Ashley was in a solid corporate role, doing well and moving forward, but she knew real growth would eventually come from building something of her own. She was diligent in her process and wanted to make sure that if she ever stepped into business ownership, she chose the right brand for the right reasons.
So she reached out to talk through what that might look like.
From the start, she noticed the difference.
"Jim wasn’t trying to sell me anything. It was just a conversation. He picked up on what I was saying and asked the hard questions I needed to hear."

As we explored options, the priority was understanding what actually mattered to her. What kind of work she wanted to do. What she wanted to build long-term. What she wanted her life to look like in five, ten, fifteen years.
Along the way, something shifted.
"He challenged me to think bigger and be honest about what I actually wanted."
– Ashley, Franchise Owner
That clarity changed the direction of her search. Instead of choosing something familiar or fun, she chose something she could grow into. Something she and her husband could build together. Something that felt meaningful and aligned with the long-term vision they had for their family.
Today, she’s still in her corporate role, and her husband runs the day to day as they build the foundation for expansion and long-term ownership on their terms.
If you’ve curious about business ownership, it can help to talk through it with someone who’s not trying to sell you anything. Sometimes one honest conversation can open doors you hadn’t even considered.
Let’s talk, whether you’re ready to take that first step, or just want to know your options.
