Helping entrepreneurs build businesses that will run without them

"Every time I hear you, I think new things — my brain is sore from you making me think."

— Kim Speed, Purple Moon Creative, Toronto, ON

"It's been an incredible, incredible, experience, working with you.

You got us thinking how we can make things more valuable and be more proactive for our clients. Because of you and the way we're rethinking ourselves, we got two new client opportunities and another new job from an existing client this week, and the enthusiasm and excitement we feel about what we're doing with you reflects when we're talking to our clients and others — it's very contagious."

— Karen and Peter Cronin, Cronin Creative, Nashville, TN

"After six weeks with Marcia, I feel like the paralyzing fog I was in is starting to clear and I’m much better equipped to take my business to the next level."

"Loved this (HOW business webinar) series. I was so excited after the first class, and my thinking has shifted somewhat. I feel empowered in a way that I had not been before. It came just at the right time."

— Scott Souchock, G.Scott Designworks, Seattle, WA

"Thank you so much for, well, everything! You've really helped me clarify some important things in such a short while. You are quite amazing! So glad to have you in my life, and I look forward to our next conversation."

— Tracy Carlson, Right-Brain Brands, Boston, MA

"I'm really happy I went through this with you because I learned so much in such a short period of time. There are connections that are happening as a result of all of this information I'm getting from you — I'm really getting tuned in. I feel really good about what I've learned — you have such strong strategies — and I now have the basis to move forward.

Thanks for everything: your undivided attention, follow-up, incredible wisdom on marketing me and showing me that I have the ability to move forward with new tools to build my business. It's been totally outrageous."

— Lia Scardamaglia, Lia & Company Creative, Derry, NH

"I had a sense of momentum before, but it was unwieldy. Now we're starting to shape and form it to grow, and it's not out of control anymore. I feel like we're steamrolling ahead, and it really feels good. We really appreciate all of your time and your work. This has been just what we needed."

— Sasha Rose, ND, MSOM, L.AC, Wildwood Medicine, Portland, ME

"All I can say is, every time I've worked with Marcia (and that has been several), she has over delivered. She is always exceptionally well prepared. I would recommend her to anyone interested in a coach who has valuable insight and information to offer, and who looks at your business with the same interest she does to her own."

— Cindy Caldwell, Elegant Inner Guidance, Phoenix, AZ

"This (the Power Shifts Report, above) is really one of the most valuable things I've read in the last six months! Thank you so much for sharing this insight."

— Megan Stewart, Solutions by Stewart

“I was shocked. I thought, ‘Oh it will be a fun little course,’ but I probably got more value out of that one class than I have in a lot of classes I paid thousands of dollars for, truthfully.”

— Lisa Robbin Young, The Renaissance Mom, Flint MI

“If I had to choose one thing out of these years of learning all this stuff, if I had to throw away all my connections to everybody else, I would keep Marcia Hoeck.”

— Barbara McCollough, Surrogacy Success, Boston, MA

“Thanks to you, my team is working much more profitably. I spend less time on managing and training, so I’m free to focus on growing the business.”

— Alexandria Brown, CEO, Alexandria Brown International Inc., Los Angeles, CA

“It is refreshing to find a business advisor who actually has a solid business track record behind them.”

— Dawn Ramari, Ask Dr. You

“Marcia is one of the strongest coaches I’ve ever worked with. I got the most value in such a short period of time — so whatever she’s got, you need to sign up for it.”

— Lorrie Morgan Ferrero, Red Hot Copy, Los Angeles, CA

"It’s been great. I’m feeling more confident talking to people about my business, and finding clients in places I didn’t expect. I took my kids to the dentist and found myself talking to him about business, and we may be doing some work together.

A big a-ha for me has been finding out what makes us different, and what our clients value us for so we can talk about it — I couldn’t have found that on my own. Thank you, Marcia.”

— Anasabina Dys, See Creative, Port Coquitlam, BC

“Thanks to Marcia’s brilliant guidance I am now able to identify the behaviour that has been limiting my success as well as the opportunities that have been sitting there all along.”

— Leanne Fournier, DezignSource Creative Communications, Winnipeg, MB

“When I started the program, I was feeling quite overwhelmed and uncertain about how to take my business to the next level. With Marcia’s help, I was able to gain clarity and come away with a good, strong plan to follow. I now understand exactly what I need to do to hit my target for next year — and I know I can do it!”

— Debbie Pokornik, Empowering NRG, MB

“The coaching sessions jump-started my creative thinking with out-of-the-box ideas for growing my business. I am no longer tied to traditional ideas about sales. I have built a system for referrals that works with my lifestyle and goals for the future. Within two weeks from our discussion on sales, I had 4 new prospects and 2 appointments booked.”

Christine Jowdy-Milot, Milot Marketing and Design, CT

“Marcia, you are an angel! In only our first two strategy sessions with you, you were able to immediately see things about the way we run our business and lead our staff that were hidden in our ‘blind spots’! I have NEVER been more excited about building my business and fulfilling my dreams! My only regret in working with you is that I didn’t start sooner.”

— Joe Criso, The Birth Boutique, Denville, NJ
