I’m proud of my clients’ success.

I had the pleasure of working with Tim over the past couple of months as I explored franchise opportunities through The Entrepreneur’s Source. Though I ultimately chose a different path, co-founding a gluten-free cottage bakery with my wife, Tim’s guidance played a key role in helping me gain the clarity I needed to move forward with confidence.

Tim approached every conversation with insight, patience, and a genuine desire to help me find the right fit for my goals, not just a franchise to buy. He asked the right questions, gave me space to think, and offered valuable frameworks that helped me understand what I truly wanted in my next chapter after retiring from federal service.

I’m grateful for his professionalism and his steady support throughout the process, and I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend him to anyone at a career crossroads or considering business ownership.

Working with Tim Stiff of The Entrepreneur Source was such a great experience! He really took the time to get to know me and helped me figure out what I want to do with my professional life. His advice was super personal and practical, and he opened my eyes to opportunities I’d never thought of before. It was such a game-changer for me! Exploring new opportunities is scary, but Tim made it not as intimidating.

MELISSA MAIER

I have to admit that when I was first contacted by Tim, I was skeptical. But… after being flung into the unemployed for the first time ever, I was talking to anyone. But with the Entrepreneur Source, the whole concept seems a bit out of my range. But I had the first meeting with Tim. Then another. And another. Had several actually. And after going through things, I am thoroughly impressed.

Tim was able to identify extremely good fits for me; frankly, even matching to me one particular opportunity that I would not have picked. He did this through genuine empathetic conversations and questioning. He actually listens. He probes at areas of interest and comment, takes it in and distills it down to great opportunities.

While I did not pursue one of the opportunities at this time, I am fairly confident that my involvement isn’t “no, never” but rather “not right now”. I could certainly see me doing one in particular franchise in about two years. And as Tim got to know me so well, he knows what that is.

If Tim contacts you, take the time to have the conversation. It is well worth it. Overall I had a fantastic interaction with Tim and the opportunities he steered my way.

RANDY BAYUK

Tim is such a stellar person who will help you to look closer at yourself and ask the question: “Who can I become and can I become better through putting my career into my own hand?” It has been such an honor to work with Tim as his experience and knowledge has helped me to move further along on my own career path that I hope will lead to a better and stronger Work/Life balance and financial freedom. If you are even remotely interested in becoming a business owner and take your own career into your hands, send Tim a message and just have a conversation. There are no financial obligations or expectations. When money is off the table, it is much easier to just have a conversation.

JEREMY RIED New Business Owner

Tim is a great guy and his career guidance was really helpful for me. He takes his time and truly works to help his clients find clarity about what they are looking for in their life and career. He really wants the best for those he works with and wants to work together to find the next step. Really appreciate all of his help and highly recommend!

BLAINE NICHOLS

Tim is a true professional and an expert career ownership coach! His passion to help others assess and identify their personal vision and goals for the future is apparent in each interaction he has with others. Time spent with Tim is time well spent!

TRACY DUVAL

Tim with the Entrepreneur’s Source has been wonderful to work with. I was first exploring a new opportunity or work career when Tim reached out to me to schedule a brief conversation about what I was looking to do. I was a bit skeptical at first and didn’t plan on going into the conversation with any hopes of changing my current career status. After a brief15-minute phone conversation with Tim, I was intrigued by his ability to hear and listen to where I was at in my lifestyle and job needs, looking to explore a better opportunity. I continued to schedule weekly meetings with Tim to not only learn more about owning a business of my own but also learned a lot about myself and what I am capable of. If anyone has an interest in taking on not only a whole new career but a lifestyle change, I highly Recommend Tim Stiff.

TRACY SATTLER New Business Owner

Tim was very professional and well organized. I really enjoyed the conversations we had and learned a lot about the franchise industry and about myself at the same time. It was an enjoyable experience and would highly recommend Tim.

BRAD CLAYCAMP

Tim reached out to me to share franchising opportunities. Over 2+ months, he helped me evaluate the potential across several brands which helped me determine my direction while transitioning. Tim is a boatload of information, and a wonderful business coach to work with. I highly recommend him for folks exploring new chapters/investment options to further their career.

RAMESH LEKSHMYNARAYANAN

As I was in a career transition phase, Tim provided coaching on my next journey in a safe, no pressure environment. Tim was open and approachable which made it easy for me to reach out with any questions or concerns. I recommend Tim to anyone needing help with a career transition.

 

ALBERTO TORRES, Jr. New Business Owner

Tim was a patient, gracious, and insightful coach throughout the entire process while exploring franchise options with me. I would be so lucky to have all of my interactions be as pleasant.

MIKE OLSON

I was fortunate to get Tim as an entrepreneur coach when I agreed to explore the opportunity of franchise ownership. I came in not knowing what my next steps would be in my career as I had hit a wall and was working at a job where I felt undervalued. I had always thought about owning my own business but didn’t know what I wanted to do. Tim opened my eyes to franchise opportunities I didn’t know existed and through the process I learned a lot about myself and developed a vision of my future. While I didn’t end up joining a franchise, I would advise anyone looking for a change or next opportunity to contact Tim and have him help you realize your dreams. Tim cares and wants what is best for the person he is coaching. He is a top notch professional and knows what it is like to venture out of his comfort zone and take a chance on himself. Let Tim help you achieve your dream of business ownership.

NICHOLAS FASBENDER

Tim does an amazing job of getting to know you and what your goals are. Tim consulted me on franchise purchase. There were several meeting so Tim could get to know me, my finiancial goals, and my interests before we even discussed a potential franchise. There was never any high pressure sales, just discussions about benefits and concerns and questions to ensure I was making the right decision. I would recommend working with Tim to any friends interested in purchasing a francise.

SCOTT SAYLOR

Tim was personable, approachable, receptive to feedback and asked astute questions throughout the process of evaluating franchise opportunities. Genuine career coach that puts your interests first, even if that means not pursuing a franchise opportunity. If you are interested in evaluating franchising opportunities reaching out to Tim is a great first step.

JARED SHARP

Tim was great to work with. I really appreciated all of the information he provided. Would definitely recommend anyone working through the process with him.

ADAM MIKESELL

“Tim is approachable, knowledgeable, and intelligent, and I appreciate how he cuts to the chase and gets down to business, making the most of both of our time.”

ERIC HERCHENROETHER

“Tim was super friendly and helpful through the process of investigating franchise opportunities. He was professional and helped me see different views of running your own business!”

MATT BOCANEGRA

“Tim has been amazing to work with. He really helps you to hone in to what is your passion and what your skill sets are. He is extremely knowledgeable. He helps to bring clarity to what you are looking for in your career future. I highly recommend him and his services.”

DAVID MILLER

“Tim was fantastic to work with! He listened, provided detailed information, and came back with some good suggestions. I would recommend working with Tim if you’re considering a career change, seems like a great person!”

GREG MCQUEEN

“I enjoyed working with Tim. He is very reliable, thorough, and a wonderful resource.”

DAVE RUSCITTI

“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.”
