For those of you contemplating self-employment, and who might benefit from learning more about the possibilities of franchise ownership, there’s a great upcoming event on March 10th that you might want to consider attending. Good friend of our firm Jeff Levy, of The Entrepreneurs Source, will not only be co-hosting the seminar, but will also be serving as the keynote speaker — given his recent national acclaim as “Coach of the Year” for the entire TES network!

The session will run from 6:00pm to 9:30pm at the Marriott Residence Inn in Bellevue, and in addition to Jeff’s presentation, several top-rated franchise organizations will be sharing about 15 minutes of information regarding their business model and the various opportunities they offer. The rest of the session will be devoted to networking, enhanced by wine and light hors d’ouvres!

Registration for the session is free and to RSVP, or obtain more information, please contact Jeff at (425) 746-1950 or via e-mail at JeffLTheESource@Comcast.net.
