Ellen believes hard work is over-rated. Most business challenges can be dissolved by applying these three (3) biz basics...
o Charge more than it costs.
o Be better.
o Stop trying to change them.

Ellen says, "Honorable, profitable business expands peace, prosperity and freedom across the planet. Business is no small thing. We just don’t have to make it such a big deal."

August 25, 2021I'm so grateful that Ellen Rohr was able to come play with us and speak at our conference - The Huge Convention. This is the world's largest event for window cleaners and pressure washers.
She has both energy and talent. She has been in the trenches, and knows how to guide people down the path to their dreams. And she communicates clearly and simply ~ so simple, even a window cleaner can understand!
Hats off to Ellen.
And you, dear reader, book her while you can. She will exceed your expectations

May 9, 2016Ellen was a phenomenal keynote speaker for our annual Small Business Week Celebration. Her story is inspirational and she truly knows what it takes to make your business Un-Complicated!
Ellen was dynamic and had such great crowd interaction throughout her entire presentation. She's high energy and had the entire audience laughing. Her presentation is based on hands on experience with proven tactics that work. I truly believe every single business owner and entrepreneur walked away from her presentation inspired and ready to apply the things they learned.
We had a great time with Ellen and have had tons of positive feedback on her presentation since our event. 12+ stars in a heartbeat if we could, but it will only let's us do 5! ;)
BOOK HER NOW! You will be so pleased!!!

May 9, 2016Ellen blew me away with her manner and magical way of handling the crowd. She immediately caused buy-in with her charisma and confidence. She freely shared her profoundly useful yet simple insight from years of successful business experience. I would recommend her books to any one seeking boots on the ground, practical insights and would not miss a chance to hear her speak at any cost as one is guaranteed to take wisdom away that can be applied in any business with success.

“I believe in business. Honorable, profitable businesses - of all shapes and sizes - expand peace, prosperity and freedom across the planet. Business is no small thing. We just don’t have to make it such a big deal. Let’s address the few things that make all the difference.”
So many business owners are struggling. So their families and employees and communities suffer. Let’s FIX businesses by addressing the core issues: Cash flow and profitability. Rudderless management. Frustrated team members.
How to do that? Ellen suggests, “If you would just stop doing the stuff that doesn’t matter, you will uncover all kinds of time, energy and money.”
Ellen shares inspiring and cringe-worthy stories of how she’s used her no-nonsense systems to transform businesses of all shapes and sized. Get ready! She engages the audience, too, to illustrate concepts and just to see what happens! Your audience will laugh, maybe cry - Ellen is a “Tough Love” business expert! - and appreciate her simple philosophy and use-em-right-now tips. And, she comes from a place of love and service.

Ellen teaches the basics, the few things that make all the difference to your success…bare bones business basics.
As "The Plumber's Wife", Ellen's passion for business literacy began when she nearly tanked her own family’s business. Through the help of wonderful mentors, she learned how to keep track of the money…and make more of it. In turn, she has helped hundreds of entrepreneurs start, fix and grow their companies.
She’s a columnist for the Huffington Post, the Springfield Business Journal, and PHC News – providing “in the trenches” insight that business owners can relate to. Her consulting work led to a position as president of Benjamin Franklin Plumbing, a home service plumbing franchise company. On her watch, the company grew from zero to $40 million in sales, becoming the 18th fastest growing franchise. In 2014, she and her partners started another franchise company, ZOOM DRAIN, drain cleaning and jetting services. Ellen says, "I loves me a dirty job!"
Ellen is also the author of four business basics books. She has sold over 75,000 copies of Where Did the Money Go? – Accounting Basics for the Business Owner Who Hates Numbers, and How Much Should I Charge? – Pricing Basics for Making Money Doing What You Love. Her latest books are The Bare Bones Biz Plan and the mini-book, The Bare Bones Weekend Biz Plan, offering a simple, easy-to-implement program for crafting your vision and turning it into a successful business.
Ellen says, “Business basics are EASY! The problem is…the basics aren’t taught in school. Common sense isn’t common! I have a degree in Business Administration, and I still didn’t learn essential business success skills. I graduated not knowing how to balance my checkbook. I learned the hard way…and my mission is to make it easy for you. You can learn the basics…how to have more fun and make more money in your business. I am happy to help you!”

The Wisconsin Guild of Chimney Service Specialists (WGCSS) hosted our annual seminar on January 20, 2006. Ellen Rohr presented a custom workshop on “The few numbers that make all the difference to your success”. This excellent presentation was a follow-up to last year’s business building seminar, which won unanimous approval from our guild group for this year’s gathering.Ellen conducted the class with a sense of humor, while serious about everyone “getting it”. She demonstrated an understanding of our peculiar trade, with our wide variety of services. Ellen showed us how to break categories down to improve budgeting, and chart of accounts. She impressed on us the importance of pricing for profit, as well as frequently checking the books. I had the pleasure of a private business consultation with Ellen following the seminar. This was valuable time devoted to my P & L income statement, and getting some ideas to expanding my business into the future. Thanks for your enthusiastic approach, with sincere interest presenting the fun of business and why we’re all in it! Call Dana Quigley at (608) 249-6678 and ask him about the positive impact of Ellen’s presentation.

“Ellen covers things that you need to pay attention to. I’ve been in business for myself for 25 plus years. Her program is very informative and well worth it. I wish my wife could have been there with me.”
– Ron Robinson – Meadow Brook Excavating
“I had been through Ellen’s classes before and got as much out of it as I did the first time, or more. Worth every penny. We applied what we learned to help purchase another company.”
– Carol Frank – Tim Frank Septic Tank Cleaning
“The most important part of business is to know if you are making money, or not. Ellen makes analyzing the numbers interesting, understandable…and fun! This course is good for people in service work – they need to understand all of their costs. I’d go again”
– Bill Shank – Spoerr Precast Concrete
“Even after 35 years in business, I still learned a lot. Interesting and fun, you learn even if you are not trying. Her examples hit home. She made you get involved. Her husband was a plumber. They worked for peanuts until they began doing the things she preaches. It’s made of lived experience. Highly recommended, I would do it again.”
– Gary Burnett – Burnett Septic Services
“The best business course I’ve taken. So informative. Very personal. Simplified format that everyone can understand. There are various options offered to aid in your business…I’d recommend it to every business owner.”
– Rhonda Anderson, Southern Ohio Sanitation
“Ellen is one of the most interesting and energetic trainers I have ever seen. She successfully took a rather dry topic and made it interesting. She engaged the group in the training more than anyone I have ever seen! She has great rapport with contractors. Ellen was so good we are already planning an expanded program next year.” Call Sara Christopherson at (612) 625-7243 and ask her about the positive impact of Ellen’s presentation to the NOWRA members.

Thank you again for your enthusiasm and the overall professionalism and quality of your program. I hope our members take advantage of the follow up services you have offered to them! I would certainly be interested in incorporating you and your message into our ongoing member programs! Best wishes, ~Mark T.

“The neat thing about this workshop was it addressed what every contractor has experienced when attending a workshop or a seminar. They typically went to a seminar and got a great idea only to wonder whatever happened to that great idea 6 months later. But, not this time! The whole workshop was built to get things changed!” Call Pete Duesterbeck at (920) 787-3331 and ask him about the positive impact of Ellen’s presentation to Mid State Supply Customers.
