Headlights

Culture Matters!

Do you remember being nervous on your first day of school because you didn't know who your teachers or your classmates were going to be? You were probably unsure about how your classroom would look, where it would be located, and how it would feel. Some classroom cultures (usually set by the teacher) were good, whereas others were not so much.

Jump In!

As a Certified Franchise Consultant (CFC), I am the kind of coach my client relies on when standing on the edge of the diving board ready to dive in. When it feels scary to jump, that is exactly when to jump; otherwise, you end up staying in the same place your whole life. That’s boring, unfulfilling and downright depressing.

Entrepreneurship can be scary, no doubt. However, as your coach & confidant who is properly trained and skilled in educating you on the ins and outs of ...

It's Time to Shine

Oftentimes we like to compare ourselves to others, however, it has been said that comparison is the thief of joy. Before the whole world was stricken by the 2020 pandemic, many W2 employees were envious of friends and/or family members who were entrepreneurs.

I work with everyday individuals to help them realize entrepreneurship through franchise ownership. As a certified franchise ...

The Opportunist

Sometimes in life we will experience unexpected circumstances. Wait. Always in life we will experience unexpected circumstances. The question is, how do we respond? Are you more of a pessimist, where you see the glass half-empty and focus on the negative stigma? You're an optimist and you see the glass half-full. Or you could be an opportunist and drink the water while the others argue over the glass being half-full or half-empty.

A certified franchise consultant is specifically ...
