I’m proud of my clients’ success.

I have worked and known Patti for a few years now and I can recommend her as a coach without hesitation. Patti is a great listener and utilizes her healthcare background beautifully in this coaching role in how she takes care of her clients: holistically, warmly, and professionally. She’s a trusted colleague who goes out of her way to help, listen and support not just her clients but her teammates. She’s a pleasure to work with.

I had the pleasure of working with Patti at The Entrepreneur’s Source, you will not be disappointed! From the very beginning, Patti took the time to truly understand my goals, values, and vision for my future. Her insight, patience, and guidance were instrumental in helping me navigate the process of becoming a franchise owner.

What stood out most was Patti’s genuine care and commitment—she wasn’t just trying to help me find any business; she helped me find the one I felt passionate about. Her expertise, thoughtful questions, and supportive approach gave me the clarity and confidence I needed to take the leap into business ownership.

If you’re considering a career shift or thinking about franchise ownership, I wholeheartedly recommend working with Patti.

I had the pleasure of working with Patti to explore the possibility of franchising. I greatly appreciate Patti’s holistic, patient and low pressure approach and thoughtful dialogue to aid in my assessment of options. It was abundantly clear that she had my best interests at heart and earned my trust as a tactful guide and overall voice of reason.v

For anyone looking into an Entreprenurial adventure and possible franchise opportunities, I highly recommend speaking to Patti. She really takes the time to walk you through the process and to connect you to areas that make the most sense and find the best fit for what you are looking for. It’s not always about what interests you or what would make the most money, the focus is more about what would make you the most successful and garner the most beneficial outcome for you and your family.

Joshua Lamm – Alpharetta, Georgia

My wife and I were starting to explore branching out and diversifying our careers when we met Patti and what a blessing it was. Patti was so patient with us and spent over a year with us working through potential options for us and we are now at the point where we have some clarity of what we want to do and how we can go about doing it. I can’t recommend Patti’s coaching and guidance enough. We can tell that Patti was focused on us as individuals and as a couple and wanted to make sure we felt supported through the period of exploration through decision making. She made the entire process non-stressful and full of fun and excitement. I highly recommend Patti as a great resource and even better person!

I was blessed to have met Patti Peppel over a year ago when I was making a career change. She inquired if I would be interested in owning my own business. At that time, I wasn’t interested, or so I thought. Six months later, I contacted her and we started on what would become a great journey together. She would later introduce me to 4 business models that aligned closely with my personality, work ethic, etc. Fast forward to present day and I am an owner of a wonderful and successful franchise, called Graze Craze, where we create beautiful and delicious charcuterie boards for weddings, corporate events and enjoyable family times. This business makes me happy and I would have never known about it, had Patti not stepped into my life. I believe in her and her expertise. I sing her praise often and have referred people to her based on my experience with her. Let Patti step into your life and change it for the better. I did and I couldn’t be happier!!

I met Patti around November of 2021. It was several months after I had just decided to move on from another business-like opportunity that I had prepared to launch for several years. Despite the extensive hours of research and preparation, that effort failed, and I was at a loss regarding how to move forward. Moreover, I had no one to talk to who had any real insight on what it takes to successfully launch a business. Patti reached out to me via LinkedIn and followed-up with several short but highly productive phone conversations that led to my taking the TTI survey and getting an objective view of my behaviors, and what drives me to pursue the opportunities. Subsequently, I worked with Patti for several months to identify several businesses that were a good fit for someone with my profile. What was nice about this approach is that Patti is not partial to any business model; her focus is on helping her clients find the best fit. While I did not move forward with any of those business opportunities, I can say that Patti’s input was invaluable. She helped me to recognize how key factors in my life had changed from the time that I started my journey, and that it would be in my best interests to allow some time to pass before forging a path forward. When I am ready, I will gladly work with Patti again, and I highly recommend her to anyone who is considering investing in a business.

I recently had the chance to meet Patti while I was going through a career transition from a steady corporate job to the possibility of exploring entrepreneurship. Patti was absolutely wonderful to speak with during a self-discovery process. I met with Patti over the course of a few weeks and I couldn’t be more grateful for having accepted that first introductory call with her. From the moment I met Patti, you can tell she truly cares about you, as a person. She is an amazing listener and a great guide! We took some time and she shared some readings and worksheets with me to truly define what I wanted in life and what my next step would look like. She also introduced a few options into career possibilities that I would have never considered before. I learned so much about myself and more about potential options other than just working through corporate jobs. I’m so grateful for the relationship I’ve built with Patti. She’s truly an amazing person I would recommend at least one conversation with her! You’ll truly find it rewarding. August 12, 2022

Patti is just a fantastic human being! She reached out to me and offered some wonderful insights and advice about keeping an open mind for opportunities and paths that I might not have considered… and it was spot on advice. In addition to being there with some good advice at the right moment in my life, she also actually cares. I know that may sound silly, but… never underestimate the value of being there for someone and letting them know you care. It can change the trajectory of someone’s life. Thank you for caring Patti.

Matthew Newburke, Orono Maine

“I recently had the pleasure of visiting with Patti over the course of several weeks. During that time she helped coach me through a process of self-discovery as I look ahead to transitioning into retirement. She was a great listener, very professional and primarily concerned about what I was able to learn through the process. I would certainly recommend reaching out to Patti if you need some help in finding your way through to the next phase of your professional life”.

Vince Adamo, Senior Performance Engineer, Austin Texas

Patti helped pull me out of funk and indecision after I had been let go from my 30 year “career” that I was unhappy with for over 5 years.  I had very few prospects and little desire to return to the “like”

Patti is a genuinely kind and thoughtful person.   She has experienced the move to running her own business; making the journey for herself.  Patti’s previous experience in the nursing field shows through in how much care she takes to ensure her clients are focusing on something that they desire to do to make a living.  It is not about her or some pattern/mold that is being applied to you.  It is about you.  It is about helping you remember what you may have wanted to try all along.  Or finding what really is a good fit and will actually provide you with a satisfying means of income.

Patti provides an environment that promotes discovery and thinking outside of the box.  She was there through the whole process, with encouragement and strength.   The only ask is that you be honest with yourself.

If you are looking for a change, whether it has been thrust upon you or it is your decision to at least inquire, I highly recommend connecting with Patti, Career Ownership Coach at the Entrepreneur’s Source.  I feel privileged working with Patti to move forward to my new career.
