You’ve Given Your Best to Companies.
Now It’s Time to Build One That Serves You.
For leaders who’ve worked hard, sacrificed time, and carried the weight of responsibility yet still feel overworked, underpaid, underappreciated, and trapped in a system that no longer fits.
Case Studies
Phil Turner’s story isn’t just about recovering from a layoff. It’s about redefining his path and taking control of his destiny. Through franchise ownership, he transformed frustration into fulfillment and uncertainty into confidence.
For Brian Nelson, losing his job didn’t mean losing his future. With his wife’s encouragement and Rich LeBrun’s mentorship, he found a new path, one that allowed him to reclaim control, pursue his values, and step confidently into business ownership.
For Stuart, franchise ownership wasn’t just a career change. It was the turning point where he reclaimed his time, his future, and his sense of purpose. With his son by his side, he’s no longer just growing businesses for others—he’s building a legacy of freedom and achievement for his family.
"Your skills have brought you this far—
now, let’s take them to the next level."
You’ve built other people’s visions. You’ve climbed the ladder. You’ve delivered results. But deep down, you know: this isn’t the future you dreamed of.
Now it’s your time.
Your time to create something with meaning. Your time to own a business that reflects your values, secures your family’s future, and rewards your effort in ways no paycheck ever could.
At Executives in Transition...
We work with high-performing leaders who aren’t looking to retire but who are done playing someone else’s game.
We help you explore a path that many overlook: franchise ownership not as a fallback, but as a powerful strategic platform.
This isn’t about food courts or fast-casual trends. It’s about businesses with structure, brands with proven systems, and models where your leadership isn't just needed, it's the difference-maker.
Why Business Ownership?
Because a career should give you more than stress and insecurity. It should give you:
Control – of your time, your future, and how you spend your days.
Flexibility – to be present with family instead of missing life’s most important moments.
Achievement – the satisfaction of building something that’s yours.
Contribution – knowing your work impacts people, creates jobs, and leaves a legacy.
Security – building equity in a business instead of waiting for the next layoff notice.
Not Another Job. A New Path.
This isn’t about chasing another title or another corporate role.
It’s about finally aligning your career with your WHY.
At Executives in Transition, we help leaders like you explore business ownership not as a last resort, but as a powerful and purposeful next chapter.
We’ll guide you through:
⚪ Identifying opportunities that align with your goals, values, and lifestyle.
⚪ Vetting franchises that match your skills and investment comfort.
⚪ Transitioning into ownership with clarity, confidence, and support.
No sales pitch. No pressure. Just real conversations about what ownership could mean for you.
