the decision to open a small retail business called Tiny Pieces. In the eleven years since then, I have had a small level of success if you can call working 5-7 days a week including every weekend and not getting paid a success.

I was introduced to Ed Erickson of Erickson Business Coaching.We began working together in July and I have learned more than I can probably identify because it’s still slowly seeping in. He’s taken me back to things like what drives me, my purpose, my goals, my values, my strength… what makes me thrive. From there I identified, with his help, more about what my business stands for and who it attracts.

With Ed’s help I am formulating a doable, actionable plan to achieve some pretty serious goals. He is clear minded and focused on helping me get to the place where this small business of mine will ultimately…work for me vs me work for it. I am extremely confident in his leadership and encourage you, if you are struggling in your business, to check him out. You will NOT be sorry!

Ed is a great business coach. He has exceptional skills when it comes to understanding business challenges and providing strategy and guidance on overcoming them. Working with him has been pleasure and I will highly recommend him if you are looking for a strategic partner.

When I started working with Ed, I didn’t understand the basics of building a program much less one that was reflective of my values and my business. I was frustrated and felt like I was at an impasse. As a result of working with Ed, I feel more competent and capable. I have a product that I can market instead of being a generalist in my field. I also have a sense of relief and pride now that I am crystal clear on what I do, how I do it and who I serve. Before working with Ed, I was persisting but not thriving which was making me less energized, motivated and hopeful. Since working with Ed, I feel excited about the potential to grow my business.

Ed has really pushed us forward and is doing an excellent job of holding us accountable with all that we do. We can't speak highly enough of Ed. He has a wealth of knowledge that has helped us down a path we have never been. The progress we have made is tremendous.

Just a year ago I was ready to close down my business and walk away from my dream. I felt like I had tried everything and maybe I didn't know how to run my business.

Coaching has opened my eyes and expanded my thinking in what the business needs, what key positions and qualities are required for each position to find the best fit. I am still learning but the good news is I did not have to close the business and we are expanding! Thanks to coaching with Ed Erickson!

Assisting in personal growth and development is THE important key in building a business. Ed works with me at a deeper level and guides in changing mindsets and processes that have positively impacted my business and my personal life. Over the past 6 months, Ed has enabled me to formulate a business vision and philosophy, set goals, and guided me to effectively focus my marketing and sales efforts. Important people in my life have already noticed a big difference in my attitude, confidence, and communication skills. Thanks, Ed!

Working with Ed to add structure and process to my business was a game-changer for me.He created an organizational chart, based on roles, which I had never heard of before -- but it made perfect sense!Establishing company standards, having job descriptions and putting processes into place will help me on-board new staff more quickly and will ensure that everyone understands who we are and how we operate. I'm now ready to make my next hire and am confident it will be the right one! Ed clearly knows his stuff! Beyond all of the business tools Ed developed for/with me, he's a joy to work with. He's calm and confident and has a wry sense of humor that I truly appreciate. I now feel confident that I can build the company I never dreamed was possible.

I really jumped into expanding my massage therapy business by adding employees overnight. I know my craft extremely well and knew I wanted to mentor others and leverage my time, but I have to say that is all I knew. I made several mistakes - almost enough to walk away from my business altogether, thinking this is just too much for a healer to take on. Then I met Ed, who showed me that there are ways to put structure into the business and get clarity for finding and keeping the right employees. I followed his coaching advice and used his templates to create procedures, and job descriptions, so everyone knows what to do and what role they have. Now, I'm feeling very clear about how to find the right staff to express my brand and get the job done confidently, so that I can focus my attention on growing my business. Thanks Ed!

Ed Erickson is awesome! He is patient and persistent. With his guidance, I feel confident that I can reach my goals. I like the step by step clear instructions. I go to seminars and they speak in grand terms but Ed has been able to make it tangible and set out the steps. Ed is taking me from theory to practical.
