Ella Rivkin Shares Her Journey from $100 to CEO on the Advisor Podcast
Ella Rivkin, founder and CEO of ERPS Group, is featured on The Advisor podcast in the new episode “Financial Freedom Is About Time, Not Money: $100 to CEO.” Rivkin shares her journey from arriving in the U.S. with $100 to building a successful firm, while discussing financial freedom, cash flow, investing, entrepreneurship, and creating greater control over time and money.
Miami, FL, September 26, 2026 --(PR.com)-- ERPS Group founder discusses financial freedom, cash flow, investing, entrepreneurship, and why true wealth is ultimately about having control over your time.
Ella Rivkin, founder and CEO of ERPS Group, is featured in a newly released episode of The Advisor, where she shares the personal and financial journey that took her from arriving in the United States with just $100 and no English to becoming an entrepreneur, business advisor, real estate investor, and advocate for financial freedom.
The episode, titled “Financial Freedom Is About Time, Not Money: $100 to CEO,” explores Rivkin’s experience building a career and company from the ground up, as well as the lessons that shaped her approach to business, money, investing, and long-term wealth creation.
Throughout the conversation, Rivkin challenges the idea that financial freedom is defined solely by income or net worth.
“Financial freedom is not just about how much money you make,” says Rivkin. “It is about having control over your time, your decisions, and the way you choose to live your life. You have to understand what you are actually working toward and then build your financial strategy around that.”
During the episode, Rivkin discusses how she began her career by working for free in accounting while learning English and developing the skills that would eventually lead her to build ERPS Group.
She also shares practical concepts business owners and investors can use when thinking about their own financial future, including how to calculate a personal financial security number, evaluate cash flow, avoid common investment mistakes, and reverse-engineer a financial strategy around the lifestyle they ultimately want to create.
The conversation also explores the relationship between entrepreneurship and personal well-being. Rivkin reflects 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.
“People often spend years building businesses and accumulating assets without stopping to ask what they actually want that success to give them,” Rivkin says. “For me, financial freedom means having choices. It means creating a business and financial life that supports you instead of controlling you.”
The episode covers several key topics, including:
Rivkin’s journey from arriving in America with $100 to building ERPS Group
What financial freedom means beyond income and net worth
How individuals can calculate their financial security number
Why cash flow is critical when evaluating investments
Common mistakes people make when trying to build wealth
The relationship between physical health and financial success
How entrepreneurs can work backward from their desired lifestyle to create a financial roadmap
The interview also highlights Rivkin’s broader philosophy of “It’s All In Your Hands,” which emphasizes personal responsibility, education, strategic decision-making, and creating greater control across personal, professional, and financial areas of life.
