David Hall, Monk’s Tractor Parts
ELS® has been a very enjoyable experience. I was looking for a mentor because I was growing
tired of realizing my mistakes after the fact, after the damage was done. I wanted help
in preventing those mistakes.
Someone told me about ELS® and explained that the coaches were local people who have been in
business and could identify with the struggles facing entrepreneurs. It is because of that
hands-on experience that I knew ELS® was exactly what I was looking for. I can discuss my ideas
with my coach, and now I have additional insight to help me think about my decisions. This input
helps me avoid making new mistakes or eliminates making the same ones over again.
Six months before I became an ELS® client, I moved my business from a rural site to an urban
location. My coach suggested ways to publicize and market my business. Some of the ideas
suggested I had never thought of before. I received advice to increase revenues by looking at
what was right and what was wrong with my business.
Before ELS®, I was running the business out of a check book. Together, with my coach, we
concentrate on the fiscal numbers and their meanings. This is paramount in gauging my decisions
to make better, more informed judgments about the business. Without ELS® I wouldn’t have facts
and figures to back up my choices.
Steady growth is evident in my numbers. In 2006, total revenues were $192, 000. In 2007
revenues grew to $310,000, and as of late summer 2008, the business has grown even more at
$470,000.
