Why Trust Your Future With a Career Ownership Coach?

As the franchise market in any given industry becomes more saturated, businesses have a harder time finding franchise owners to help continue their growth. Franchise business coaches like those at The Entrepreneur’s Source work as career transition coaches to help aspiring business owners find a franchise that meets their needs, and help franchisors grow and develop.

The Entrepreneur’s Source (TES) offers several business and franchise-related services including franchise consulting and brokering and franchise business coaching, as well as franchise opportunities for those who want to become coaches or consultants themselves. But what is a career transition coach? Could working with (or as) a career transition coach benefit you? Read more about what a career transition coach is and what they do.

What is a career transition or career ownership coach?

A consultant in any field is someone whose work is to share their experience and expertise in the form of advice. A career transition coach is someone who understands the world of franchise ownership and the franchise industry as a whole and can act as a guide for those with less experience through the challenging learning and discovery processes. Whether you are a franchisor or a franchisee, working with a career transition coach can help speed the process of launching a new franchise with a skilled owner at the helm.

Having a coach to lean on as franchise-owner-hopefuls ask the big questions about franchising and being successful can help them feel much more confident in the discovery process. At TES, we understand that everyone, even the MVP, needs a coach. Regardless of their skill level, those new to don’t necessarily know what they want, what’s available to them, where to start or how to move forward trying to learn it all. A career transition coach like a trained TES coach can help with all of this and more.

Though they can sometimes perform similar roles, a career transition coach not necessarily a franchise broker. A career transition coach’s job is to help entrepreneurs navigate their journey to franchise ownership—they’re not salespeople. They’re coaches and assistants. A franchise broker, on the other hand, is someone acting as a representative of the franchisor’s development team and working to sell franchises for them.

Is it worth it to work with a career transition coach?

As the franchise industry was growing, franchise consulting was primarily focused on augmenting a franchisor’s development team. But TES realized early on that franchise consulting could and should be much more than that. Too many aspiring entrepreneurs have shied away from franchise ownership because they couldn’t find a way to break into the industry. There’s a lot to learn and, before, there weren’t many helpful resources to turn to.

That’s why TES career transition coaches act as advisors and confidants for their clients. Our approach isn’t to help people become franchisees, but instead to help people discuss their interests and skills and determine what the best franchise is for them. They help them every step of the way. In terms of franchisors, they provide ideas and concepts to expand and attract potential franchisees.

We help people like you, who might be nervous about a career change, become more confident through education, awareness and discovery. Our coaches guide them through self-assessment, research and learning to give you the best shot at getting into a career that could help you reach your goals and achieve the American Dream.
