Taking the Leap toward Self-Sufficiency



Gloucester City, NJ (Grassroots Newswire) January 28, 2015 — Along with 
every New Year come new expectations for self-improvement regarding both 
personal life and work. While the economy and job market continue to 
improve and 2015 is finally here, why spend another year trying to survive 
the corporate grind and feeling like you are working on someone else’s 
dream instead of your own? Gloucester City-area advisors with The 
Entrepreneur’s Source, an alternative career coaching franchise dedicated 
to individuals wanting to explore their option to become self-sufficient, 
suggest that it might be time to leave behind the fears of the unknown and 
finally take steps toward self-sufficiency and true work-life balance by 
pursuing entrepreneurship.



According to these career coaching professionals, corporate America often 
creates a rigid and predictable atmosphere for those within and, even 
after years of hard work, a huge portion of Americans are still not 
confident in their ability to save enough to retire. Work satisfaction is 
low and confidence is even lower.

“Finally taking the leap toward self-sufficiency through entrepreneurship 
in franchising will not only offer a customizable lifestyle, but also 
provide you with the tools and resources to invest in your future and the 
future of your family,” said Terry Powell, founder of The Entrepreneur’s 
Source. “This huge step gives a greater sense of work satisfaction because 
you’re in control of your venture. Franchises offer you the ability to be 
in business for yourself but not by yourself, while giving you the ability 
to have the kind of life you want.”

Coaches from The Entrepreneur’s Source in the Gloucester City area say 
that aspiring business owners should start by determining their desired 
ILWE® – Income, Lifestyle, Wealth and Equity. Meaning: what kind of income 
and lifestyle they would like to have in the short term and what kind of 
wealth and equity they would like to build in the long term. Consider what 
“work-life balance” means and how to use a business as a vehicle to 
achieve it. Going further, the following three factors should be carefully 
analyzed to find where the business owner should focus his or her 
aspirations:

* Dangers – obstacles faced now and obstacles expected in the future
* Opportunities – circumstances and possibilities that motivate change
* Strengths – talents, capabilities and skills that make each individual 
unique and successful

According to Powell, it’s incredibly important to keep an open mind and 
ensure fear does not take over. The most successful business owners are 
frequently not experts within the field in which they own a business – 
they are in the business of business. They have figured out that doing 
what you know, love and enjoy does not guarantee success and that you don’t 
necessarily need to be in love with a product or service in order to be 
able to capitalize on it.

“And along the way, they have become successful and savvy business 
owners,” added Powell. “Succumbing to fear could potentially stifle 
future success and lead you in the wrong direction. We have been helping 
individuals explore what it takes to be self-sufficient for over 30 years, 
and 95 percent of the business owners we’ve helped are in a business they 
admittedly never would have looked at on their own or would have 
prematurely dismissed.”

For anyone who has entertained the idea of business ownership and is 
interested in exploring what options are available to them, The 
Entrepreneur’s Source is hosting a complimentary, virtual franchise expo
