I’m proud of my clients’ success.

I would highly recommend Jeff as a coach. He assisted me with navigating through some career choices. We discussed my work experience to help me get to the next level in my career path. He was an excellent communicator and listener. The assessments, resources and assignments were simple and thorough. I agreed with the feedback he provided and sincerely appreciated his approach and analysis to guide me. I believe these conversations will benefit my decision making process in the future. If you are seeking a coaching conversation from an unbiased source I would recommend you reach out to him.

KIMBERLY RAE DUNCAN

I had the pleasure of meeting Jeff at a time of career transition for me. I am filled with gratitude for connecting with him. I would highly recommend Jeff as a Career Ownership Coach. The self-assessments and ‘You 2.0’ provided by Jeff led me to the most in-depth self-discovery I have encountered in several years. I eagerly looked forward to my one-on-one meetings with Jeff as we explored meaningful and relevant facts that I did not even know about myself. Jeff’s expertise is clearly as a welcoming, nurturing and guiding partner as I was able to move through the one-on-one coaching sessions at my own pace and comfort levels. Jeff’s honed skills to respectfully share unbiased and previously unknown findings with his clients became visible on my path of self-discovery. Jeff challenged me to reach, stretch and grow beyond my comfort zone: that practice brings an amazing feeling of joy on the other side to the practitioner. The greatest magic happens outside of one’s comfort zone. Jeff’s expertise as a coach and his ability to shine a light for others is evident early on in his calm and consultative professional demeanor. In my 30 year corporate HR career, I am often called to help senior leaders and business owners make informed decisions about the ‘people’ in their businesses. Jeff walked me through a detailed self-discovery affording me the opportunity to make an informed decision about my career future: it was all about me, my goals and how I can achieve them. Jeff earned my trust and I count Jeff as a valued and lifetime friend today. Jeff’s contributions to my professional growth are similar to those of brilliant mentors and close friends that have invested time in me throughout my career and lifetime. It is so rare in life to find a trusted friend, unbiased coach and valued mentor. Jeff is a keeper in my book and I look forward to remaining connected. Thankful, I am, for Jeff in my life.

CLINT BOLDT

Jeff was a contact of mine before he became a business coach and franchise advisor. We both worked for companies in the same space and when I saw that he had made the transition to Entrepreneur’s Source, I was curious to find out why, From our first conversation, I could see the joy and energy that Jeff was taking from his work. He clearly loves what he does.

I was so impressed with what Jeff shared in our first chat that I went on to explore several very interesting franchise options. We talked a lot about the fit for me and franchising, in general, using some of the free diagnostic tools that he makes

Jeff is well-versed in the franchisors he represents and he can speak plainly about the pros and cons of each for the individual he is working with. There is no pressure and no judgment from Jeff. He is there to help and he believes
that it has to be right for you or it is not going to be a good decision.

If you are thinking of taking the leap into business ownership, I would highly recommend that you meet with Jeff Weidauer. He will help you and you will enjoy working with him.

BILL LYNCH

Jeff is a gift. He came alongside me during a time when I was exploring different career paths and helped me to identify what was most important to me – not only in my career, but also my personal life. He and I explored possible career options that were in line with that vision, and identified a few paths that I am still exploring.

Working with Jeff has been easy. We initially spent time diving into my interests, looking at how I work, what type of work I enjoy most, what I value, the things I wanted my life to make room for, my financial goals, etc. He asks great questions, all of which led us to dig into career paths closely aligned with my personal and professional goals.

It’s been a pleasure knowing and working with Jeff. I highly recommend starting a conversation.

JESSICA DODSON

Jeff was a great coach for my exploration of entrepreneurship. He worked at my pace, offered the right kind and amount of support, and offered me a lot of helpful information while I explore different opportunities. If you have any desire to learn more about entrepreneurship I would highly recommend you schedule a meeting with Jeff.

JENNINE ELARDO

I had the pleasure of working with Jeff recently, it was an amazing process. Jeff helps you see that you are more than just the skills on a resume and really helped me explore some wonderful opportunities.

MEGAN PFEFFERLE

Jeff is very straightforward and honest, and helped me think about myself in ways I hadn’t before. He didn’t waste my time: discussions with him were always profitable, and he was honest when he felt that working close together was no longer effective.

BRIAN MULLENIX

When Jeff Weidauer was first mentioned to me, I was initially guarded. After only a few minutes I realized that I had nothing to lose and a potential lot to gain. I started the journey of possible entrepreneurship with Jeff. During the journey, I learned a lot about myself that I did not realize. This is not just about what the opportunities were (which were broader than I realized), but things about myself that I use for the rest of my personal and professional life. Thank you Jeff for the time we spent and for your help in understanding myself a little bit better

JASON CRONIN

I was super suspect and skeptical when Jeff Weidauer reached out to me. I didn’t know who he was, why he was calling me, and for sure I know nothing in life is free. Jeff is a really great coach and had the patience to work through the journey with me. You don’t know what you don’t know.

I knew virtually nothing about franchise opportunities. I am always interested in new opportunities, learning new things, and am glad I took the time to work with Jeff and learn from him. He connected me to resources and presented possibilities I had never even considered before. He encouraged me to keep an open mind and explore.

With his guidance, I ultimately found a great fit for my goals and my future. I’m so thankful he found me, helped me find my way, and I highly recommend him to anyone at a crossroads in their career!

AMY ARNOLD

Jeff helped me learn a lot about alternative career paths and options that are available to open and run your own business. While the timing wasn’t right for me to pursue this option at the time, Jeff was fully supportive and understanding of my decisions. Over the course of the 5-6 weeks we were meeting, I found Jeff to be extremely knowledgeable and always friendly; if I do plan on pursuing business ownership in the future, I will absolutely reach back out to him.

BENJAMIN BUKOWIEC

I say it never hurts to talk and I am so glad I did talk to Jeff. In 4-5 weeks with Jeff, I learned a lot about myself, but more about the state of the economy and the workers who are going to choose their own path and make their own way. Jeff dropped nuggets of valuable statistics and quotes from different schools of thought and groups that helped enlighten me to the options available. In a laid back conversational way, Jeff introduced me to the world of franchising and even though that’s not the path I will go down today, Jeff still has an interest in my success and even pointed me to some good small business/ mentorship groups as we parted ways for now.

KEVIN REILLY

I enjoyed working with Jeff for the past few weeks. Whether you are looking for a career transition or not, Jeff has the tools to help you learn more about yourself as a professional and where you might want to take your future. Better yet, it doesn’t cost a dime.

JOHN HUBER, PE PMP

I appreciate the time Jeff spent introducing me to career opportunities outside of the corporate sphere. After enjoying several years in healthcare, I’ve become a bit burned out and open to alternative employment options. Jeff helped me recognize I possess transferrable skills and knowledge which could facilitate this change.

Since meeting Jeff, my mindset has changed making me more confident in my talents and abilities. As such, I’m extremely grateful for the coaching sessions provided by Jeff during our one-one meetings.

BRIAN HOMAN

“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.”

MICHAEL SCROOPE, New Business Owner
