I’m proud of my clients’ success.

After a long career in the corporate machine and not ready to retire, I decided to research and explore franchise ownership. Being a professional in the shipping industry, I knew I had much to still to give but didn’t know exactly where to start. Luckily for me I came across entrepreneur coach Patricia McGraw. Patricia is an excellent resource for someone who is looking for a change but doesn’t know exactly where to start. Patricia has an ability to listen with the intent to understand not to respond. Her caring approach and keen sense of direction is so valuable to someone looking to invest in the rest of their life. She has provided a clear direction to me when I so desperately needed it.  Her abilities are unmatched as she dissects your skills to a clear path to business ownership. Patricia will provide you with a vision to establish short- and long-term goals while matching you with franchise opportunities that will enhance your own abilities. I am so fortunate to have found her when I did and proud to not only call her my Coach but also my friend.

Wearing many hats in my career has been the norm, but life shouldn’t be that complicated.  After working from the ground up and becoming an executive for over 35 years plus between the northeast and southeast areas, I found myself unfulfilled and making lots of money for others that didn’t appreciate it.  After reaching my late 50’s, I became more and more concerned that something drastically needed to change and retirement was not an option.  I wanted a new venture that would be fulfilling and that I could leave a mark for my family. I considered taking another shot at the day to day corporate grind, and I worked hard on finding another position, but all I would hear was, you are overqualified or we found someone else that best matches what we are looking for, which really means, we are very intimidated by what you are capable of doing and you might take our job,  When Patricia reached out to me I thought this would be another sales pitch.  I had worked with other coaches previously.  I feel Patricia completely understood my style and personality and has helped me to hone in on my possibilities and best match.

I completely trust Patricia and the process she used to help me find clarity in my next move.  The Entrepreneur’s Source has a great process to help you explore and find that match where you can best shine.

 

Best Call I Ever Made- Joel Sanchez

“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.”
