“When I first met Coach Ellie, my business was struggling, and I wasn’t sure how to turn things around. I never expected the profound impact her guidance and coaching would have on my business—and me as a leader.
One of the hardest decisions I ever made was closing my second location. It felt like I was giving up, but Ellie showed me the numbers and guided me through the process. Almost immediately, my losses stopped, and I could focus on rebuilding. Immediately, my business started to thrive, with sales up by over 124% in just 11 months of coaching.
Ellie’s KPI system was also a game-changer for me and my team of 21. It clarified the critical metrics I needed to monitor to stay profitable. My managers now know exactly what’s expected of them, and with Ellie’s help, we revamped our training program. Ellie even coached my top managers, empowering them to handle their team effectively. The results have been incredible—not just for my team but for me as a leader. I now have time to work on my business.
Her advice on debt repayment also transformed my financial situation. Becoming debt-free reminded me how great it is to operate in the black. I’ve grown so much and now can handle the bigger-picture issues that truly matter for growth.
At first, I wondered how I could afford Ellie's coaching fees. They seemed too high for me to handle. But that was really in my mind. She quickly paid for herself, and in retrospect, her guidance was worth much more than I had ever expected.
If you want to scale fast, make more profit, and become a truly strong leader- hire Coach Ellie! Coach Ellie is the partner you need.”

“Before I started coaching with Coach Ellie, my business life was to go to the office every day eager to meet my career goals and yet anxious that these goals would not be met. Delegating tasks meant handing the work over to staff and then hovering over them until its completion. Therefore, to my other co-workers, I appeared intimidating and highly assertive when in actuality, I only wanted to help. The communication of my expectations could have been more precise and, as a result, ineffective. My sole focus was on the next pressing task.
I also am the most senior woman partner at a very, very large accounting firm and felt even more pressure to be perfect, when in fact; I had people under me quitting left and right. I felt scared and stuck, with no way out.
Coach Ellie is a miracle worker. My first meeting with Coach Ellie took place 5 ½ years ago. She taught me how to communicate clearly with my staff, partners, and clients. Now, I let the staff and partners take ownership of their part of the business and as a result, my business runs more efficiently! I am more realistic about what I can take on and do not feel guilty about stepping back or saying “NO”. I now establish healthy work/life boundaries. I am finally enjoying my life because it is not just centered on my work goals; I also have a life! I now feel more in balance with myself.
I have also learned a better, more effective way to pitch new business, make my division more profitable, and have my clients accomplish more. I would be lost without her.
She also has been asked to speak at our corporate retreats many times. She is no-nonsense, charismatic, smart and funny. She is also authentic and passionate about the topics she presents and we discuss. She can command a big room full of primarily male accounting partners and make everyone feel at ease. Her workshops are always chock full of lots of material- I take copious notes.
To get the most out of coaching, I quickly realized that I needed to do what the coach and I agreed upon. I always get great value from our sessions and am continuing to learn and grow. After each session, I incorporate what we have decided on into my practice. This has enabled me to grow and strengthen my CPA practice and my division in the company. Each coaching session, motivates me to make the next change in the form of a strategic plan and to do in the form of implementing the change.
Coaching has had immeasurable value not only to me but also to my company, my business and my team. I highly recommend Coach Ellie as a great business and executive coach.”

"When I started working with Coach Ellie Marshall in January 2021, I didn’t realize how much my life was about to change. I was stuck in a cycle of late nights, constantly working and barely seeing my three kids, all under the age of 8. Ellie immediately zeroed in on the problem—time management—and within six weeks, I was home by 5:00 p.m. every day. That alone was life-changing. For the first time in years, I could enjoy family dinners and bedtime stories.
Coach Ellie didn’t just stop at fixing my schedule; she transformed my business. By shifting my focus to revenue, cash flow, and more innovative marketing, she helped me make an extra $744,000 in 1 year. Her strategies aren’t just practical; they’re powerful.
Now, I’m working less, earning more, and finally enjoying the work/life balance I always wanted. Every session with Ellie brings value, and the investment has more than paid for itself. If you’re ready to take back control of your business and your life, there’s no better coach out there than Ellie."

“Coach Ellie has been my coach for the past 2 years and I have to say my business would not be running as smoothly if it was not for her.
My team was in total disarray and I knew we were losing money. Coach Ellie made me look at my financials, and together, we figured out which divisions of the company were most profitable and which products to drop. I stabilized my financials and finally made a profit of over 138%! My team is also running much more smoothly.
I recommend Ellie and her coaching to anyone who wants to really get a handle on their business, get a stronger team, and experience more profit. Coach Ellie is worth every penny!”

“When I first met Coach Ellie, I had my HVAC business for 15 Years. On the 16th year anniversary it was plain to see that I was doing something wrong. I hadn’t had any growth in the last 4 years and I was tired of coming into work.
I saw her speak at a large trade event and knew at the end of that presentation that she was what I needed to move my business forward. She had all the tools like marketing, profit & loss knowledge, team unity, etc. Like most people who own their own business, I was a technician in my particular trade, and I found it exciting to own my own business. I think the biggest epiphany I had was that I couldn’t do this without help. Someone must teach me how to run and GROW a profitable business. After meeting her, I knew Ellie was the person. She even agreed to coach me at 5:30 AM so I could still work in my business.
When I tell people about Coach Ellie the first thing they ask is how much? I tell them, and then they say they can’t afford it. What I tell them is that within 5 months of working with Coach Ellie, my revenue went up by over 187% and she paid for herself. I also finally broke through a big barrier and made over $1,000,000 within 9 months.
Next, she encouraged me to move my operation into a much bigger space at a better location. Following her steps (which you must do) I saw more overall growth in my business in 5 months than I have in the past 9 years.
Every week, our meeting is like a shot of adrenaline. It makes me accountable for the growth of my business, as well as my life. Oh, and that’s another part of the equation… You work on yourself. You find out more about who you are. Ellie is my mentor, friend, my motivator…. Best coach on earth and she knows business planning and how to set goals that skyrocket your bottom!”

But what really stands out is her commitment. Ellie is always there when we need her, with smart, actionable advice that gets results.
