Ellie’s formal education is in English and Biology. She has raised
many types of livestock and companion animals, including almost 35 years of dairy goats.
She has over 25 years in business management - in building, managing and reconstructing small businesses. Ellie has had several positions in sales, as well. She believes keenly that the concepts and tools for making urban businesses successful apply to rural business, too. Ellie has a flair for recognizing the need, for finding solutions that are appropriate and presenting them in a way that entertains and teaches.
To that end, she has written two books
(Making Money With Goats and Marketing Farm Products). She has also edited an anthology of stories that celebrate country living
(Stories From Beyond the Sidewalk). |
| In 2005, Ellie began adding more work shops and seminars to teach basic business and marketing skills to people in rural businesses. Her philosophy is that a
workshop should be
interesting and give the participants real-world tools that they can use in their businesses immediately.
Using participation techniques that get everyone involved and examples from rural products, services and animals, Ellie shows her workshop attendees that Business can be not only comprehensible, but also effective and fun. |
