I’m proud of my clients’ success.

If you’re exploring owning a franchised business, I would highly recommend working with Tom. He does an excellent job of getting to know you, especially your aspirations and skills, before recommending potential opportunities. The entire process was enlightening without the high pressure to make a quick decision. Again, I could not recommend Tom more as a resource for navigating the franchising world.

Ryan Hilton

I had the pleasure of working with Tom and exploring several business opportunities. Tom took the time to get to know me and my goals, both short term and long term. He listens, asks delving questions and wants to help find the right fit. In this world where so many try to make you fit into a certain mold, Tom is the opposite. His satisfaction comes from truly helping people and finding the right fit for opportunity. I’d highly recommend anyone searching for your own business opportunity to reach out to Tom.

Very much appreciate Tom’s wisdom and guidance along our journey together. Never felt pressure, always felt as though Tom was genuinely interested and invested in my education and long term success. Definitely connected on both the business and personal level. Although I didn’t move forward with a franchise at this time, Tom made sure to leave the door open for me in the future. Highly recommend using Tom as a high class resource!

I’ve met Tom back in December of 2022 we’ve had discovery calls and he helped me find a business that is right for me and found resources to help me get funding. Tom is the best in the business

Tom is an ultimate professional. He helped me discover things I didn’t know about myself as I started the journey of more self discovery for my professional career. We quickly developed a friendship and his mentoring means a great deal to me!

Robb Walker

Had an amazing and very enlightening experience exploring franchise opportunities with Tom! Looking at franchise opportunities was something I was not even remotely considering and had considered declining his initial invite. Realized I had nothing to lose and took the meeting and glad I did. Tom walked me through franchising opportunities and helped me with some key self-assessments that gave me a confident understanding of how franchises could be a great fit for me. I have added a franchise opportunity into my personal future plans and Tom showed me several franchises that really piqued my interest when I am ready to transition away from my corporate gig. Strongly recommend Tom for his low-key approach to entrepreneurial coaching and his wealth of information and contacts in the franchise world. Thank you Tom for a great experience and journey through the franchise world!

Brian Kenney

Tom Sheffield at The Entrepreneur’s Source is an outstanding resource for anyone considering franchise opportunities. Even though I haven’t yet committed to a franchise, Tom has been incredibly helpful, providing a wealth of information and insights tailored to my goals. He is knowledgeable, approachable, and genuinely invested in helping others succeed. I highly recommend reaching out to him if you’re exploring entrepreneurial options. Thank you, Tom, for your guidance!

Michael Barrera

I enjoyed working with Tom as a guide/broker to explore the franchise world. Tom was always very professional, warm, and very informative. While it was not the right fit for me at this time, I would recommend to anyone interested in learning more about franchise models to work with Tom.

Brett Costello

I met with Tom to understand non-traditional opportunities of employment. He was excellent at helping me understand more about myself and my time needs and how they relate to the different levels of franchise ownership, partnerships, consulting, etc. He is very knowledgeable and is with you throughout the decision making process. He never forces you to make a decision in one direction or another.

Denetrice Kabiswa

I connected with Tom via LinkedIn approximately 2 months ago. Tom is genuinely a fantastic guy. Every meeting we had scheduled, he was on time and prepared. Tom pushed me professionally to challenge my thinking. Additionally, Tom offered various resources that helped me along my journey. Podcasts, a book, online assessments, etc. Tom never made me feel like I was being pressured to make a quick decision. During zoom meetings, time would fly by. I attribute this to Tom’s preparation, fantastic personality, and his processing skills. I strongly encourage anyone who is interested in changing career paths or looking for some guidance to reach out to Tom. Tom will help you and direct you to his resources. Tom, thank you for everything.

Steve Brown

Working with Tom at The Entrepreneur’s Source has been an incredible experience! As I searched for meaningful opportunities to build a legacy for my family, Tom opened my eyes to the possibilities within the franchise world. From the start, he was professional, approachable, and genuinely invested in helping me succeed. He took the time to deeply understand my goals and aspirations and provided a variety of tailored options to help me find the perfect fit as a franchise owner. Tom’s patience, insight, and thorough approach were invaluable. He didn’t just answer my questions—he challenged me to think critically and provided thoughtful feedback, even when my concerns extended beyond franchising. I can’t recommend Tom highly enough for anyone ready to take the leap into entrepreneurship with a trusted advisor/coach by their side!

Paul Triska

Absolutely fantastic! After working at one place for nearly 20 years until the business closed, and then rejoining the work search, I just was in a different place mentally than 20 years ago. I got a new job that lasted 3 months. Then I met Tom who introduced me to qualified franchisees (after many conversations) and I can’t believe I’m about to own my own company! Tom is so genuinely friendly. I appreciate him very much. Talk about making a nervous process so easy!

Brandon Jarvis, Happy & Healthy Owner

Tom is really great to work with on your next chapter in your future. He takes the time to fully understand what’s really important to you, he takes that’s knowledge and navigates items that you are passion about to start laying out options for you. I was really surprised on the options he presented after just a couple of conversation. I would truly recommend working with Tom to find a franchise opportunity that will fit you and your family. I know if I ever need to reach out for other opportunities who I will call.

Lenny Fisher, Small Business Owner

I had the pleasure of working with Tom during a period of transition in my career. Tom was very thoughtful in his approach and asked questions that helped clarify the path I wanted to take. At times we all need a little coaching to help us eliminate the noise and find our path. I would advise anyone in a similar position to reach out and have a conversation with Tom.

Bob Bermudez, Small Business Owner

Tom expertly guided me through the franchise process and provided extremely helpful support and information that allowed me to make the best decisions possible. He is a strategic thinker and leader taking into account all the factors needed to make beneficial and lasting decisions. He put my needs first and never applied pressure other than making sure I did what was best for me and my family. He is a man of values, faith, and character. If you are thinking of franchising or seeking a way to become your own boss, Tom has the experience, resources, and knowledge to help you make the best decisions. My time working with Tom is not finished and I look forward to many years of continued development together.

Through our conversations, Tom expanded my thinking around the possibility of being a successful franchise owner. He was always supportive and ensured that all my questions were fully answered.

Our relationship has not ended but evolved. Tom continues to be a trusted advisor.

Ron Hill, Home Team Inspection Owner

Like many people, events related to the pandemic pushed me to think about my career path and trajectory. As part of my exploration, Tom spent time with me helping me think through my current circumstances and evaluate various pathways forward. I benefited greatly from my conversations with Tom as he helped me evaluate my values, goals, and aspirations. I really appreciated his wisdom and the life lessons that he shared with me, as many of them were applicable to my situation. Tom was very encouraging and positive, and over the course of our meetings, he helped me unpack my career situation and address some of the long-standing questions I had about the career path that was right for me. My time with Tom was very productive and I’m very thankful that he invested in me.
