Keith had built a successful career as a C-suite executive, but he was ready for something different. After years of earning at the highest levels of corporate leadership, he wanted to make the shift from earner to owner and build something that could become a lasting legacy for his family.
He had explored business opportunities before and even dabbled in a few, but something always held him back.
Keith initially reached out about a resale opportunity in his area, but quickly saw the value of going through our full process. From the beginning, his wife Beth was involved as well. Having previously run her own organizational business, she was excited to apply her skills to a new venture.
Together, we explored several franchise opportunities before narrowing in on a home service business with strong systems and long-term growth potential.
Today, Keith and Beth have secured two territories that align with their vision for the future and are heading to training as they step into business ownership together.
Congrats to both of you. We’re excited to watch what you build.

Most people shopping for a franchise are asking the wrong questions — and it's costing them everything. In this episode, Tariq sits down with veteran franchise brokers Marc and Chris for a brutally honest conversation about who should NOT buy a franchise, the passive income myth that destroys new owners, and what separates the operators who win from the ones who lose everything.
