More About Ed Toups:

It’s easy to get lost and overwhelmed in the technical jungle of a modern day business, but Ed has the uncanny ability to bridge the gap between this fairly technical experience and his local small business owner and online niche entrepreneurial roots.

Early on, Ed discovered most people need only a few tweaks here and there to have the lifestyle and business success they dreamed of. Ed’s laid-back style combined with his knack for seeing the path of least resistance along with his no- nonsense approach for seizing and executing “low hanging fruit” opportunities have helped him and his clients get the results they want quickly. Ed makes things simple for clients who feel “stuck” and not getting the results they expect, but are ready and anxious to make a LEAP forward in their business careers.

When consulting with small business and online entrepreneurs, Ed collaborates with his them to create the most effective offline and online plan of action and outlines the step-by-step tactics and strategies needed to get the profits and results they want.

Ed learned first hand in the Small Business and Internet marketing trenches that you don’t have to be wealthier, work more hours, work harder or even be smarter than everyone else to have success in the modern world…you just need the foresight to know where you want to be and simply make the wise decisions that lead you there.
