“I’ve made several sales, and signed on several clients.  80% of it is due to your consultation. ”    “Your session really gave me the kick in the pants I needed to get this going. I am proud to say that I have launched a store off my site, and in the past two days, have made what would have been a week’s worth of pay at my old job.

I’ve made several sales, and signed on several clients.  80% of it is due to your consultation. The way you helped me realize a vision was truly invaluable.

It’s not a full time job yet, but I’m making money and I’m off to a great start!”

“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.”
“Thanks to your team communication system and focused understanding of work styles, my team is working much more profitably than it was just 2 months ago. My partner Liz and I spend less time on mananging and training, so we can be free to grow the business. You helped us all get clear about our roles in the company, so bottlenecks disappeared and the problems don’t all end up back on my desk!

No more ‘babysitting’ and now I can focus on profits.”

“It is refreshing to find a business advisor who actually has a solid business track record behind them.”      “It is refreshing to find a business advisor for integrating the internet into your overall business plan, who actually has a solid business track record behind them.  No pat prescriptions and no regurgitation of what popular IM “gurus” are spouting. Focus is where it should be — fitting your business around who you are and filling the potholes that are robbing you and your vision of momentum.”

Dawn Ramari, www.AskDrYou.com

“Your comments helped me define my vision, not just for my business next year, but for my life.”      “Before we talked, I knew I was working round the clock. I was happy to work, I felt ‘in the zone’ – but I also felt invisible and scattered, on a personal level.

As we talked, your comments helped me define my vision, not just for my business next year, but for my life. I find myself with a much clearer picture of what I now have to do immediately – as well as how to do it, in order to get there.  And it also helped me identify a very deep source of fear that I’d been blocking. Your insights were so specific to my situation, your business sense so focused and shrewd, that new revelations – ‘Aha!’ moments – kept bursting into my consciousness as you were speaking – revelations I plan to take concrete action on immediately.

I am excited about the clarity of this vision, and I profoundly appreciate the way you targeted in on the ‘Catch 22′ situation that had been keeping me from attaining my goals, showing me the way to not only finally step out of it, but make the ‘darned-if-you-do, darned-if-you-don’t’ potential pitfall I’d been so afraid of actually work to my advantage.

Thank you so much.”

“I finally have a team thanks to Marcia Hoeck’s amazing coaching.”
“I came to Marcia really frustrated that I couldn’t find good people. As an event planner, it certainly wasn’t a lack of applicants but rather I always seemed to bring someone on that interviewed well but then was a total disaster when it came to actually performing in their job.

Marcia took me through a series of steps to change the way I do interviews and it made a world of difference. By applying just one of her techniques I was able to get a way better sense of what the applicants would be like in a day to day position. This was huge for me and stopped me from hiring the wrong person again.

My company is also growing really quickly and all this team “stuff” is so new to me. Marcia totally took the mystery out of hiring, firing, compensation, and her bonus structure is genius! I’m extremely happy with the team I developed thanks to Marcia’s help.

I would recommend that any entrepreneur who’s growing their business, and wants to delegate tasks and work to someone else but keeps doing it themselves because their contract workers and employees don’t work out, hire Marcia to coach them to develop a strong team to support them.”

“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.” “As a business owner herself for over 25 years, Marcia truly ‘got’ where I was coming from in our coaching session. In just 45 minutes she was able to offer specific and valuable insight to help me gain some clarity for the direction I should be taking my business in.  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.  I particularly liked that she was straight up – telling me that I need to work on clarifying my vision for my business in a way that allows me to keep my fingers in what I love about my craft without continuing to be my entire workforce! I truly hope to have the opportunity to work with Marcia again.”

“I realized I was actually the bottleneck in my own business’s growth!”
“’Make more money by letting go.’ That was the first lesson I got from Marcia Hoeck’s expertise on working with a team effectively. I realized I was actually the bottleneck in my own business’s growth! Now I’m able to let go so we work like a well-oiled machine, and our income is up 7%.

I definitely recommend hiring Marcia. She’s a gifted coach, and has been a force in my life. She may be exactly what you need right now.”

“You’ve shown me how adding to my team will actually make me more money.”
“You have identified every fear I have had about growing my business and needing staff — I thought I would have to baby sit them. You’ve shown me how adding to my team will actually make me more money.”

“I wish I had known this information before hiring.”
“Marcia is extremely knowledgeable about team building. She makes it simple and easy, and her excitement about teams rubs off on all around her. I wish I had know this information before hiring my first (and diabolical) VA.”

“Marcia took all the fear out of hiring and building my team.”
“With her step-by-step coaching program, Marcia took all the fear out of hiring and building my team so I was free to focus on money-making ventures and spend more time with my family and friends. In this economy, employers can’t afford to make mistakes with team members — you have to get it right the first time. Marcia should be in every business across the country.”

“She immediately recognized the style of how I manage my team and what I need to do to bring them together.”
“Marcia knows the secret of how to structure a team. It’s not a myth, it’s not magic, it’s not just a dream — it’s something anyone can do. She immediately recognized the style of how I manage (or don’t manage) my team (or how I’m being an idiot) and what I need to do to bring them together. If you are overwhelmed or frustrated with your business, Marcia has the magic.”

“My only regret in working with you is that I didn’t start sooner.”
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’! You made two simple but powerful recommendations I am able to immediately implement and benefit from.

My business is growing so fast, I need someone with your level of ‘real world’ expertise to quickly guide me through this next level of team building to best support our growth. My only regret in working with you is that I didn’t start sooner!  The hundreds of hours and thousands of dollars I’ve wasted in hiring and training the wrong people for my business is something I can never get back. At least now, I have the inner confidence I won’t be making those mistakes again with you as my advisor.  I have NEVER been more excited about building my business and fulfilling my dreams!
