I’m proud of my clients’ success.

Darcy is an exceptional career ownership coach and an inspiring professional who is deeply invested in her clients’ success.

She reminds you of your “North Star”—your goal and your why. Darcy motivates you to genuinely believe in yourself and the community around you.

Logan Steffans – Rapid City, South Dakota

I’ve appreciated working with Darcy through The Entrepreneur’s Source®. She guided me through the DiSC assessment and helped me thoughtfully evaluate several career and business opportunities aligned with my strengths, experience, and long-term goals. Darcy brings a calm, structured, and insightful approach to the process. Our conversations helped clarify not only where I’m naturally strong, but also which opportunities would genuinely be a good fit professionally and personally. If you are exploring career transitions, business ownership, or simply trying to gain clarity on your next step, I would recommend connecting with Darcy and The Entrepreneur’s Source®.

Gordon Brooks – Rapid City, South Dakota

Darcy is a fantastic professional who stays deeply focused on her clients’ specific goals. My experience working with her was both insightful and eye opening. She is flexible, honest, and provides high-value, no-pressure guidance while always prioritizing her clients’ best interests.

ShaeLynn Hughes – La Verkin, Utah

Darcy is a very kind and thorough business coach. She really helped me assess myself and career opportunities out there for me, during a time of transition. Invest in yourself and your future career by speaking with Darcy and considering amazing, new life paths that perhaps you hadn’t considered for yourself before.

Mollie Downs – Ballwin, Missouri

Darcy is an incredibly wise and intuitive guide for career navigation — she not only helped me distill my core focuses on for the coming year but our conversations always left me feeling confident and illuminated on what my true strengths are and how I can best activate them to achieve my career goals. After meeting with Darcy, I found the motivation to finally launch not just one, but TWO businesses that had been on my heart for years. One is a non-profit, to which Darcy immediately connected me to colleagues who could help gather funds to achieve our budget goals, the other is a production company that is already gathering a slate of projects. Prior to working with Darcy, I always thought “career coaches” were an unnecessary added expense to an already-expensive lifestyle as a freelancer, or at worse — simply a channel for the coaches themselves to nickel and dime into their webinar empire. Darcy couldn’t be further from that. She not only felt like a wise sage to turn to, but a true friend who had my best interest and really saw me for me. I would recommend Darcy to anyone looking to find the right path that suits them not only for career success, but for a happier life.

Julia Prescott – United States

Working with Darcy was a truly transformative experience focused entirely on clarity. From our very first conversation, Darcy’s exceptional communication skills cut through the noise, allowing us to immediately talk through and organize my professional goals. She doesn’t just ask questions; she challenges you productively, helping you see the possibilities beyond your current scope. Darcy helped me define my professional “North Star” and, more importantly, create a clear path to reach it. If you need a coach who can turn uncertainty into an exciting, actionable future, I wholeheartedly recommend working with Darcy.

Thomas Waclawczyk – Greensboro, Winston-Salem

I had the pleasure of working with Darcy as I explored my next career steps. She was professional, friendly, and highly knowledgeable.

I would highly recommend Darcy to anyone considering a career transition.

Jeff Brown – Denver Metropolitan Area

Darcy was instrumental in guiding me through a difficult life change as a career coach. She was patient, flexible, and very thoughtful in her approach as a coach. Most of all she provided me with options that I hadn’t thought of before and opened my aperture to other possibilities.

Caroline Akiode – Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania

Working with Darcy as my career ownership coach was an absolute game-changer. From our very first conversation, she brought clarity, encouragement, and a powerful sense of direction to what had only been a dream. Her insight, support, and strategic guidance gave me the confidence I needed to officially launch Talley Your Adventure LLC.

Darcy didn’t just help me explore career ownership—she helped me see myself as a successful business owner. She asked the right questions, listened deeply, and tailored her recommendations to align with my passions and goals. Her ability to connect me with franchise opportunities that fit both my lifestyle and vision was incredibly empowering. I never felt pushed—only supported and understood.

Thanks to Darcy’s coaching, I transitioned from uncertainty to action. I’m now running a business I’m proud of, built around travel, adventure, and helping others explore the world. If you’re considering a career pivot or dreaming of owning your own business, I can’t recommend Darcy highly enough. She’s more than a coach—she’s a catalyst for growth.

Tara W. Esse, PharmD, MBA, BCACP – San Antonio, Texas

I had the pleasure of working with Darcy during my journey to discover the perfect franchise opportunity, and I cannot recommend her enough. Darcy’s balanced and motivational approach was instrumental in guiding me through a pivotal career transition.

As a Career Ownership Coach with The Entrepreneur’s Source, Darcy created a safe, judgment-free space where I could explore options and clarify my goals. Her ability to ask insightful, thought-provoking questions helped me uncover what I truly wanted—not just in terms of business ownership but also in achieving my desired income, lifestyle, wealth, and equity goals.

Rob Decker MBA – Milwaukee, Wisconsin

At a time of major changes in my life, I was out of a job and seeking employment aggressively with no luck. I came across Darcy during my job searches online and with nothing to lose, I reached out. I am so happy I did! Although she was not able to get me into a position of self-sustainability because of my personal financial limitations, she provided insights which are beyond monetary value. She patiently got to know me and helped me to know myself better. I felt like she really “saw me”. She helped me to understand my own behaviors and driving forces. Through that process, I have become more open minded to all the possibilities available to me. I learned that is some cases, I was really self limiting. Darcy gave me hope that I had been losing during my journey to new employment. I would highly recommend to ANYONE to meet with her and explore with her. Dream big through her services!

Darcy provided me with much needed personal insight, allowing me to more positively move forward in my career search. Her approach is very personal while remaining extremely professional. I would highly recommend having her on your side while advancing yourself professionally! You will certainly learn valuable insights to your capabilities.

Lisa Larimore – Northville, Michigan

“I have been working with Darcy over the last several months. From the beginning, Darcy conveyed a warm and caring persona that made me feel comfortable opening up to her about the challenges and desires that I had in my professional career and direction. As our working relationship progressed, Darcy was able to challenge me and my thinking to broaden my possibilities and directions. I would recommend Darcy to any professional who is searching for the next possible thing in his/her career or simply needing to level set where they are today.”

JEFFREY S. WELLS, MBA – Atlanta Metropolitan Area

“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.”

MICHAEL SCROOPE, New Business Owner
