She is one of the best listeners I have worked with – she captured my wants, needs and aspirations beautifully and matched me up with opportunities that really nailed the essence of what our discussions. A true professional and a great human touch. If you are at any kind of career crossroads, call her.

Working with Lisa was nothing short of a high quality experience that exceeded my expectations. She takes time to get to know you, your professional strengths and weaknesses and works diligently to find opportunities that align with your life goals. Lisa is punctual, empathetic, and strategic -all valuable traits when searching for the North Star in your career aspirations.

Sarah K., Customer Success Professional

I worked with Lisa on a franchise concept and had two great opportunities that I was considering, however, a new position that I couldn’t pass up came along and I had to move on from the franchise option. Lisa was thorough, professional and very personable. She was great at checking in on our weekly scheduled meetings and a truly enjoyed our discussions over the past several months. I wouldn’t hesitate in recommending her as a coach to anyone looking at a franchise opportunity.

Scott C., Operations Executive

During a recent period of career transition, I met Lisa and had a wonderful experience working with her to explore business ownership opportunities.

I had explored franchising years ago but it wasn’t the right time, so I came into the process with a good idea of what to expect. Lisa’s approach helped me understand that my assumptions about business ownership were far deeper than just working for myself.

Her caring, consultative approach helped me uncover my true motivations and goals, besides simply being my own boss. She worked at my pace and communicated well. I also really appreciated the assessment and resulting profile that helped me better realize my true motivations for self employment, ultimately aligning business concepts that will leverage my natural strengths.

While I decided not to pursue self employment now, I’m confident it’s the right goal to pursue and when that time arrives, I will certainly engage Lisa to continue my journey.

Don L., HR Technology Sales & Consulting Leader

Lisa, where do I start? She has helped me tremendously over the past month with determining what I should pursue next in my career. She’s been very very helpful and I’m very grateful for her help! I definitely would go through the experience again!

Sebastien V., Customer Success

Lisa is a wonderful coach walking me through the journey of discovering personal career goal, sharing franchise opportunities, and providing helpful resources and unbiased guidance when I need them. Highly recommend Lisa to anyone who is interested in exploring the franchise opportunities.

Charlene C., Real Estate Executive

I highly recommend Lisa as a coach for anyone looking into franchising. She provided expert insight and guidance in a very professional and enjoyable way. I was quite skeptical to begin with, but it quickly became apparent that Lisa was very much on my side as we worked together to find the best opportunities for my situation. What could have been a stressful search became an enjoyable journey of discovery.

Peter C., Senior Product Manager

Lisa was a great resource to me in learning my strengths and weaknesses and goals for my next steps in my career. She encouraged my curiosity and willingness to learn. Although I did not immediately take next steps, I am glad to have worked with her and feel I did achieve personal growth overall.

Casie K., Director of Customer Experience

Lisa is excellent to work with. Although I chose not to purchase a franchise, she was extremely gracious after my decision. She is extremely knowledgeable and well versed in the franchise market and a joy to interact with. Thank you for the education, Lisa! Although it didn’t work out with me, I will definitely recommend you to anyone exploring franchise ownership.

Torry L., Chief Commercial Officer

I have work with Lisa for some time and recommend her for exploring business / career options. Lisa uses her knowledge and experience to:

She does this while keeping you on track and positive. She has the unique ability to push without being pushy. She is a professional with good process and very good intentions.

Her upbeat, positive spirit is reenergizing during a difficult transition. I would recommend Lisa for anyone looking to learn more about how they achieve their professional goals and possibly achieve independence and financial freedom.

William V., General Manager & Leader of People Operations

I’d like to provide not only a recommendation/commendation for Lisa Gustafson, but also my sincere thanks to her for all of her professional courtesy, direction, and guidance through the entire process of reviewing opportunities in the franchise arena and also her solid coaching on assisting me to fully understand (and appreciate) my business skillsets and capabilities.
Candidly speaking, Lisa imbodies the true spirit of helping people explore and achieve their personal business goals. I greatly appreciated her feedback and shared knowledge of franchise business opportunities and helping me understand how I could best plan for my success.
Lisa was professional, respectful, and sincere in her approach and conversations with me and at no time was I pressured to make any decisions that weren’t fully in my best interest. She literally made the franchise review process exciting and educational and also highlighted the advantages of entrepreneurial opportunities.
Because of this positive and educational experience, I plan to keep Lisa as one of my key career/business connections and will continue to work with her in the future.
Thank you, Lisa!! You’re one of the “good” folks!

Keith B., Procurement & Supply Chain Management Professional

Lisa is an amazing coach and a true inspiration! As I sat at the crossroad thinking about what I wanted to do next, she helped me understand my full potential, was never judgmental and helped me discover my next path forward.

I would highly recommend working with her to discover your “You 2.0” and the endless possibilities of being an entrepreneur, especially during these uncertain times. I look forward to working with her again!

Teresa F., Customer Success Manager

Thank you for helping me realize my true potential and happiness!!! I am so thankful for your guidance in helping me achieve my dream of being a small business owner!! I discovered Me 2.0!!! Thanks Lisa!

Wendy Ford, Owner WKLF Capital Inc.

Lisa G. is an amazing coach! She allowed me to take the time and discover what it is that I wanted and encouraged me to pursue it. She constantly reminded me to seek clarity in my decision. I came to understand that only I could make the best choice for me, not anyone else, nor could my circumstances dictate that. I never felt any pressure to choose amongst any of the franchise options provided. When I felt overwhelmed during the process, she was there to support me taking a pause to reassess. I am so happy to have worked with Lisa, and thank her for helping me to start my new chapter as an entrepreneur!

Stephanie Kaba, Owner Schooley Mitchell

If you are searching for what to do in the next chapter of your life, spend some time with Lisa and learn about The Entrepreneur’s Source. You might be amazed at what you learn about yourself and how you fit into the world of business ownership. I certainly was, and if not for Lisa’s coaching, I wouldn’t be where I am today – on the verge of opening one of the best franchises in the country, in one of the nicest places to live!!!

David Edwards, Owner Enviro-Masters Services

I receive a lot of unsolicited requests on LI which I usually ignore, but something in Lisa’s demeanor convinced me to respond. Lisa took the time to get to know me and my goals, and over the course of several months she guided me as I explored several business opportunities. Although the timing for me wasn’t right, I appreciated the time she took and the way she prioritized my interests over sales goals. I highly recommend her.

Jim H., Global Leader & Digital Business Consulting

Working with Lisa was a pleasure. She opened my eyes to opportunities I had never thought of for myself. She was with me every step of the way showcasing what exploring different choices for my future could mean. I would highly recommend working with Lisa. She is kind, articulate, smart and incredibly helpful and supportive.

Sarah M., Marketing Executive & Communications Expert

I recently worked with Lisa for about 3 months as I was evaluating franchise opportunities. I originally met her at a franchise trade show and was impressed with her enthusiasm and knowledge. We discussed many different opportunities, and she really helped me narrow down the choices by focusing on the core needs we identified early on. Each call I had with Lisa was very structured, which made sure every meeting was productive. Her understanding of the franchising marketplace and the challenges faced by potential franchisees was invaluable. She was always ready to recommend ideas to help me overcome whatever obstacle I was facing in my evaluation journey. Lisa is a highly capable, results oriented franchise consultant and I would not hesitate to recommend her services.

Lori C., Product Manager

Lisa is great to work with. Very thought out. Learns about you and provides clear feedback. Highlights your strengths and areas of improvement. She maps out the whole process from beginning to end. Lisa is friendly, kind and courteous.

Philip A., Eastern Zone Manager

For the last few months I have been working with Lisa on evaluation of several franchise opportunities and she has been an excellent advisor and coach. Her process in helping us go through the evaluation was thorough and very helpful to our family in evaluating the potential opportunities. We ultimately identified 4 different businesses that looked like a fit. She made herself available to me at each step of the evaluation, providing guidance, information and ultimately some choices. Her help and guidance during the process were excellent and I would recommend her to anyone looking to evaluate franchise opportunities and really work through what they are looking to accomplish with this potential path. Thank you Lisa.

Chris K., President & Product Management

My experience with Lisa was as advertised. It is truly a journey of discovery and not at all a predestined push towards a franchise. In my case, I worked with Lisa for over 3 months, focusing on one particular franchise for 90% of that time. I came very close to making a commitment, but through continued counseling and revisiting what was truly important in my life right now, I determined this wasn’t the right thing for me at this time. Lisa helped me grow both personally and professionally. If you decide to pursue a franchise, I know Lisa has the resources available to get you the support you need while you get your business off the ground. She has my highest recommendation and respect.

David M., Multi-Unit District Manager & Retail Store Director

Lisa’s valuable expertise was instrumental in my husband’s decision to launch into entrepreneurship. Her guidance helped ease the transition from ‘stable’ mid-level health-care professional to CEO status of business ownership. She has consistently followed through each stage of the process, providing a nurturing assurance and support. We are grateful for the experience to work with Lisa and easily recommend her ability to help adults transition from employee to CEO of their life.

Chris D., Entrepreneur & Success Coach

Lisa was fantastic to work with. Very knowledgably of helping those like me transitioning from the corporate environment to owning your business. From goal setting session to completion she has been a great resource and true partner. I would highly recommend her to anyone looking to leave corporate America and using a franchise to become a business owner.

Steve Kneller, Owner Commercial and Residential Roofing

To say Lisa is thorough is an understatement. She is meticulous with her craft. Working with her allowed me to understand why I do the things that I do better. I’m grateful for meeting her and highly recommend her. She’s incredibly knowledgeable and friendly.

Vinh Ta, Managing Director at TA Forage Group

Lisa is a master of her craft and I am so fortunate to have connected with her. The prospect of business ownership never seemed to fit into my career path, but with Lisa’s guidance she showed me that there’s an opportunity for every unique situation. The number of paths to business ownership can seem daunting, but with Lisa’s approach the process was clear, manageable and most importantly, fun! Years from now I’m confident that I’ll look back on my experience with Lisa and fully appreciate just how pivotal it was. I would recommend Lisa to everyone I know!

Michael Wasinger, Owner Happy & Healthy Distribution

Lisa is an amazing person who significantly helped me to changed my life for the better. She guided me through the entire process in searching for a franchise that best suited me. She is compassionate and understanding with a unique ability to teach and mentor her clients throughout the entire journey. She promotes and embraces the discovery process as a learning experience and worked with me to make sure I had adequate time and information to weigh all of the options. I highly recommend Lisa K. Gustafson to anyone looking for a new career opportunity. She is one of a kind, and I can’t thank her enough for how she has helped me find a new career path during a time in which I was really struggling to identify the next direction for my career.

Ryan Majchrzak PharmD, MBA, CSA®, CDC®, Owner and Certified Senior Advisor® at Assisted Living Locators

Lisa is such a delight to work with! She has a genuine approach to helping clients transition into new careers. Lisa has demonstrated professionalism when presenting our brand and we very much look forward to working together for many years to come! Thank you for all that you do, Lisa!

Adoniran “Doni” Ferreira, iTrip Vacations

We are happy to offer our recommendation of Lisa Gustafson with The Entrepreneur’s Source.

During our time working together, Lisa was a true professional. Her ability to get to know us and to get to know what we were looking for created a great sense of comfort. As we maneuvered through our educational journey, we could not have had a better advisor.

If you are looking for a new career path, Lisa is the perfect person to help to guide you to your next career.

Bud and Marcie Johnson

Lisa reached out to me when I was down after being laid off. Her inspiring words and ability to provide guidance and focus on individual clarity lifted me up and rezenegized a drive I thought I had lost. With Lisa’s motivating words and compassion, I was able to focus on the needs vs wants and really streamline my priorities to focus on my goals. Lisa, you are a true professional and I will be forever grateful for you being there when I really needed it. Thank you.

Nelson Alequin, MSIT, Corporate Training Manager at TAK Communications, Inc

Lisa is outstanding at asking the right questions to get to know you personality and then conveying some ideas and approaches that could be better suited for your future. She brings an enthusiastic approach to her job and this field.

Preston Corman, Director of Capital Markets at Southwest at Cottonwood

I don’t have the words to express how helpful Lisa was to me through a very trying time professionally. She took the time to get to know me and my needs, and helped open me up to ALL the opportunities that were available to me, by providing me information and education on topics that i knew little about. She provided a guiding hand to help me through the process of performing due diligence on opportunities that were an interest to me, and made sure that I processed the information I was learning in relation to my goals, Throughout the process, Lisa was there as a sounding board, a resource, and a friend. I would highly recommend her to anyone that is unhappy with their current professional situation and is looking to take control of their situation.

Pete Bylone, AFLAC Benefits Advisor

Entrepreneur Source, and specifically Lisa Gustafson, has been a bright spot in my wife and I’s journey into the tradeoffs of being employed or self-employed. Lisa has a unique and engaging manner that helps her clients, or proteges, grasp who they are, where they would like to be, what is the prime motivator for change, and how to evaluate the opportunities. Without this, we would have been lost and may never have considered actual ownership of a Franchise or buying into an Affiliation as an option to us. The process itself generates the ups and downs associated with ah-hah moments and the oh-what-if moments. Through it all, Lisa was available at a moments’ notice and selfless with her time and thoughts. As a coach, she left us to apply the time necessary for exploration of the possibilities without pressure. Even when decisions were made, they were done in our time frame and based on our best interests. There were no demands or time limits, and she was always there to answer questions and provide professional clarity to our concerns. In short, Lisa was a Godsend and we learned so much about ourselves and, to us, the new world of franchises, alliances, and financing. We trust that our direction is clear from here on out, but if not, we also know how to contact Lisa.

Albert and Angela Griepenstroh, Chief Executive Officer / Consultant at Blue Onyx Marine, Inc.

To anyone looking for a bit of clarity on making a big career change, Lisa is the place to start. Her attention to detail and ability to draw information out of you is remarkable. She sticks to the process, forces deep reflection, and is tenacious in her approach. I highly recommend her services for anyone who is interested in learning more about themselves and what drives them. It was a pleasure working with Lisa and I would happily sign up again if the need arose.

Andrew Carniel, Chief Operating Officer at Bridgewater Tile Ltd

Lisa is an outstanding Career Ownership Coach, and an even greater person! Within four months of working with her, and trusting the Entrepreneur Source’s process, I was awarded a franchise. She made this process seem too good to be true, but I am forever grateful that I was wrong in that assumption. Her ability to be a genuine motivator, confidant, and advocate was invaluable!

Edward Lee, Franchise Owner at Express Employment Professionals

At a time in my life where I found myself with many more questions than answers, I was fortunate to have met Lisa. Lisa served me in many roles; franchise consultant, life coach, and friend. I always felt that Lisa was only looking to accomplish one thing- to help me assess my skills and circumstances in order to carefully decide what business decisions were in my, and my family’s, best interests. I highly recommend Lisa to those who are considering leaving corporate life and starting their own business. What separates Lisa is that she has a big heart, truly cares, and has her client’s interests exclusively in mind. I look forward to remaining in touch with Lisa into the future and continuing to seek her advice and wisdom. I would recommend talking to Lisa and keeping an open mind, even if you don’t think that you would go in this type of direction! Thank you Lisa
