I’m proud of my clients’ success.

“Michelle approached me on LinkedIn during a recent job search asking if I’d be interested in something “a little different.” We connected and she very professionally and methodically directed and executed a qualification and information gathering process. The next step was to make recommendations based on that process and she found three very well suited opportunities for me evaluate, then made introductions in each company. After a selection was made she stayed in touch to make sure the onboarding was going smoothly and offer her congratulations. She’s stayed in contact ever since on a regular basis. Her thoroughness, professionalism and follow through are just three reasons I would highly recommend working with Michelle if your looking for a franchise opportunity.”

RAY JANSMA, Business Owner- Expense Reduction Analyst

“Michelle is superb coach by any measure! She patiently guided me through opportunities and processes associated with franchising without pressuring me in any way to make a decision one way or the other. Michelle listened to my personal goals and objectives and responded to the feedback I provided to her. She is a selfless person with high integrity and a servant’s heart. If you want to learn about franchising in general and/or want to examine opportunities that best align with your personal goals and objectives, you definitely want to reach out to Michelle. “

NORMAN COOLING-Executive Consultant/Retired USMC Veteran

“Michelle is not only VERY professional and knowledgeable, she is also very friendly. She helped me explore options for a few weeks and during that time her personality, her desire to help and to listen to my concerns were prevalent. Michelle is a pleasure to work with. I strongly recommend anyone who is even mildly interested in an entrepreneur opportunity to reach out to Michelle for guidance.”

SCOOT MOODY-Retired Army Veteran

“I was very lucky to have Michelle as my career coach. I received a call out of the blue after being released from my position at HPE and while I had never thought of starting my own business the idea sounded intriguing. Michelle was very patient as I was introduced to the idea of owning a franchise. While I took my time before I settled on 1 franchise it was Michelle that kept my interest by showing me different opportunities while I continued to look for a professional position in this very difficult market. I would recommend Michelle to anyone that is looking for a career change and needs a coach to guide them along the path of owning their business and being your own boss.”

DENNIS COBURN, Business Owner- Expense Reduction Analyst

“Michelle possesses the perfect demeanor for helping people. I found her to be a great listener and very insightful – taking bits of what I shared and drawing very accurate conclusions of who I am and what I am looking for. She is extremely delightful to collaborate with and has a good balance of encouragement and motivation to inspire. She taught me to think differently about my future and options, and that is something I will never forget. I will stay in contact with Michelle to collaborate and network for my remaining career and beyond. Thanks Michelle.”

BOB FORD- Corporate Leader

“I could not have benefitted more from Michelle Charles reaching out to me on LinkedIn to offer me a new perspective on my career search. Michelle broadened my horizon exponentially by introducing me to unique franchise opportunities that are less risky. Ending my 28-year career in the Army, I never considered franchising due to the huge risks involved. I just wanted to do what I have done in the Army, Logistics Operations, in the corporate sector. I am now more tuned into the opportunities of franchising because of her time, patience, and the options she presented. I also appreciate how Michelle continues to check in on me to see how my job search is going. She really cares and I would highly recommend her as a career coach to anyone who wants to be an entrepreneur. “

JIMMY MILLS, Military Veteran

“Michelle is a wonderful collaborator. She got to know me and immediately understood my needs. Her recommendations were on target. She checked on me enough to help without overwhelming me. Her understanding of matching a client to their individual needs are quite noteworthy. I will happily recommend her to anyone looking for a franchise opportunity”

LISTON EDGE-Senior Management Director/Retired Army Veteran

“My wife and I were considering a career transition and Michelle reached out to us to offer to help. Michelle was extremely knowledgeable, professional, and efficient as she worked with us to determine the best type of franchises for us. She made franchise recommendations that were interesting and gave us ideas we wouldn’t have discovered on our own. She continued to provide advice and resources as we stepped through the exploration process. Working with Michelle to explore franchise opportunities was great. It’s obvious that service to others is more than just a job to her. She’s great at it and I highly recommend her!”

LUCAS JOBE-Executive Leader/ Retired Air Force Veteran

“I’m very please to say that Michelle Charles has been an important part of my military transition process. I’ve always wanted to start a business and do more to help people as a business professional. Michelle has provided countless avenues of exploring new opportunities that are right for me.
