Ernie brings a sense of humor — he’s got a straight-forward, problem-solving approach that cuts right to the root of the issue. – Ryan Scott, PhD
He’s been a phenomenal support in my life with my business & I definitely wouldn’t be where I am today as an owner without Ernie’s help. – Heather Varnau
I’ve built, run, and led a successful business from the ground up — with my own money, family, and reputation on the line. I’ve made the hard decisions, navigated complexity, managed risk, hired and fired, delegated, protected culture through every stage AND throughout all this (I believe) I kept my values front & center.
I’ve also studied business deeply and coached others through it. I’ve worked with over 50 small business owners across the country, helping them make better decisions, simplify complexity, and getting them out of their own way.
I bring all of that into my coaching:
I understand the emotional side of ownership — fear, burnout, isolation, over-responsibility — and I know how to help you move through it. I care deeply, I think & work hard, and I go all in with the people I work with.
“Ernie Schmidt is encyclopedic on anything having to do with business development. He’s as sharp as a knife at dissecting any place where the marketing process or the operational process might be breaking down or cramping growth…” Dan Quinn, PsyD
