I’m proud of my clients’ success.

I always knew I wanted to be an entrepreneur- I was an easy sell. But Rick wasn’t trying to sell me anything, he was coaching me to find through my own self-awareness, the clarity to envision what I wanted from my future and the future of my family. He has educated, guided, and nurtured my growth to business ownership, never hesitating to place at the forefront, my dreams and security for this adventurous stage of my life. Thank you, Rick.

I never wanted to be an entrepreneur. I hate the unknown. I hate risk. I appreciate Rick understanding my apprehension. We took our time and got to know and feel comfortable with potential partners. I swore this was going to be my husband’s journey and I would be his cheerleader. Rick provided me with an education on how I could be more proactive with my future. I am an entrepreneur now and it feels great!

Becoming an entrepreneur always seemed like a dream, not a professional goal. Having aged out of healthcare leadership and not ready to retire is when Rick crossed my path. We had great conversations of my visions, previous experiences and skill set. He willingly  shared his knowledge and provided suggestions, never pushing his own agenda. This was my journey. He respected my feedback and offered support and information from different perspectives. As we moved closer to a final decision, Rick welcomed my husband into the conversations, as this was a joint venture for the two of us. My dream has now become our dream and we will be forever grateful to Rick for his openness, guidance and compassion. My husband and I are the Regional Development team for a franchise new to the state of Indiana. We are excited to get started as RDs and have the goal of our own franchise in the future.

Thank you Rick!

As my coach you not only helped me gain clarity in my career goals, but also showed me many other ways through which I could enhance my career.  The tools and connections you exposed me to. were beyond my imagination.  I couldn’t have asked for a safer environment which would allow me to comfortably explore my career goals.

“I started with just me and one truck, working out of my garage. I now have four employees, and I am in a commercial space. The earnings potential is pretty well limitless at this point. I am busy. I do have to spend time away from my family just as I did before. But now, if I want to stay home and cook my kids breakfast, I can. On nice sunny days, if I want to cut out early to take the kids swimming, I do. I don’t just have weekends to choose from anymore.”

BRANDEN BOWDEN, New Business Owner

“After working as an executive in the Detroit area, I found myself at a crossroads. At the age of 64, many people are looking to wind down; but I was starting a whole new adventure. I considered taking another shot at the day-to-day corporate grind. I tried to find another position, but my wife and I have always dreamed of owning our own business, so we began to examine the possibilities. That’s when I found The Entrepreneur’s Source®. I feel my coach has developed his communication skills which allow him to listen with true empathy and I completely trusted The Entrepreneur’s Source process. Now I feel I have personal value in my work. I am loving being a business owner and can see the impact it can have on others. The Entrepreneur’s Source has a great process to help you explore self-sufficiency.”

RICK WEAVER, New Business Owner

“I was traveling across the country working in corporate sales and one day I realized that I didn’t want to travel anymore! That’s when I began to think about owning my own business. I began working with my Career Ownership Coach who helped me begin my Journey of Discovery. For me, it was a great process. I was learning about what excited and motivated me, but also what didn’t! That was just as important. I am so happy I went on the “journey,” and was also happy to have my coach along with me. He was a very good listener. He was genuinely interested in my long-term success. and he challenged me to see some things I didn’t even see in myself.”

LEE PUTNAM, New Business Owner

“I had worked for 15 years in the world of corporate finance when I was forced to make a sudden exit. I had always thought to myself, I have this great corporate job, I’m on easy street. But I was really in the wrong place at the wrong time. I had no control over my own destiny. My Career Ownership Coach helped me take a close look at Franchising to achieve self-sufficiency.  Franchising was a better choice for me rather than starting a business from the ground up. I have a good sense of how things should run and customer service but I tend not to be strong on the sales side and frankly, I am not the stereotypical idea-man. A franchise is giving you the playbook, and you have a product. In my mind a lot of the basics have been built, you just need to follow the proven system. When friends are approaching those exit ramps in life, the first thing I tell them to do is to connect with a Career Ownership Coach at The Entrepreneur’s source.”

ANDREW BROWN, New Business Owner

“The first time I met with my coach, I didn’t think I would walk out with a popcorn stand…Throughout my career, I never once dreamed I’d be in the place I’m in now. I thank E-Source for helping guide me.”

BILL BENTZ, New Business Owner

“Being an entrepreneur was always an idea in my head, but to be honest, I thought when I got to the point in my life that I had a family, that that ship had sailed. My wife and I met with our Career Ownership Coach and found The Entrepreneur’s Source® to be a valuable tool throughout our discovery process. Now, as a business owner I have not only raised nearly $1 million dollars for schools in my community, but I work hard, and I get the flexibility to do what I want to do when I want to do it.”
