I’m proud of my clients’ success.

I knew I needed to make a change, but I had no idea which direction to go. Enter Rick. My first phone call with Rick opened my eyes to an avenue I had never considered; owning a franchise. During my conversations with Rick, I felt he understood my current and future goals. But if you had told me that seven months after our first conversation, I would be leaving my corporate job and purchasing a business, I would have told you that you were nuts. I would NEVER have made this move without Rick’s listening skills, understanding of the emotional process I endured, willingness to answer any questions, and positive yet constructive demeanor.

Rick is precisely what a Career Coach should be; he gets to know you and personalizes the entire process. I highly recommend working with Rick!

There are times in everyone’s life where you meet a person who is going to change your future path forever. I was lucky enough to meet Rick and he helped me transition to a completely new direction for my future. The process is scary and somewhat daunting, but with Rick’s guidance, experience and profound level of of knowledge, I felt like I was not only in good hands, but had a support structure for something completely foreign. I trusted his skills and experience, I felt like he was doing his best for me now.. and for years to come. I look forward to my new normal and could not have gotten on this path without the expert guidance of Rick Arevalo.

Rick changed my life and my career path. I took a huge pay cut when my current employer closed due to Covid. Since I had no idea how long the closure would last I started looking for a new job and posted my resume on several sites. I live in an area that is not easy to commute to a new job location so I wasn’t sure what I was going to do. We were thinking we may have to move in order to take a new job. Then Rick contacted me and my uncertain future turned into a new and exciting opportunity. Rick is a pleasure to work with. From the first call we had I knew I liked him and would feel very comfortable putting my career path in his hands. He is extremely helpful, friendly and insightful. My husband and I thoroughly reviewed a couple of franchise opportunities Rick suggested and decided to buy one. We just finished our training and can’t wait to start our new business next week. I can’t thank Rick enough for turning a negative into a positive that will give my husband and I everything we dreamed of. The rest of my career is going to be challenging, exciting and fulfilling. Thank you Rick. Pam O.

PAM ORR, New Business Owner

“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.”
