I’m proud of my clients’ success.

“I highly recommend working with Steve Paleck for anyone looking to transition into business ownership. His expertise, professionalism, and dedication throughout the process were invaluable. Steve promptly answered all my questions and concerns and provided regular updates. He’s also not such a bad guy to talk to. Keep doing what you’re doing, Steve.”

Dwayne C. – Illinois

“WOW – where to begin….? From the moment Steve reached out to me, my journey will never be the same! Although I’ve been an entrepreneur in the past, I wasn’t even remotely considering doing it again when Steve first reached out to me. I agreed to engage in an initial exploration chat because I didn’t see how learning more about opportunities could hurt – and WOW, am I ever-so glad I did! Steve was very easy to speak with from ‘GO’, and the entire process of going through various business ideas/options was just like chatting with an old friend – some conversations were just like that, where we didn’t discuss anything related to owning a business, but where Steve spent time just getting to know me and what made me ‘tick’.
I’m so very glad our paths crossed! You see, Steve helped me realize a dream that I didn’t even know I had! I am now embarking on what I hope will be a journey that represents the culmination of my life’s work, experiences and more importantly, my passion!
Even if you decide to go in a different direction, you will thoroughly enjoy every minute you spend with Steve! He cares about every client as a friend and embodies an attitude of helping others figure out what their next move will be – so, whether you go out on your own and bet on yourself, or if you figure out something else, Steve will celebrate your successful journey, where ever it takes you!
Thank you so much Steve!”

Eric U. – Florida

“Steve and I originally connected and met through LinkedIn, and since Day-1, Steve has always been timely, polite, and a true professional! Steve and his firm offer unique services when looking for additional business opportunities and wealth-building. If you’re ever in the market for such, Steve is your guy!”

Connor C. – Florida

“I’ve really enjoyed working with Steve the last couple of months. I’ve been in transition, exploring lots of options, and he helped me explore some ideas I had not previously considered. For example, owning a franchise never crossed my mind before, but he helped me see that there are some viable options out there that align with my values, provide great services to communities, and pay the bills. I haven’t gone down that path yet, but I feel much better educated on the subject. I really appreciated the time he spent helping me learn.”

Kirsten H. – California

“I’ve had the pleasure of working with Steve and the Entrepreneur Source for the past 14 months or so to evaluate new and exciting career possibilities. Steve helped guide me through their proven process to learn more about myself, my strengths, my goals, etc. and connected me with small business owners in a variety of industries until I found just the right fit. I entered into the process with an open mind and had many fun and informative calls with Steve, which ultimately gave me the courage to leave my 25+ year career in Corporate America with a plan to open my own business next year. Steve is a wealth of knowledge and an all-around great person, who I now consider a friend. I’ve learned so much from Steve and the Entrepreneur Source process and would highly recommend it to anyone with even the slightest inkling of a potential career change.”

Ryan B. – North Carolina

“Steve was a great help to me as I was searching for a potential career change. He provided several educational tools for me to review and make an informed decision. Steve allowed me the space and the time to review all options and determine what was best for my personal situation. It is worth your time to have a conversation with him.”

Chris B. – Nebraska

“Steve is just amazing! He listens carefully, has great ideas, and really wants to help the people he is working with. You will learn a tremendous amount by meeting and working with him. He is compassionate and caring, attentive and kind, and very well informed. He might open doors for you that you really didn’t anticipate, which is just amazing. I encourage everybody to work with him and see how his coaching might benefit you!”

Russell G. – Florida

“I can’t say enough about the professional and no pressure guidance Steve offers. He listened with purpose to my story and studied my background in order to present franchise business opportunities that I felt were a terrific fit for my personality and the lifestyle I desire. It is because of his keen insight, his ability to listen, and knowledge of the market that he was able to provide these totally accurate matches for me.  Steve is the consummate professional. He always had time for me and each time we met he was always thoroughly prepared. I highly recommend Steve for anybody looking for franchise opportunities.”

Robert – California

“Steve was a excellent resource; as I had been looking for work after a layoff, he provided me options into a world of franchising. He was very personable, knowledgeable and overall genuine. He found 3 excellent companies for me to review. If you are looking into franchising, I would certainly recommend Steve to have first discussions with as he has a lot to offer.”

Jeff – Georgia

“Steve is a great career guide who led me to a much better understanding of some exciting entrepreneurial opportunities that I didn’t know existed. What he showed me were enticing franchise opportunities that truly fit my interests and personality. More importantly, he always seemed to have my best interest at heart, regardless of whether it benefited his goals.”

Kevin – North Carolina

Steve was absolutely great to work with and showed tremendous interest in my personal goals. I would highly recommend anyone looking for new opportunities to take the time and talk with Steve. If your wanting a new start or just looking to discover great alternatives and options for growth mentally and financially, then look no further. Don’t waste time wondering what if, when Steve can assist and provide you with the professional resources to help you get started on your new path for a brighter future.

Kenny – Virginia

“Steve is an exceptional listener and communicator. He develops strong rapport with others and is able to put others at ease quickly. We connected on career development and he’s assisted me in considering how my talents and skills can be best used in service to others.

Instead of pressure, Steve provided support and empathy, and has been a great resource for me as I bounce ideas around and consider how I can make an impact in my career and life. I trust Steve to be a strong mentor, guide, and advocate. It’s well worth your time to engage with him — you’ll grow as a person and a professional.”

Josh – Indiana

“It was a great experience learning a lot from Steve specially being new to the Franchising industry model. His knowledge and coaching techniques were so well-crafted that brought new perspectives to my vision. Steve, was great in finding the best partner options and also made arrangements to meet up with one of the franchise owners. I must say his patience is commendable and he made sure that nothing was rushed nor forced upon me to take any decision. I really felt comfortable sharing and exchanging my views as he is totally transparent and if you are looking for career guidance or franchise opportunities, I highly recommend to approach Steve.”

Vijaykumar – New Jersey

“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
