FranchiseWorks.com | Franchise Business Coaching Company The Entrepreneur’s Source Explains How to Overcome Battered Career & Investor Syndrome.
North America’s Leading Career and Franchise Business Coaching Company, The Entrepreneur’s Source, Explains how to Combat the No. 1 Financial Disaster Sweeping through Families Today.
SOUTHBURY, Conn. — The post-recession economy has undergone the slowest recovery in 70 years, leaving almost 50 percent of U.S. households living paycheck-to-paycheck. On top of this, a majority are over-worked and underpaid as employers have been using “Job Enlargement” as the solution to accomplish the same workload with a trimmed workforce. What’s more, nearly half of middle-class workers say they are not confident that they will be able to save enough to retire comfortably.
Recognizing the beating that many of today’s professionals continue to endure, The Entrepreneur’s Source® (E-Source) is asking these individuals to combat the “Battered Career & Investor Syndrome” by taking control of their professional and personal future.
“We want people to stop settling for the ‘New Normal’,” said Terry Powell, founder of The Entrepreneur’s Source, North America’s leading career and franchisee business coaching company. “We are dealing with a New Career Economy domestically and worldwide where employment conditions have forever changed. The days of long-term job security and a lifetime with one company are gone. Employers have been forced to get lean during these economic times, and the lesson they learned is that a smaller workforce can pick up the slack, and employees can do more than one job.”
Many have realized that what they want from life is not going to be achieved through the uncertainty of employment, but they are unsure how to make the changes necessary to achieve the Income, Lifestyle, Wealth and Equity they and their families deserve. Powell explains four key areas of self-discovery these individuals should consider to help determine the best path that will allow them to use their skills and strengths to achieve security and success:
Evaluate Your Opportunities: Look beyond where you are now and where you would like to be by considering what you really want from your life and what needs to happen to begin the process of transforming your frustrations into freedom, going from Employment to Empowerment®. Would you want to reach your goal of financial freedom? Would you want to find a way to focus and create the lifestyle of your dreams? Would you want to spend more time on things that matter most? Would you like to give back within your community?
Assess Your Strengths: Maximizing and reinforcing your talents, capabilities, and skills will help bring success to your business. Make a list of your strengths to help identify opportunities that would be an ideal fit. Do you have a strong work ethic? Do you have strong community, peers, and circle of influence? Have you been successful in your career to date? Are you good at making decisions and implementing a strategy?
Ensure You Have Clearly Defined Short- or Long-Term Goals: Establishing desired Income, Lifestyle, Wealth and Equity (ILWE) goals defines the big picture; the vista that individuals keep in front of them at all times to motivate them to do the necessary activity to get the desired results. By focusing on both short-term (Income and Lifestyle) and long-term objectives (Wealth and Equity), the ILWE creates a framework for long-term application while growing a successful business.
Be Open to Guidance or Support from Others: We live in a hectic, complex society with no short of 20 things tugging at us at any given time. Because of this, it’s challenging to keep focused when in a self-discovery phase. In fact, of the 75 percent of individuals who have a strong desire to be self-sufficient, only a mere 5 percent actually realize their entrepreneurial potential without the help of a Coach. It’s important to create an environment where you can focus on what will have the biggest impact and allow you to find the vehicle that will achieve your goals. Enlisting a career transition coach or business coach will keep you on track and provide you with objective advice and support.
To help aspiring entrepreneurs examine the above strategies, The Entrepreneur’s Source is hosting a complimentary, educational webinar on Thursday, February 20, 2014 at noon EST. Attendees will learn how to take control of their personal and professional future through business ownership by identifying opportunities and defining their desired Income, Lifestyle, Wealth and Equity goals. Coaches will also be present to answer any questions. Registration is free at http://www.you-2-0.com/webinar/.

KidsPark Childcare Franchise Silver Anniversary Has A Silver Lining: Helping Families.
Childcare franchise company KidsPark celebrates 25 years of providing licensed hourly childcare to Bay area families and being named to Franchise Business Review‘s 2014 Top Awards Report. When KidsPark opened their doors the day after Thanksgiving, 1988, Black Friday became the red-letter day parents could get help with childcare without a contract and non-traditional hours - evenings and weekends in addition to days. Families opt to “KidsPark” when they need short-term care without reservations. Parents keep appointments, attend events, run errands go to dinner and a movie or work while their children are safe and participate in art, games, cooking, drama, music, stories, science experiments … fun.
More than 100,000 children have visited the San Jose KidsParks. So many, in fact, Debra Milner the founder and CEO, quips, “Whenever I meet a person in their 20”s they happily recall their visits to KidsPark. It is pretty special to be a part of their memories and makes me realize how much we have become part of the Valley’s fabric.”
KidsPark has grown-up, too. They now offer additional programs to meet the needs of today’s families:
- Smart Start preschool that incorporates The Arts, science and math concepts. Uniquely, parents pick their schedule.
- Back-up care when school or other childcare providers are closed.
- Fun private parties with game and craft activities led by a KidsPark hostess so parents can focus on their child and taking pictures.
The KidsPark franchise concept became so popular it received calls to open centers outside the Bay area. They started franchising in 2005 and now have 15 centers in 7 states: 8 centers in California and centers in TX, KS, AZ, FL, TN and PA. Franchise Business Review’s Top Awards Report recognizes our strong commitment to our franchise owners. KidsPark wants to grow and maintain our core strengths of quality care and service to children, families and franchisees.
What’s changed since 1988?
- Dads equally participate in coordinating childcare and activities.
- More visits are work related during the week due to telecommuting and more flexible work schedules.
- The rage for kids in 1988 was television based - Power Rangers and Ninja Turtles. Now, it is video games.
- Pagers? Does anyone remember pagers? KidsPark used to give each parent a pager in case they needed to be reached.
- “Hourly care” has replaced “baby-sitting” as the accepted service description.
OVERVIEW
Founded in Silicon Valley, KidsPark franchise is an hourly childcare center staffed by professional caregivers for preschool and school age children. KidsPark is a unique childcare solution in a safe and fun space that is available without making a reservation – parents can drop their children by days, evenings or weekends (open until midnight Friday and Saturday nights). They also do backup care when school is out of session – whenever they need childcare for half the price of a babysitter in most cities (San Jose parents pay about $15 per hour for a sitter or nanny and KidsPark charges start at $7.50 an hour).
To date, the KidsPark franchising system has 15 locations across the country — Arlington, TX, 2 in Jacksonville/FL, Scottsdale, AZ, Olathe KS, Willow Grove, PA, Chattanooga, TN and 8 centers in California – Chico, Northridge, Corona, Fresno, Rocklin, Sacramento, and 2 centers in San Jose.
