"Ed is the real thing in a field full of POSERS. If you are looking for a real business advisor, he is the man. You will get true, solid, practical guidance on how to move your business forward in ANY aspect. He has a rare trait - he has done it himself AND he can pass it on. I've used him myself and referred him. If you run a business and haven't talked with him yet, you should."

"Mastermind groups have become the key to developing my practice and are a brilliant way for me to provide real insight and value to the members. Ed has taught me the nuances of adding significant value to members of a Mastermind group.

"Mastermind groups have been a valuable development tool for my coaching business. They are a great pipeline for new business and also keep me connected to the issues that are most relevant to my customers. Prior to the Mastermind workshop, I knew very little about facilitating a MasterMind group. Ed's knowledge and experience taught me the essentials to effectively run a group so that members see me as an expert and ultimately hire me for additional coaching services."

"Ed Abel shares his passion and inspiration through one-on-one coaching from both his head and his heart. During my sessions with him he was able to clearly identify where the need was and address it succinctly in a way that served my specific needs. Starting a business in this day and age is not a simple task however Ed's strategies and wisdom have given me really detailed ways of handling what I previously named 'Sales and Marketing Boogie Monsters'. In particular, Ed has helped me see, experience and use marketing and networking skills that have worked wonders in my new business."

Case Study
"eenamaria started business in 2004 and as the Owner and Design Director I know I built a concept that was strong in aesthetics and direction. I came from a family of entrepreneurs, so there was no doubt that I was an independent business woman, with the guts and confidence to carry my project through. But, I still felt that it was taking me a very long time to meet the dreams that I had when I opened my door for business.
At this point, I was introduced to E-Myth, Think and Grow Rich and The 4 Hour Work Week. They were all nods to the world that I knew that I wanted to build, that I had seen everyone else in my family build, but somewhere along the line, I felt that I was being driven, but had not been doing the driving myself for some time. This included disgruntled, inefficient employees, lost opportunities, missed deadlines and slow performance.
These are always issues in businesses, of course, but I felt overrun by the failures and was exhausted by the upstream battle. When I started working with Abel Business Institute, there were two impacts, immediate and long term. There was a fast injection of clearing up the mess that I was currently in and because I had grown accustomed to procrastinating, I was surprised by how quickly I was able to fire the wrong people, improve my relationships with the right people and let go of situations that were holding me back. In the long term, I started learning the art of building alliances, on a personal level and on a professional level. Time started opening up on my calendar, hell; I started looking at my calendar.
The MBA group acted as a monthly gauge for measuring the attainment of my goals. I also started to feel lighter and became aware that the talent I had was no longer being wasted, since there was now and organized use of it and I could take the time to enjoy the success that I was having. I started to realize that the only way I was going to get others to invest in my business and my products, was by being the essence of what I wanted people to believe in about my business. I brought in an assistant whose expertise matched my needs, instead of always thinking I had to bring in someone inexperienced and take the time to train them. This lightened my load and I could become a true ambassador and celebrator of my company.
Now, after working with Abel Business Institute for a year and half, with help on everything from emails, phone calls and negotiations to strategizing, year planning and goal setting. I have just returned from promoting my line at the Golden Globes, in preparation for my first show at London Fashion Week, New York Fashion Week as well as my first appearance on QVC. QVC and HSN were in competition for the line and in the end it was QVC who offered the greatest return.
I am getting ready to head to Sundance Film Festival to promote the line this weekend and the world I could only have dreamed of a few years ago is now happening. Beyond building my business, I have also learned how to balance my life and forge a world that easily transits between personal and professional. Trials are now challenges and confusion is now a puzzle I haven't yet solved. A very different perspective from the one I had a two years ago."
