Julie’s Mission:

My goal is to help people get their lives back, stop making money for others and start building their own dreams of business ownership, more family time and financial freedom.

Bio:

I graduated from Drama School in London and moved to California to pursue a career in acting and screenwriting. I got into sales to support myself and became a consultant in the Education and Long-Term Care industries where I discovered that helping others is much more rewarding than going the hotshot actress/writer route.

After my husband passed away unexpectedly, I needed to find something where I could support myself for the long term. I also needed to stay at home to take care of my Mom who had senile dementia. A friend suggested checking into becoming a Franchise Broker. I did the research and became a Broker in November of 2008 and finally found my niche.

It wasn’t always easy, in my first six months, five candidates went to Discovery Day and for one reason or another they all dropped out. Then the economy went south and I had to get a part time job. So I kept listening to Brian Tracey, reset my goals and focused on finding those few serious candidates. With the cost of leads I always had a hard time letting anyone go but I’ve learned not to chase people anymore.

Why She’s a Broker:

I love my job! At the end of the day you feel that you can make a difference in people’s lives and also make a very nice living.
