I’m proud of my clients’ success.

Laurie is a thoughtful and dedicated coach who is meticulous in the details and follow-up. I had the pleasure of working with her as I explored my next steps in my career. She kept all stakeholders informed and updated and was extremely responsive. If you need a sure hand to guide you, who will listen and provide actionable feedback, Laurie is the one for you.

Alan McKellar – Denver, Colorado

I had the pleasure of speaking with Laurie over the past few months as my coach. She was truly inspiring, using a variety of tools and resources to help me find my path and purpose in life. She listened to me intently, putting my passions at the forefront to help me define my future. She was always prepared, was creative, and inspired me to think outside the boundaries of what I could be. I learned so much about myself through the process.

I highly encourage anyone who is interested in creating opportunities for their future to engage with Laurie. I don’t know where I would be without her support. She is a true friend and coach and I am forever grateful for her guidance.

Laura Momcilovic – Lake Villa, Illinois

I have had the pleasure of working with Laurie for a couple of months and I am happy to say that I would HIGHLY recommend her to anyone. Laurie is an excellent mentor who is extremely patient, understanding and has a deep understanding of what it means to be an entrepreneur. She helped me navigate my way through making the best decision for myself, without putting any pressure on me and providing only guidance. Amazing at what she does!!

Joelle Palmisano – Providence, Rhode Island

Laurie truly is a Franchise Coach – no play on words. Discovering and finding the right franchise for me was a project that goes beyond simple one dimensional transactional brokering. This process is a big deal and how she handled it did not go unnoticed. Comfortable in a “many hats” role, Laurie was a researcher, a guide, yes a coach, a fighter and even a referee – lol. I had fun throughout discovery and validation and she was Jiminy Cricket every step of the way making sure I never betrayed my own self interests… which are many… and to her credit. Franchisors know her by name which seemed to give me an edge at having their ear because she really acts in her client’s best interest, which only helps everyone involved *get it right.* I feel represented and grateful and suspect that for Laurie, it’s just another Tuesday

Jeff Mauget – Franklinton, North Carolina

I am writing to express my deepest gratitude for the incredible journey I’ve experienced with The Entrepreneur Source, and I want to personally extend my appreciation to you. From the very beginning, I embarked on the path of exploring franchising with a sense of uncertainty, wary of encountering a typical pushy sales approach. However, my experience with you shattered those preconceptions, and I found your approach to be remarkably refreshing.

Your dedication to helping me discover the ideal franchise fit, rather than adopting a hard-sell tactic, has been truly commendable and inspiring. Your role throughout the entire process has been nothing short of impactful. Your attentive listening and your ability to place me in the perfect franchise opportunity have left a lasting impression on me.

I’m reminded of a quote by Lou Holtz that has guided me through the years: “Find something you are great at. Find something you love to do. Find someone to pay you to do it.” Reflecting on this wisdom, it’s clear that simple outlook was your north star in helping me. I want to extend my heartfelt thanks to you for your pivotal role in helping me recognize and embrace this alignment.

Your genuine interest in guiding me toward the right path has made an indelible mark on my journey. Your insights, opinions, and advice have profoundly shaped my perspective and decisions. Your unwavering belief that success is rooted in assisting others to achieve their aspirations is beautifully exemplified in our interactions.

I wholeheartedly resonate with the notion that “you can have anything you want in life if you help enough other people get what they want.” Your embodiment of this philosophy has left an indelible impression on me.

I will forever cherish the influence you’ve had on my decision-making process during this critical crossroads. As I look ahead, I fully anticipate investing in the future, and when that time comes, you will undoubtedly be the first and only person I reach out to for guidance. Your expertise has been invaluable, and I have no doubt that our paths will cross again.

Sam Rose – Newport News, Virginia

Laurie introduced herself to me at a crucial pivot point in my professional life, and I’m forever grateful. At a time when I was seeking something new, but hadn’t yet decided what that should look like, Laurie helped me discern a path forward. Her ability to empathize with my situation and her encouragement to explore other possibilities gave me both space and energy to consider a radical change in how I was finding personal and professional fulfillment. Laurie’s approachability and expertise gave me the courage and opportunity to be fully transparent and to take the time to visualize a different future for myself. I was confident she truly had my best interests at heart, whether that ultimately led to franchise ownership or not. Laurie is very knowledgeable about the business ownership process, and she understands the anxiety that goes with making that leap. I highly recommend Laurie if you are in need of a career coach – she will be a wonderful partner on your journey!

Jennifer Schmidtbauer – Sioux Falls, South Dakota

Thank you so much, Laurie! Jay and I are really excited. We are both looking forward to taking charge of our future! I’m also personally excited to reignite some of the passion that I feel I’ve lost. Thank you for all your support from the very beginning of this journey. I don’t often carve out time to think about what I’d like to do or where I’d like to be, I’m usually too busy focusing on the day-to-day. I’m truly grateful to you for taking the time to get to know me and for introducing the CAC concept to me. It feels like a custom fit.

Monica Dulski – Norwalk, Connecticut

My genuine thanks and full-on appreciation for what you helped navigate me to – not something you wanted to sell me, but helping me to find something that I could be so passionate and excited and proud of building.

Ian Faass – North Canton, Ohio

Working with Laurie was a pleasure. She evaluated my current career goals and then presented options for business ownership. Laurie ensured that the businesses presented fit my interests and motives. All the opportunities presented were very good and worth exploring in detail. Throughout the process, Laurie had an amazing ability to consult you on business ownership as well as work with you to achieve your personal and professional goals. She provided open and honest answers to my questions, which I appreciated as business ownership is a big decision for you and your family. I can think of no other person I would recommend to guide you through this process.

Kevin Sari – Covington, KY

I just wanted to say THANK YOU. I really enjoyed my time getting to know you and having you help me find happiness.

Mindy K. – Napa

Laurie has been very helpful and encouraging through the process of starting my own business. I would highly recommend engaging with her to help you decide what is best for you. It’s time to take a big step with Laurie’s help.

David Orsch – Wisconsin

I had the pleasure of getting to know Laurie while I was going through a career transition. Laurie and I connected while I was exploring the option of franchise ownership and little did I know but this was going to be one of my most powerful connections I would ever make. Laurie never took the approach of trying to sell me something, every conversation we had was geared around me and what was best for me which was very refreshing. I have connected with several franchise coaches in the past and every one of them came across as a sales person but not Laurie and that is what made Laurie so different. We went through a getting to know you process where Laurie learned about me and what was most important to me and never pushed anything on me. I got to a point where I was looking forward to our weekly calls and really couldn’t wait to spend an hour talking with Laurie about what mattered most to me. Laurie not only provided me great franchise opportunities to explore but she served as a career coach and to a certain extent as a life coach which helped me realize what I had been missing over the past many years. Laurie helped me get to a point where I knew exactly what I needed to do with my career and working life going forward. I couldn’t be more thankful and appreciative of the time we spent together and if you are considering the option of franchise ownership then you owe it to yourself to connect with Laurie and work with an absolute professional and a wonderful person. Thank you again Laurie for all of your time, dedication, and commitment to helping me find the best path. Your are truly amazing and you made a major impact on me at time where I needed to find clarity. Thank you for everything!

Steve Schoenberger – Reno

“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

“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.”

MICHAEL SCROOPE, New Business Owner
