I’m proud of my clients’ success.

Susan Mell was my Career Coach and now I can call her a friend who helped me through The Entrepreneur Source discovery process. Discovery really blew me away because I discovered more than I expected or dreamed. You will find working with Susan to be very professional and always finding ways to encourage and also “challenge” your previous thought process. I look forward to working with Susan on projects in the future.

For any professional seeking to cut the ties of their employer and pursue a self sufficient means of income, please contact Susan Mell as your career coach. Susan is proficient as career coach and a natural motivator. A person can work very hard for many years and be very loyal only to find the time served and loyalty means absolutely nothing to those they have believed in and worked for. Susan’s focus is on finding a match for professionals who want to create their own success instead of working years for others successes.

I had the privilege of working with Susan as my Franchise coach over the last 3 month. She did an outstanding job at explaining things step by step, sharing her experience and picking franchise concepts that would be the best possible fit, given my personal situation and goals. Throughout the process she always was highly dependable and leveraged her direct report with franchisors to get all my questions answered, align timing, etc… I would highly recommend anyone new in the franchise world to work with Susan

Dustin Johnson, New Franchisee Owner

Susan did a magnificent job of getting to know me and guiding me to the perfect franchise opportunity. She not only guided me to a wonderful franchise opportunity but assisted in getting me set up with an institution to get me a SBA loan. If I could give her a star rating, it’d be 5 out of 5.

Chance Burton, New Franchisee Owner

Are there days or even weeks that go by where you feel like you don’t get anything out of LinkedIn? When you just stop looking? Well, don’t. Over the past 12 months my successful and profitable business of 20+ years has been crushed by the Trade War and commensurate 25% tariffs and then the pandemic. My portfolio of top tier retail and wholesale brands have been hammered by store closures, bankruptcies, reorganizations, layoffs etc. I’d been struggling with how to move forward – do I try and pickup the pieces or do I start over? Then one day I received an email through LinkedIn from Susan Mell who is a career coach and franchise guru. She posed a simple question, asking if it was worth 30 minutes of my time to learn about new opportunities. Normally, I might have just hit delete but can any of us really say we haven’t had 30 minutes over the past couple of months of sheltering in place to consider future opportunities? So I set up a call with Susan. I listened; I learned; and I started a journey with Susan that has been life altering. I’ve been curious about franchising for a while. I like that it is entrepreneurial (my partner and I have been serial entrepreneurs for more than 30 years) but that there is a proven model, tools, support and significant earnings potential. Over the course of several calls, some personality and skill testing, and a lot of listening by Susan we got to the point where she presented 3 franchise opportunities that were all interesting in one way or another. But one of them checked all the proverbial boxes. It was something I would have never considered or likely even known existed – but with Susan’s knowledge, experience and expertise knew that it might be a good fit. Susan did not push or sell, even though she is compensated by the franchiser that you may, or may not select. There is no up front fee or any out of pocket expenses for her time, that she generously shares with you. She helps you navigate through the pool of over 4000 possible franchises by doing the analysis and screening for you. This would all amount to $1000’s of dollars in consulting fees if you were paying someone for their knowledge, advice and guidance. So, do you have 30 minutes to invest in your future. Are you willing to listen and hear (sometimes not the same) new ideas about where you can take your life? Are you humble enough to admit you don’t have all of the answers, and confident enough to know that you don’t have to? Are you willing to go through kind but insightful self-evaluation? If you answer yes to most of these questions then give it a try. Contact Susan through LinkedIn and set up a call. I can recommend Susan Mell without qualification.
