I’m proud of my clients’ success.

I had the pleasure of working with Janet during a time when I was exploring new career opportunities and thinking more strategically about my future. Her coaching went far beyond job searching—she encouraged me to think like an entrepreneur and introduced me to possibilities I hadn’t seriously considered before.

Janet has a unique ability to ask thoughtful questions that bring clarity and confidence. Rather than telling me what to do, she helped me discover what truly aligned with my strengths, values, and long-term goals. One of the biggest lessons I am taking with me is to think beyond finding the next job and instead consider building a career that creates greater freedom, fulfillment, and ownership.

I truly appreciated Janet’s professionalism, encouragement, and genuine investment in my success. Whether someone is navigating a career transition, exploring business ownership, or simply looking for greater direction, I highly recommend Janet as a Career Ownership Coach. She has a gift for helping people see opportunities they may not have recognized on their own.

Karelina Nikola Suskin – Beverly Hills, California

Janet was a hugely valuable resource during a challenging career transition. Her guidance into self-reflection and uncovering personal & professional growth/goals challenged what a traditional career transition could look like. Considering career shifts, you would have not considered prior, was enlightening and served as a catalyst for change. Janet helped to bring out and identify personal and work priorities that were buried beneath the surface. Janet was also able to ask the questions that sparked new awareness and options I had never considered. I would recommend to anyone who is finding themselves in a voluntary, or non-voluntary, career transition to work with a career coach, Janet was great!

Rebecca Larkin – Plattsburgh, New York

If you are looking to make a change in your career and shift to an entrepreneurial opportunity, I highly recommend that you work with Janet. She is selfless in her approach to helping professionals see their potential. Through the Entrepreneur’s Source, and using her vast knowledge, Janet helped me gain a better understanding of the career opportunities that would be a good fit for me, and she took the time to help me understand some of my strengths and weaknesses in my leadership style.

While I ultimately decided against moving into an entrepreneurial opportunity, as a result of my work with Janet, it is clear to me that her motivation is to help her clients develop a focus for the type of career opportunity, even if that doesn’t end in additional revenue for her organization. Her compassion, thoughtful and friendly approach when working with me tells me that she truly loves what she does (and she’s really good at it as well).

In this age where everybody’s time is valuable and it seems like there are many individuals soliciting opportunities, my time working with Janet was extremely valuable and worthwhile. I’d work with her again in a minute.

John Bissett – Colorado Springs, Colorado

I had the privilege of working with Janet Bartholow through The Entrepreneur’s eSource, and she was exceptional at every step of the process. Janet guided me through a comprehensive review of career and entrepreneurship options, helping me explore paths I hadn’t previously considered. Even though I ultimately chose not to pursue entrepreneurship, Janet’s insight and thoughtful coaching were instrumental in helping me clarify what truly matters for my future career and life direction.

Her professionalism, empathy, and ability to ask the right questions make her an outstanding coach. Janet doesn’t just present options — she helps you understand yourself, your goals, and your priorities. I’m grateful for her support and highly recommend her to anyone seeking clarity, direction, or a trusted partner in their professional journey.

Jeff Adams – Middleburg, Florida

I can’t recommend Janet highly enough! She has a remarkable gift for helping professionals see the full spectrum of opportunities available to them. Janet helped me look at my career through a completely new lens, encouraging me to consider what truly matters to my life—including a deep desire for community engagement and involvement that I might not have prioritized otherwise.

While I didn’t even need to finish our full coaching process, that’s only because our insightful conversations fast-tracked my clarity and directly led me to my new position! Working with her was a joy, and she is the ultimate partner for anyone looking for true alignment.

Danelle Porter – Kansas City, Missouri

If you are looking to shift your career toward the business world, I cannot recommend Janet enough. She has an incredible ability to help you pivot effectively, ensuring that your next move isn’t just a change of title, but a true match for your unique skills and personality. She is a brilliant partner for anyone ready to align their professional path with their authentic self.

Asif Shiraz – Fulton, Maryland

I cannot say enough lovely things about Janet. Even though my unique situation wasn’t one she could assist with directly, Janet was more than willing to take time out of her busy schedule to help me anyway. Her advice has been invaluable, and she is so kind, compassionate, and supportive. I would encourage everyone to work with Janet. She’s not doing this for the financial gain only – it is quite apparent, from the first five minutes you spend with her, that Janet loves what she does, and truly wants to help people in any way that she can. There were NEVER any cringy ‘sales pitches’ or any pushing me into anything I didn’t first show interest in. I have seen some reviews of the Entrepreneur’s Source where people complained about hard sells and feeling ‘forced’ to go along with opening a business, but not once did I feel any of that from Janet. She went out of her way to find solutions for me that had nothing to do with opening my own business, while encouraging me not to discount other options available to me. Franchising was discussed more as a possible solution, someday, if I decided for myself that I wanted to move into it, not as the only way to proceed. She came up with some extremely unique ideas and suggestions for me that I honestly never would have thought of myself, and I am so appreciative of everything she did for me. As I said, Janet is a pleasure to speak to and work with, and an amazing resource for anyone looking for a job or exploring different options for moving forward in this new economy and workforce. Please, do yourself the favor of giving her a chance – I promise you that you won’t be sorry you did. And, best of all, I didn’t pay a dime out of my own pocket, so what have you got to lose other than some fun interaction, great advice, and a possible new future for yourself? Thank you so much, Janet!

Kelly Switzer – Sioux Falls, SD

I had a very positive experience working with Janet and greatly appreciated her thoughtful, professional, and genuinely supportive approach throughout the process. What stood out most was her emphasis on listening first, asking meaningful questions, and helping create clarity around both personal and professional goals rather than pushing toward a predetermined outcome.

In a time when many professionals are navigating uncertainty related to career transitions, workplace changes, AI disruption, and evolving definitions of success, Janet provides a calm, knowledgeable, and highly valuable perspective. The conversations were insightful, encouraging, and focused on long-term alignment around income, lifestyle, wealth, and equity rather than simply finding another job.

I would strongly recommend Janet to any professional who is exploring what may be next in their career, considering alternative paths, or simply looking for a trusted coach to help think through important life and career decisions with greater confidence and clarity.

Shawn Dilly, Ph.D. – Elkins, West Virginia

Janet’s coaching was a game-changer for me. She helped me move past feeling stuck by identifying exactly how I work and the value I contribute. Her guidance is highly valuable, but the real “aha” moment was realizing I didn’t have to navigate this alone; she provided the options, resources, and strategies I needed to align my career goals with my life goals.

Janet has a wonderful way of explaining complex professional hurdles that makes them feel solvable.

If you want to regain your confidence and clarity and how to take charge of your future, work with Janet.

Patricia Kimbrell – Rock Hill, South Carolina

I had the pleasure of working with Janet through The Entrepreneur’s Source, and I can honestly say it was a truly meaningful experience.

From day one, Janet showed a level of professionalism, care, and genuine interest that is rare to find. Each session felt like a safe space to think, reflect, and gain clarity — something that is incredibly valuable in the often lonely journey of entrepreneurship.

What stood out the most was her ability to guide me in understanding not just my business goals, but myself — my strengths, my tendencies, and my style as both a professional and an entrepreneur. Through her thoughtful questions and perspective, she helped me explore, at a much deeper level, whether this path was truly aligned with who I am.

Entrepreneurship can be overwhelming, and at times, the pressure can make you question everything. Janet helped me reconnect with my confidence, reminding me why I started and helping me move forward with more clarity and intention.

I’m deeply grateful for her support, her warmth, and the energy she brought into every session. I would highly recommend Janet to anyone looking for guidance, clarity, and a truly human approach to navigating their next steps.

Camila Martínez-Salellas – Greater Tampa Bay Area

I had the opportunity to work with Janet a few months ago shortly after retiring from the military, and it was a great experience. She is extremely knowledgeable, professional, and easy to talk to. From the start, she took the time to really understand my background, goals, and what I was trying to accomplish.

What stood out most was how she helped me gain clarity. I had a lot of ideas and directions in mind, but Janet guided me through a structured process that helped me narrow things down and focus on a path that actually made sense for me and my situation. She asked the right questions, challenged my thinking when needed, and provided honest, practical insight.

Because of her guidance, I walked away with a much clearer vision of what I want to pursue and how to get there. If you’re trying to figure out your next step whether it’s business ownership or a career transition, I’d definitely recommend working with Janet.

Sang Lee – Haslet, Texas

I had the opportunity to work with Janet over the course of a few months, and while my path ultimately took a different direction, I’m truly grateful for the experience. She brought a level of patience, kindness, and encouragement that made it easy to explore ideas without pressure or judgment.

What stood out most was her ability to think creatively and challenge me to look beyond traditional career paths. She consistently came to our sessions with thoughtful insights and helpful resources, and she genuinely invested in helping me see possibilities I hadn’t considered before.

While I didn’t end up pursuing the small business direction we explored, I would absolutely recommend her to anyone who is open to thinking outside the box and wants guidance in exploring non-traditional or entrepreneurial paths. She creates a supportive space that allows you to reflect, grow, and consider what’s truly right for you.

Shannon W. – Fort Mill, South Carolina

Janet reached out to me when I was unemployed and a bit unsure of my next steps. While I didn’t end up going through the full process, Janet was extremely helpful in helping me ask myself the right questions and which ultimately guided me in the right direction. I appreciate her support during that period and her continuing to reach out to check in. It showed she truly cared.

From Layoff Uncertainty to Business Clarity

When I was hit with a layoff, I did what most people do: I started the endless LinkedIn scroll. I stumbled upon a post about career coaching and, despite some initial skepticism about whether it was “the real deal,” I decided to take a meeting with Janet Bartholow. It was one of the best career moves I’ve made.

Janet is a phenomenal coach. Over several weeks, she guided me through a structured process designed to help me decide between returning to the corporate world or becoming my own boss. She was insightful, friendly, and provided the exact level of knowledge I needed at every stage to truly understand my options.

Her mantra was simple: “Trust the process; what you want will become clear.” She was right. By the time we reached the stage of reviewing franchises, the right path for me was obvious.

If you are considering a move from employee to entrepreneur, reach out to Janet. The program is legitimate, the earning potential of the opportunities is impressive, but it’s Janet’s coaching that truly makes the difference. She might just help you change your life.

Craig Krstolic – San Jose, California

Janet Bartholow has been an inspiration to work with! She is an excellent communicator and serves her entrepreneurial clients with an elegant balance of empathy and hard experience. If you are starting down the path as a new business owner, this is a great place to start.

Dirk Stockton – Greater Sacramento

It was a pleasure working with Janet. She’s professional, reliable, and brings a calm, thoughtful approach to her work. Our time collaborating was productive and positive, and I appreciated her clarity, responsiveness, and attention to detail.

Phillip H. – Washington, District of Columbia

I highly recommend Janet as your next career coach. She is truly one of the best career coaches I’ve ever worked with. When Janet initially reached out to me on LinkedIn, I was a bit skeptical about what I might gain from working together. However, it quickly became clear that she genuinely had my best interests at heart.

Janet is not focused on selling a specific path or outcome. Instead, she takes the time to deeply understand your interests, values, and working style, then presents a range of thoughtful options tailored to you. Through our work together, I learned about a career ownership path I had never even considered, and I believe this perspective would be incredibly valuable for others exploring their career possibilities.

Additionally, the resources provided through The Entrepreneur’s eSource platform are top-notch. I trust that Janet supports every client with care, integrity, and insight, and I’m confident that anyone who works with her will benefit greatly from the experience.

Gabrielle Maylock, M.Ed. – Denver, Colorado

Janet has been an encouraging and guiding light during a difficult transitional period in my life. There are those who are trying to sell you a product or service, but then there are people like Janet who have the gift and purpose of coaching. She’s helped me to step into a mindset of victory, positivity, and possibilities after a stressful layoff situation that could have taken me off track. She is not only a caring source of hope, but has a wealth of knowledge about entrepreneurship, franchise development, and is well connected to the people and companies that can help you achieve your dream. I strongly recommend partnering with Janet, especially if you’re not sure where to start.

Sharina Menke, M.S. – San Diego, California

Janet is a wonderful guide for anyone considering becoming an entrepreneur! Through our 1 on 1 coaching sessions, I was able to gain a better understanding of just how achievable owning/running a business is in today’s world. I’d happily recommend her to those in a similar boat and wanting to see what’s out there that you may not have even considered before.

Jonathan Gray – Lexington, South Carolina

She excels at meeting you where you are, empowering you, and providing practical guidance that turns ambitious ideas into reality.

Kenneth Mok – San Francisco Bay Area

I highly recommend Janet to anyone looking to launch or grow their business. When I began my job hunt, I was not necessarily open to starting my own business. But Janet and the program she presents made it easy to explore the idea of starting my own company. I envisioned being overwhelmed by the operational, strategic, and financial pieces that needed to come together – but Janet immediately changed that.

From our very first conversation, she brought clarity, structure, and confidence to the entire process. She helped me validate my feelings and emotions, refine my value proposition, and navigate every step of the process. Her guidance was both practical and strategic, with an entrepreneurial mindset that made each decision feel intentional and achievable.

What really stands out about Janet is her ability to meet you exactly where you are. She don’t just give advice — they empower you to think like a owner. Her encouragement, holding me accountable, and the real-world examples discussed were instrumental in turning what felt like a absolute non-starter into reality. I actually did create a LLC and landed my first contract. Something I don’t think I would have done without Janet’s coaching and encouragement.

If you’re considering launching a business or taking your entrepreneurial journey to the next level, work with Janet. She was a game changer for me, and I’m grateful for the momentum they helped me build.

John Davis – San Diego, California

I so appreciate you and thank you for coming into my life because you truly inspired me to move forward as my career coach!!
