Ella Rivkin Shares Journey from $100 to CEO on Podcast

Ella Rivkin, founder and CEO of ERPS Group, has shared her remarkable journey from arriving in the United States with just $100 to becoming a successful business advisor and real estate investor.

Rivkin’s journey began with a significant challenge. She arrived in the U.S. with no English skills and only $100. However, she quickly learned the language and developed the skills necessary to build a successful career. Rivkin worked for free in accounting while learning English, which laid the foundation for her future success. Today, ERPS Group serves business owners, entrepreneurs, and investors, helping them better understand their financial position and identify tax-saving and cash-flow opportunities.

In the podcast, Rivkin discusses the concept of financial freedom, challenging the traditional notion that it is solely defined by income or net worth. She emphasizes that financial freedom is about having control over one’s time, decisions, and lifestyle.

The episode delves into practical concepts that business owners and investors can use to plan their financial future. Rivkin shares how to calculate a personal financial security number, evaluate cash flow, avoid common investment mistakes, and reverse-engineer a financial strategy around the lifestyle one ultimately wants to create. She also discusses the relationship between physical health and financial success, reflecting on a serious accident that forced her to reconsider the role that health, time, and quality of life play in the traditional definition of success.

Rivkin’s philosophy, “It’s All In Your Hands,” encourages entrepreneurs to take an active role in creating greater freedom, clarity, and control in their financial and business lives. This approach is central to her work at ERPS Group, where she focuses on helping clients build strategies designed to support long-term personal, professional, and financial growth.
