I’m proud of my clients’ success.

Upon the loss of my job, John out of the blue contacted me through email. Working for Entrepreneur’s Source, John, introduced himself and I was able to present my situation to him. Being ever frustrated with the hassle and frustrations of finding another job, John introduced me to franchising. He also provided several reference books on franchising and starting a new career. After reading the books those books, I felt that they clearly and accurately defined my current career struggles, and offered great recommendations. John also incorporated some personality tests to see which career/job I would be perfectly suited. I really appreciate John’s patience and understanding throughout our sessions. Even if you have a good job, it may be good just to consult with John as a feedback source to bounce off things off him that may place you in a better position to appreciate your Career 1.0 or help you move onto a Career 2.0. I have now bought my franchise and I am ready to proceed forward. Thanks John!

Mike Suwa – Laguna Niguel, California

I would like to extend my highest recommendation for John Boland as a career and entrepreneurship coach! I first met with John after my company had a massive layoff, and I was really unsure of my future. John reached out to me and asked if I had ever considered starting a business. He took me through a process of better understanding who I was and then discovering and selecting opportunities that aligned with my interests. I remain in contact with two of those opportunities and am looking into becoming a franchisee in the near future. I would have never known that was possible without John’s help. John has a patient and friendly coaching style that could make anyone feel comfortable. He is happy to answer questions, and you can tell he cares for the people he coaches beyond just their career choices. I highly recommend John for your career/entrepreneurship coaching needs. He truly goes above and beyond expectations!

Nicholas Wright – Savannah, Georgia

I had the pleasure of working with John as my career coach over the past few months, and I can confidently say his guidance has been invaluable. He helped me think outside the box when exploring new opportunities and also provided a broader perspective on potential career paths I hadn’t previously considered. John’s approach is calm, professional, and insightful; he truly listens with empathy and understands your unique circumstances. His ability to encourage and support while offering practical strategies has been very impactful and provided me a clear framework for my career goals and a deeper appreciation for the strengths I carry forward in my journey. I genuinely enjoyed working with John and look forward to reconnecting in the future. Needless to say, I highly recommend him!

Katalin vonBerg – Walnut Creek, California

I had the pleasure of working with John and I could not recommend working with him more! We explored, identified and defined values, skills, and personal goals to set me up for success! His caring demeanor, patience, professionalism, and quality time stand out in a fast paced working world. I highly recommend connecting with John to explore your personal and professional opportunities. John has the key to unlock your full potential and introduce you to your next chapter.

Karen Bocaletti – Whippany, New Jersey

I found myself at a crossroads career-wise and was lucky enough to have had John find me. I had always thought of owning my own business however as life went on I found it harder and harder to justify. John did an incredible job of not just explaining to me the benefits of franchising models, but related it to my particular situation and goals in life. He helped me learn and accelerate my education on the concept of franchising, always being careful to not steer but rather ensure my understanding was appropriate. He was a great sounding board and mentor throughout the process and I’d be happy to tell anyone that they need not look any further than John Boland!

Bill Saltenberger – Leesburg, Virginia

I have had the pleasure of working with John Boland for the past few months after we connected on LinkedIn, and he has been nothing short of professional, helpful, and deeply committed to serving others.

His ability to ask thoughtful, probing questions and listen with genuine empathy helped me process my thoughts and make decisions with confidence. Through his guidance, I was able to achieve a clearer understanding of myself and the path forward.

Working with John was truly a rewarding experience, and I highly recommend him to anyone seeking to better understand themselves and their future. His expertise and approach are invaluable.

guide you to where to find the answer. I would highly recommend working with John

John was absolutely fantastic as I started my career ownership journey. He gave me his full attention, treated me like a whole person, and got to know all the different factors impacting my life and career decisions. I’d recommend anyone speak with John, go through the career and guiding principles exercises, and think seriously about what the best next steps for them are – before you jump right into the next job that knocks at your door. You won’t regret it!

He has you complete a quantitative assessment of your strengths, interests and goals, then develops a qualitative assessment, through several conversations, to match potential opportunities that would be the best fit and meet your goals.

Pat Nasshorn – United States

It was a pleasure being coached by John!

His insight, direction and encouragement were extremely helpful and his patience to enable me to see several potential opportunities in front of me was greatly appreciated.

John helped me to focus on what’s most important and make the best choice for the current state while always maintaining focus on what the future end goal is.

Len Mandel – West Palm Beach, Florida

I recently began looking for a position in a new industry. This is a major undertaking for me as I have been in the same industry successfully for 28 years. Basically my whole career. John began working with me which he did not charge me for and it was extremely helpful. He took the time to get to know me and gave me some tests to take. Once we discussed all my results I really learned a lot about myself and the way I think and operate. He also gave me some amazing pointers as I did not get some positions I had hoped for. I firmly believe that the position I am about to begin was obtained with the help and guidance of John. I also know had I not gotten a position he would have had a network of possibilities to help make a match. I would recommend anyone looking to get a new position whether in a new industry or not to work with John and you will wind up getting the best possible outcome.

Josh Stone – Knoxville, Tennessee

John and I had three conversations, all of which I found helpful in my current explorations of opportunities and careers. An assessment that John proctored provided insights into behaviors and motivators that were revealing, in part because I’ve encountered these with potential employers and have wondered about what they see. John was very encouraging, supportive, and did not push any single agenda. Although we do not plan to talk about strategies toward “career ownership” in the immediate future, I’m glad to be in John’s network of contacts.

Ian Read – United States

John Boland is an amazing coach & mentor that I would recommend to anyone who is searching for their next adventure, and to those who think they have everything already figured out. The fact is, that none of us REALLY know all the options we have in our career because we don’t have the time to try many of them out.

During my sessions with John, he got me to open up to myself and understand that I had a great many choices for my next adventure as he mentored me through a number of questions about myself, my life, my career and my ambition.

At this point I am considering a number of options, including those that John thought I might be interested in. He’s given me the insight into my own personality and behavior as well as a means to expand my knowledge and experience. I am very grateful to him for opening my mind to new opportunities while still giving me the space to discover others on my own. No matter where I end up next, John’s mentorship will be part of the reason I’ve arrived there.

Vincent D’Alleva – Oak Brook, Illinois

“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
