From Employment to Empowerment

Having helped thousands achieve the American dream of business ownership over the past 35 years, our network of coaches at The Entrepreneur’s Source have spoken with countless unhappy employees. One of the greatest concerns for employed adults are the “what if” fears;

• What if I lose my job?
• What if my company fails?
• What if I’m injured and can’t work?

Taking control of your immediate income and the wealth you create for your family in the future are primary motivations for why employed adults consider an alternative career as business owners. The equity established with business ownership can be sold to another, or transferred to your family at some future point in time. Establishing a business or businesses that generate profits and income regardless of who is operating it, is a primary goal for nearly all of our thousands of TES Clients.
