"I hired Ed Abel as my business coach because I was tired of my business just puttering along. I was spending all of my time dealing with minor details and putting out fires, which prevented me from making any progress to grow my business.
Through working with Ed, we revamp the roles and responsibilities of myself and my team, allowing me time to work on bringing in new business. We also implemented a more effective sales process, as well as determined a better way to educate clients to understanding the unique benefits of the services (not an easy task with my business). Most importantly, Ed has been a key advisor to me as I manage this business... he's helped through many sticky situations with positive results.
All told, I have been able to increase my revenues by 35%, achieving a comfortable profit this year (first time in 2 years)! I couldn't have done it without Ed by my side!"

"Ed... I don't know how you did it but you made miracles happen in just one day."
Ed is a highly regarded business consultant and coach. Attending his one day strategy meeting helped us to identify key business segments we were missing and helped us laser focus our overall business plan for success. Ed has a brilliant mind for building business and a real passion for what he does and it comes out in these strategy meetings.

Like most business owners, I felt we had a "good" plan that just needed to be fine tuned. I came away with new revenue streams that generated consistent income opportunities for our business that had previously been neglected. Ed was "Able" to quickly identify marketing opportunities to help us generate revenue and build a solid client base.
I'm grateful for the time we had with Ed and highly recommend it to any business owner who is looking for solutions to make his/her business more profitable.

"As an individual with an Ivy league college business education, I found the ABEL Business Institute program to be a practical, no-nonsense approach to starting a business. It pushes you to clearly identify the key components most needed at the appropriate stages of your business, something that often gets lost in many other theory-heavy educational programs."

"Living in one of the most vibrate cities around the world awaked my desire to do more, to explore more, to build a better future for myself!
On my search on how to follow my dream of entrepreneurship, I discovered the NYU Class, Starting Your Own Small Business, taught by Ed Abel.
This class opened a greater spectrum of what I need to do to launch my own business. It had me consider things that I over looked in my rush of making an idea a reality. Ed stops you from daydreaming and gets you to see the reality and all the aspects you have to consider, investigate and analyze before you take the big step.
I want to thank Ed for being so willing to guide me on this new adventure. He not only shared with me his knowledge but also inspired me to work hard to achieve my dreams."

"Ed, your clarity and insight has been invaluable to me. Over the past few months you have not only given me the tools to build my business on a solid foundation, yesterday you blew my mind, and I now know where I'm headed. Thank you from the bottom of my heart. I know our paths will cross again in the future and look forward to that.
You make all the difference in the world."

"You did an excellent job with steering my mind in the right direction. I feel excited, focused, and competent. For the very first time in six years I see a flicker of light. I always knew in my heart it would happen, I just can't believe that is finally happening.
You told me that a ship, even when stopped, never really stops. You have to ride the course. The ship (our business, our future) has stopped, turned around, and is moving in a clear and concise direction.
I am focused and I am ready for this journey. Thank you for your guidance."

"Dear Ed, What a week! All of our work together is coming together in a BIG way! Sold one school on Monday! Sold Three more schools yesterday! Sold our first courier company! Sold another School today!
We will cross the 30,000 package recipients mark tomorrow. That's 5 new contracts in one week, an all time record for us. Adding it all up, its like we just got a $17,000 annual raise (just this week).
Ed, your support, guidance, and ongoing motivation was instrumental in helping me reach these milestones. You're a hugely valuable person to have around (for any business owner) and I appreciate having you on my side!"

His own business-building activities are inspirational as well - he knows how to leverage his assets to develop deep impact beyond what an individual can do for themselves. I highly recommend Ed for entrepreneurs seeking to create models for success."

"This email is a HUGE note of thanks to you for your mastermind workshop and for pushing us to commit to starting our groups on or before September 15. Without that push, I may have allowed my gremlins to overtake me and prevent me from pulling my group into existence. Your material, including a structured outline for how to run the first group and an agenda for future meetings, helped immensely. I was aiming for six attendees (a manageable size for my first group) and now have nine totally awesome people participating in my first-ever "CEO Roundtable." (Can I use the word "awesome" for a third time in this email?!?)
Thanks for your tremendous contribution in making this happen, Ed. You always deliver great information, with quality, and I sincerely appreciate what you do."

"In my communications business, I've been interacting with clients for years. Despite that, I still come across sticky situations that could have a potentially negative impact on my relationships with clients and thus, my business.
Ed Abel has become an invaluable resource in such situations. As someone with extensive business and client relationship experience, he has become my trusted business advisor.
Whenever I come across a difficult situation that stretches beyond my experience level, I call on Ed to help me reach a positive outcome. As a direct result of Ed's consultations, my business has performed at a much higher level.
Finding someone who can help you grow your business is great. Finding someone who can also assist in navigating the sticky situations that occur in business -- everyday, is even better. Ed Abel excels in both areas, and is a hugely valuable resource."

"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. ABEL Business Institutes team are committed to my businesses development and that is evident in all they do!"
Vijay Aluwalia
"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."
Alan Cohen
"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."

"I was a participant in one of Ed's first incubator groups for ABEL Business Institute. He was very professional and motivational and encouraged creativity and forward thinking. He created a comfortable and safe atmosphere to share business related questions and bounce ideas off of one another. I really value the time and energy he put into our group and I'm still reaping the benefits. To top it off, he really cares about each and everyone he works with....he's got a lot of heart!"
