I’m proud of my clients’ success.

I worked with Tim when I was exploring business ownership through franchises. He has a very kind and patient approach, and led me step by step through the process of assessing my background and skills through to evaluating the business options that fit my requirements and goals. He suggested some really good brands for me to evaluate and was diligent in tracking with me to ensure they fit my goals and lifestyle. I highly recommend working with Tim if you’re considering business ownership!

I can’t thank Tim enough for the coaching and mentoring he provided during a career “what if” moment for me! He is caring, patient and very candid about his own career journeys and this makes him relatable and endears trust in all those he works with. Through Tim I was able to explore career ownership and was able to gain insight into many possible business opportunities and other income streams. All thanks to Tim and if you are thinking of working with Tim- Don’t hesitate!

I had the opportunity to work with Tim and appreciated his structured approach to career coaching. He follows a clear framework with exercises that help explore transferable skills, set long-term goals, and navigate career transitions. His coaching is particularly valuable for those considering non-traditional career paths, such as freelancing, entrepreneurship, or other non-W2 roles. He is genuinely invested in helping people succeed. If you’re looking for a coach who can help you gain clarity on your next step and serve as an accountability partner in taking actionable steps, I’d highly recommend working with him.

Tim Smith was an immense help to me as I explored new and diverse options for self-sustainability. Tim naturally offers in depth insights and concepts to explore for personal due diligence. I highly recommend working with Tim as you pursue your own journey.

Nick Smith – Dallas-Fort Worth Metroplex

“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.”
