Christopher Parker – Detroit, MI
Cindy is always optimistic and full of energy. I had a wonderful experience working with her as she patiently guided me through the process of learning about, vetting, and choosing the right franchise system for me. I looked forward to our weekly calls and getting her insights on what to look for and resources I could leverage every step of the way. Her experience as a previous franchise owner was obvious as her recommendations were always sound and based on real-world experiences. If she lived any closer, I’d be offering her the first job in my new company…but I have a feeling she’d turn me down. I can tell she loves helping entrepreneurs find the right path for the next stage of their career! -
Allyson Landry, PMP – Project manager | human connection + innovation
Cindy’s approach to career coaching is all about the ENERGY! Talking to her has breathed so much life into my ideas for where I know I want to be. I’ve known her for a few years now, with a long hiatus between when I first approached her to coach me through the early stages of entrepreneurship and where we’re at now. Cindy is unafraid to be the accountability partner I didn’t know I needed. She really wants your progression to be on your terms in your time. Honestly, that’s what I appreciate the most! It really feels like a mentor relationship pushing me to achieve my dreams. Cannot recommend her enough! -

If you are looking for a career change, it pays to talk to Cindy about options you may not have considered before. She worked with me for several months prior to my transition from the military, and her advice and perspective were incredibly valuable to me as I worked to clarify my goals. She is a great listener, taking what’s most important to you and helping you craft a vision for your future. What’s more, she always came to our conversations with an infectious level of enthusiasm. I strongly recommend getting in touch with Cindy if you have ever considered business ownership, or even if you have never considered it. It will be well worth it! -
Manny Martinez – Leadership Development to Unleash the Skills your Managers Need to Lead Effective, Productive Teams
Cindy ROCKS! After an amazing 30-year military career, I desired a brand new career challenge. I knew I had the skills to be a business owner but didn’t know where to start. Cindy coached me over several months, providing me the safe space I needed to explore career options. More importantly, her guidance allowed me to grow confidence. I found a business which aligned with my passion–service to my community by helping others achieve their highest potential. Cindy was instrumental to my future success! -
Liz Litvin – Resonant Leader | Collaborator | Team Builder l Novice Baker | Hopeful Golfer
If you are considering owning a business, you need to talk to Cindy. Cindy helped me find clarity and purpose during my transition after a 26-year military career. I looked forward to our phone calls because she really helped me focus on ME – something that was hard for me to do after taking care of others for so long. Even though I decided not to go down the path to own a business, I still want to check in with Cindy. She is that kind of leader, that kind of person. -
Jon Drake – Scholarship & Enrollment Director at Children of Fallen Patriots Foundation
Working with Cindy was a great experience. She started with a detailed briefing on specifically how she would coach me on The Entrepreneur Source. She followed up with flawless execution of the plan that resulted in full understanding and connections to companies that I was interested in. Cindy consistently provided updates throughout the process and maintained contact with me which significantly helped ease my mind. I would strongly recommend Cindy Bloomquist to all my friends and family. -

“I started with just me and one truck, working out of my garage. I now have four employees, and I am in a commercial space. The earnings potential is pretty well limitless at this point. I am busy. I do have to spend time away from my family just as I did before. But now, if I want to stay home and cook my kids breakfast, I can. On nice sunny days, if I want to cut out early to take the kids swimming, I do. I don’t just have weekends to choose from anymore.”
BRANDEN BOWDEN, New Business Owner -
“After working as an executive in the Detroit area, I found myself at a crossroads. At the age of 64, many people are looking to wind down; but I was starting a whole new adventure. I considered taking another shot at the day-to-day corporate grind. I tried to find another position, but my wife and I have always dreamed of owning our own business, so we began to examine the possibilities. That’s when I found The Entrepreneur’s Source®. I feel my coach has developed his communication skills which allow him to listen with true empathy and I completely trusted The Entrepreneur’s Source process. Now I feel I have personal value in my work. I am loving being a business owner and can see the impact it can have on others. The Entrepreneur’s Source has a great process to help you explore self-sufficiency.”
RICK WEAVER, New Business Owner -
“I was traveling across the country working in corporate sales and one day I realized that I didn’t want to travel anymore! That’s when I began to think about owning my own business. I began working with my Career Ownership Coach who helped me begin my Journey of Discovery. For me, it was a great process. I was learning about what excited and motivated me, but also what didn’t! That was just as important. I am so happy I went on the “journey,” and was also happy to have my coach along with me. He was a very good listener. He was genuinely interested in my long-term success. and he challenged me to see some things I didn’t even see in myself.”
LEE PUTNAM, New Business Owner -
“I had worked for 15 years in the world of corporate finance when I was forced to make a sudden exit. I had always thought to myself, I have this great corporate job, I’m on easy street. But I was really in the wrong place at the wrong time. I had no control over my own destiny. My Career Ownership Coach helped me take a close look at Franchising to achieve self-sufficiency. Franchising was a better choice for me rather than starting a business from the ground up. I have a good sense of how things should run and customer service but I tend not to be strong on the sales side and frankly, I am not the stereotypical idea-man. A franchise is giving you the playbook, and you have a product. In my mind a lot of the basics have been built, you just need to follow the proven system. When friends are approaching those exit ramps in life, the first thing I tell them to do is to connect with a Career Ownership Coach at The Entrepreneur’s source.”
ANDREW BROWN, New Business Owner -
“The first time I met with my coach, I didn’t think I would walk out with a popcorn stand…Throughout my career, I never once dreamed I’d be in the place I’m in now. I thank E-Source for helping guide me.”
BILL BENTZ, New Business Owner -
“Being an entrepreneur was always an idea in my head, but to be honest, I thought when I got to the point in my life that I had a family, that that ship had sailed. My wife and I met with our Career Ownership Coach and found The Entrepreneur’s Source® to be a valuable tool throughout our discovery process. Now, as a business owner I have not only raised nearly $1 million dollars for schools in my community, but I work hard, and I get the flexibility to do what I want to do when I want to do it.”
