Julian Reid, Career Ownership Coach™ / The Entrepreneur’s Source

“Helping people explore business ownership as a vehicle to achieve their life goals.”

Julian’s complimentary coaching approach guides individuals through our Career Ownership™ experience. The process begins with an assessment of career aptitudes, possibilities, and dreams. The self-discovery work is broad; it looks past perceived barriers, and includes an exploration of self-sufficiency, business ownership, and franchise opportunities.

Background: A strategic and tactical thinking leader, with an an engineering and organization management background, Julian is well-versed in the strategies required for small business startups and franchise operations. His first-hand experience with franchising began with business development, operations, and marketing at Mail Boxes Etc. (now The UPS Store; both at the store and corporate HQ levels). More recently, he has assisted small business owners in improving cash flow and securing growth funding, often utilizing custom solutions when traditional banking options were unavailable.

During more than 25 years as a business professional, Julian has developed an unrelenting focus on client service, small business strategy, leadership, organization management, commitment to increasing profits, and senior business relationships with both internal and external stakeholders.

“I can say without hesitation; I have found at this point in my life and career something that “fits me like a glove”, and the genesis of this new direction was accepting a call from Julian Reid. Julian introduced me to potential career and business paths I would not have considered without his patient (and persistent) coaching and expertise. Julian indeed acted as a coach along the way. Not only did he review my skills and vocational desires then marry them up with several potential opportunities, but he gave help, counsel, and referrals to others where additional insights were beneficial. He did not provide a “dating service” for potential employment, but rather a thoughtful introduction and then information about dating, the potential match, and foundations for a good relationship to make sure this would be a relationship that would last (forgive the dating analogy!).”
