Working closely with Vince Guess was a game-changer for me. He really gets to know you. Vince helped me navigate the idea of starting my own business in a way that made sense to me. He’s got this knack for understanding what drives you and then suggesting ways to use that energy to run a business.
Vince is all about helping you grow – I can’t thank him enough for that. If you’re thinking about diving into entrepreneurship, I can’t recommend Vince enough.

I have worked with Vincent over the past few months and he successfully turned on a few lightbulbs for me regarding franchise / small-business ownership. His approach to working with his students is thoughtful and methodic. Vincent took the time to understand my values, goals, and personality preferences before providing recommendations or potential opportunities.
For anyone who is remotely curious about exploring franchise opportunities, I highly recommend working with Vincent.
Dave Morelli – Ojai, California -
Vince Guess reached out to me soon after my retirement in September 2023 and invited me to explore entrepreneurial opportunities through The Entrepreneur’s Source. Through his coaching process, I was able to learn about my desire to own a business and the type of business. Vince was able to connect me with various franchises that appealed to my personality and values based on various assessments he administered. Although I chose not to pursue the franchise option at this time, I found Vince’s guidance and coaching through this process to be informative and inspiring. Vince also has a very smooth delivery style about him which makes it very easy to talk with him. I hope to continue my relationship with Vince despite the fact that I have chosen not to pursue the franchise opportunity at this time.
Kevin Weaver – Solon, Ohio -
Vincent approached me from a cold call and did a very good job of getting to know me, and understand my needs and wants. He looks for the win-win which in my view is the only way to build relationships that truly stand the test of time. Based on my profile and interest he helped me explore a few options that were nearly on-center. Vincent was clear, level-headed, and while I decided to not move ahead with a franchise opportunity, it has been a pleasure to work with Vincent. For anyone looking to acquire a business, Vincent’s coach-centered approach goes far beyond the classic P&L / multiple /growth potential and is centered on your as the buyer – and helping the buyer unpack those opportunities that are the right fit, at the right time. I look forward to working with Vincent again in the future.
Gage Hutchens – Charlotte, North Carolina -
When I realized it was time for a new career, I did the normal job searching activities, but everything I found was much like what I already had. Then I met Vincent. Through his guidance and coaching, I learned about franchise opportunities and the possibility of being my own boss. I had no idea that there were so many opportunities out there. Vincent studied me and recommended some franchises for me to study. Fast forward to today and I am just starting this next phase of my life and, though I am a natural skeptic, Vince broke through that and showed me that success is within my reach. If you are tired of the corporate life and want to drive your own bus, reach out to Vince. You won’t regret it!
Joel Luzmoor – Mound City, Missouri -
When I connected with Vincent, I had no idea the world of possibilities and no clear idea on what I wanted. Vincent was a great listener and helped me understand how my passions and strengths could line up with business ownership. Even if you think, no-that’s not for me-It’s worth a listen and you might be surprised. I definitely recommend starting the conversation with Vincent.
Rebecca Merola – Greater Philadelphia -
To be honest I wasn’t sure what to expect when Vince reached out to me via LinkedIn a year ago. I didn’t really know what a Coach could offer. Since then, Vince has helped me discover new opportunities that I didn’t know existed. He helped me to see my potential and gave me the space to really think about what I wanted and how to make it a reality. He’s the nudge I needed to make a change that was long overdue.
Susan Buffolino – New York, New York -
I had the pleasure of meeting Vincent while I was in between jobs. Vincent provided me coaching sessions and exposed me to franchising. I found he was a great listener and very encouraging. He provided a lot of insight in regards to what franchising is about and how to expand my skill sets. I enjoyed each of our sessions together as Vincent is extremely professional and easy to work with. He provides thoughtful feedback and also encourages you to challenge yourself to other opportunities. I would recommend Vincent to anyone who would like to expand their career opportunities.
Jim Rondinone – Bridgewater, New Jersey -
When comes to defining our relationship, I selected that I was Vincent’s client because that is how it started. Vincent exposed me to a world of entrepreneurship I knew very little about and was completely outside of my comfort zone. As he guided me through this journey, I began to see him as a mentor. His experience is vast and his ability to spur self-reflection has helped me see that I can be and am more than a corporate america label or societal label. That was not an easy or quick journey, but Vincent seems to have ending patience and his calming manner gave me the space I needed to get a little comfortable, then uncomfortable and finally mostly comfortably, which is about comfortable as I get. I am still on my journey, still learning more about entrepreneurship and myself and Vincent has been there for me as a sounding board, advice giver and concerned listener, that is why I would also categorize Vincent as a friend.
Timothy Robinson – Brooklyn, New York -
I’ve enjoyed working with Vincent over the last few months. Our interactions were pleasant, informative and constructive. I learnt a lot about myself and he helped me bring my ideas and thoughts to life. I must give him credit for his patience in my moments of indecision while providing gentle encouragement. I highly recommend him as a solid, reliable partner into the world of business.
Noel Samu, CA, CFA – Boston, Massachusetts -
Vince Guess is an intuitive and compassionate professional who empowers people to define their income and lifestyle goals and then look at options to help steer them in the right direction. Vince has strategic expertise. His journey of education and discovery will help you see through the noise, learn about and evaluate multiple paths, and then help you have clarity about determining which path is best for you and your family. He’s also a joy to talk with and very kind, while being focused on helping clients achieve success.
Laura Rau – Toppenish, Washington -
Vince is a former co-worker and I was very curious when I learned about his post-Corporate work as a coach. It took me several months before connecting with him but it was well work the time. His work at the Entrepreneur’s Source is very interesting and in the initial meetings I learned a lot about myself by answering some questions and doing a bit of homework. The longer assessment told me so much about myself by having me choose preferences. It was easy to do yet the details were amazing.
Lisa Kucia – Greater Hartford
Vince was very patient as I worked through things, including not being interested in moving forward to do some analysis of a few Franchises. He chose some with great care and they really did capture my interest enough to send me on a 3 month learning adventure far outside of my comfort zone.
I met some very nice people, attended some information sessions, talked to Franchisees, Home Office management in areas from Sales to Marketing to Accounting. I learned about Franchise Disclosure Documents, Small Business Funding, questions to ask, how to find more information, etc from Vince during regular check ins. His knowledge and ability to keep me focused on each step was just right.
Vince’s skills of working with people, being a great listener, vast knowledge of business and ability to present different opportunities to match an individual’s strengths and interests make him a top Coach for anyone looking for a change or even contemplating one. It is well worth the time and one might be surprised by the outcome. I was and although my day job has not changed, I have made some decisions which will change my overall life plan and it is very exciting!
I recommend Vince to anyone looking for a solid coach with experience to make a difference! -
I had the pleasure of connecting to and working with Vincent Guess recently. I was exploring career opportunities, including business ownership.
An effective review of options and possibilities requires a deep understanding of your values, principles, experience and capabilities.
The process can be daunting and unclear. I can’t speak highly enough of Vincent’s guidance, empathy and support. He has the tools to help you explore what is possible.
I highly recommend reaching out to him at the Entrepreneurs Source if you are considering control over your career.
J Michael Ford MBA – Greater Boston -
I had the good fortune to connect with Vincent after leaving my firm after many years. Vincent has helped me see what is possible in terms of a pivot away from the corporate environment and to consider the benefits of owning my own business. I appreciate Vincent’s personable approach. He dedicated time to get to know me and we have developed a strong relationship. He is a good listener and very patient as I certainly ask a lot of questions! These traits make him a great coach and I would recommend him to anyone seeking to transition from working for someone else to owning their own franchise. I consider him a trusted advisor and a friend.
Erik Aarts, CIMA® – New York City -
I highly recommend Vincent Guess for anyone who is pursuing a career transition. Vincent is extremely personable and easy to speak with about your ideal role and aspirations. He has an excellent process to really assist in thinking through what is most important for you, your family, and your contributions to your local community. He helped me explore new business ventures that I would not have considered on my own in a very open, and comfortable information exchange process. Vincent is a top notch professional, a good listener and truly interested in the success of his clients.
Celynda G. Tadlock, PharmD, MBA – Atlanta Metropolitan Area -
Shortly after I was laid off at the beginning of the Covid-19 pandemic, I was contacted by The Entrepreneur’s Source about my potential interest in franchises. Though I was unsure that a franchise was right for me, I was curious about this alternative to going back to work in the traditional, “corporate” environment. Thus, I began a three-month journey of exploration with my career coach, Vincent Guess. Vince pledged to help me identify the right choice for me whether it was going down the franchise path or not. He was true to his word.
After extensive discussions on my needs and wants/likes and dislikes, Vince recommended several franchise opportunities for me. It was very clear to me that Vince wanted to make sure there was a good fit. I spoke with each of the companies and performed my due diligence on them. As he can attest, I ask a lot of questions and analyzed a lot of data. I was always happy to share that with Vince and always felt he was ‘in my corner’. Vince was there to answer my questions and understand the next steps, always without any pressure or judgment. I valued his expertise and judgement and found myself a friend. Yes, it’s a little corny, but it’s true. It was also a learning experience for Vince, as he didn’t profess to be an expert in an any one of the 100+ franchises represented by The Entrepreneur’s Source.
I had a positive experience with the franchise representatives too. They also wanted to ensure a good fit and, with one, small exception, I didn’t feel pressured to make a decision. It was always, ‘take your time and get back to me when you’re ready for the next step’. They were all people I liked and, in one case, one of the representatives also became a friend.
My ‘journey’ lasted three months and my experience with Vince and The Entrepreneur’s Source was a very positive one. I know that owning a franchise isn’t right for everyone. However, if you’re interested in finding out, there’s no better choice than Vincent Guess to help you find out. Thank you for all your help, Vince, I appreciate it.
Ira Keller, MBA – Boston, Massachusetts -
Vincent came to me on a random phone call one day. When I was having a kind of what you can say tough day. It was like I knew him immediately and started speaking to me about going into business myself. It was whoa !this was out of the blue as I was thinking about trying to find a franchise. For weeks he evaluated my skill, desires and what makes my tick. I looked forward to these calls as it was not only a business call it was a delight to speak with him on personal basis as well. After two months I was on my way to to owning my own franchise. His coaching and mentoring was excellent. I highly recommend Vincent if you looking to go in to business for yourself. So pick up that phone and call him. You will not regret it!
Stacy White – Nashville Metropolitan Area -
Vince was a pleasure to work with as I explored the opportunities available in owning a franchise. He is easy to talk to, non-judgmental, and very knowledgeable about how to approach gaining knowledge about the various businesses out there. I also appreciated the fact that he was very open about the pros and cons of opening a franchise, as well as the risks and rewards that are present when one takes that step.
Mark Alter – Grove City, Ohio
I would recommend Vince without hesitation if becoming a franchise owner is something that you think you have interest in pursuing. -
I have worked with Vincent for over 3 months. He is an absolute pleasure to work with. Vince is professional, very polite and approachable, polished, and completes all commitments perfectly. In his coaching role, he listens very well, is non-judgmental, and honestly recommends opportunities that best fit his clients. He has patiently taken me down a long path of self-discovery to determine what new opportunities are best suited for me at this time in my career. All in sales and coaching would have something to learn from Vincent!
Rick Puchalski – Wixom, Michigan -
Vince has been extremely thorough and knowledgeable in assisting me to gain the education that I need to help me achieve my income, lifestyle, wealth and equity goals. I am at a career crossroad, and Vince is assisting me to explore my options, take control of my life and achieve my dreams.
Vince’s coaching methodology of education, awareness, and discovery is helping me to learn about possibilities ideally suited for the life that I seek for myself and my family. I highly recommend Vincent Guess and The Entrepreneur’s Source for anyone in a similar phase of their career.
Don Marzella – Greater Birmingham, Alabama -
I was very impressed by Vincent’s approach in helping me as a client navigate through all the aspects of choosing a small business opportunity that would meet my needs and goals. He’s an empathetic listener who valued my time, and asked great questions in discovering what might be the best fit for me. I highly recommend Vincent as a coach at the Entrepreneur’s Source.
Charles Schaeffer – Greater Boston -
Vincent is an excellent person with several valuable strengths. He has outstanding people skills and quickly senses the interests and concerns of others. He is great at presenting a few very relevant and important alternatives for people to consider with an open mind. He is supportive, helpful, and wise. I highly recommend Vincent because he has both the vision needed for leadership and the focus required for management.
