I’m proud of my clients’ success.

Working with Brad as our coach was an excellent experience. He quickly identified what we needed and helped us connect our ideas to the right resources. He also gave us the opportunity to speak with entrepreneurs and franchise owners. They provided us with greater clarity and valuable insights.

We truly enjoyed meeting Brad every week, and we highly recommend him as a coach.

Thank you so much, Brad!

Iliana Betancourt Chacon – Katy, Texas

Brad reached out to me at a point in my career when I wasn’t actively considering opportunities beyond my day-to-day work. Normally, outreach like this doesn’t lead anywhere, but his approach and personality immediately stood out and made me genuinely interested in learning more.

Over the course of several months, Brad coached me through various possibilities without ever making me feel rushed or steered in a particular direction. He was knowledgeable, insightful, and consistently supportive—always willing to take the time to talk through ideas, explore pros and cons, and guide me through the learning process.

Although I’m continuing to focus on my company and the teams I support, I’m doing so with a broader perspective, a clearer understanding of my options, and an open mind about future opportunities. Whether you’re actively exploring a change or simply curious, Brad is an excellent resource and a true professional.

I had the distinct pleasure of working with Brad Zink as a career coach as I evaluated a return to business as usual vs. other earning paths. The first thing that stood out to me about working with Brad was how he made the entire process about me. He made sure he invested in me, using tools and assessments that opened my eyes, and ensured I was comfortable the entire time before asking me to do a single step. Brad was also a dedicated listener, making sure each session felt personal. Finally, Brad was excellent at walking the line between pushing me to try something and respecting my opinion when I said no – I never once felt I wasn’t being pushed to consider new ideas, and yet I never once felt as if I was being hard sold a solution. If you want to consider your options for earning beyond what you already know, I highly recommend Brad!

I highly recommend Brad’s Career Ownership coaching. He reached out to me shortly after I was laid off from my tech job.

At first I thought I was going to be sold something I didn’t want or asked for, but instead I got something I very much needed but didn’t know I needed.

Brad opened my eyes to the concept of owning my own business by evaluating different franchise opportunities. He was supportive and no pressure. If I didn’t like what I saw, he would not push. But when I saw some really good opportunities he was there to support me.

Many people think it’s impossible to start your own business and doing a franchise is a bad thing. Trust me, I felt that way before meeting Brad.

Now I’m about to open my own business and I couldn’t be more excited.

Ken VeArd – Austin, Texas

Brad is an amazing Career Ownership coach. I encountered him during a time of employment uncertainty and he opened my eyes to possibilities I had never imagined. He did so thoughtfully, always allowing me to set the pace, explore and ask questions, all without pressure. Not only did I learn more about myself, my capabilities and what I can design for my future, I learned how I can leverage my personal skills, transfer my existing skills and design a new work vision and financial security for tomorrow.

I highly recommend Brad to anyone who is considering a change in their work life. He will take the time, help you explore, uncover opportunities and ultimately find you way. A big thank you to Brad for the selfless encouragement he gave me, the time he took to do so, and the
unending support he provided throughout the process.

I had a wonderful experience with Brad Zink, a Career Ownership Coach who contacted me in April.  Brad did a step-by-step process which included a personal assessment and a vision statement.  This process helped to confirm what my goals are for the next five years or more.  Brad also has great resources to assist one with achieving one’s goals.  He has excellent coaching skills.  I recommend you contact him if you are interested in having a Career Ownership Coach.

Michael Ries – Grafton, Wisconsin

“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.”
