Finding freedom. Liz’s Story.

Welcome! I’m Liz!

I’d like to share a story that probably sounds familiar to you. 

I was in a job I was good at, making decent money, pretty happy with my career. But the reality was my work took up the majority of my time, with only a sliver left over for my family. And it just felt wrong.

Have you ever thought, “Ok, life is fine, but could it be better? Could I unlock more?” Usually we have these thoughts and then the fear immediately kicks in—the “what about…” and “what if…”. 

But, after talking to my husband and then my kids (they were young at the time but still had plenty of opinions) we all agreed it was time for a change. I  was able to marry my personal passions and skill set and start my own business—a childcare center and preschool. A few years later I was able to sell that business for a profit. 

I knew I wanted to continue to pursue my entrepreneurial side, but I didn’t want to start from the beginning again. While I was so proud of my work at the school, it was a herculean undertaking to get off the ground!

So, I started to research franchises and landed on an opportunity that met my needs. And it worked! Later I opened another franchise business. There were missteps and landmines along the way, but the most important part is that I was able to take my life back. I was able to start thriving businesses with the safety net of franchising behind me—and it’s made all the difference. 

It didn’t take long for me to realize I could use what I have learned to help others as a franchise advisor. Now, clients (YOU!) can avoid the landmines, streamline the process, and find your own success in franchising faster and easier than ever. And that’s where Your Franchise Fast Pass was born.

What is a Franchise Advisor anyway?

Good question! If you’ve purchased a home, did you use a real estate agent? Have you ever met with a financial advisor to go over your retirement plan?

The truth is, franchising can be just as tricky as real estate or understanding investments. There are many ways to franchise, many ways to fund your business, and many, many ways to pick the wrong path and really get yourself into a pickle.

A franchise advisor is the expert guide you need to find the best opportunities for your unique business goals.
