Learning RX - Ed Lawrence

Did you ever wonder how you'd know what is the "perfect business" for you? How will you know it will meet your financial and lifestyle needs? Do you have a method to figure out the perfect business or are you one of the multitudes of Internet clickers hoping one will jump out at you? If one jumps out at you is it your emotions talking to you? And will your emotions be reliable in making a decision of this magnitude? 95% of the clients that partner with Entrepreneur's Source and go on to find a business tell us that they would have never selected it on their own or perhaps had dismissed it in the past prematurely. Our client of the month is a perfect example. Ed initially was skeptical, but he kept an open mind and let the data from his investigation guide him to the right business fit. Congratulations Ed, and welcome to the world of Entrepreneurship!

Ed Lawrence

Ed Lawrence was not certain that business ownership was for him.  His employer, SunTrust, was laying people off, himself included. He knew he wasn't completely satisfied in the corporate setting and he didn't see much opportunity for career development.  So he figured this was a great opportunity to investigate his options.   During his career, Ed had always been great at simplifying complex processes.  He liked being able to make decisions and working in operations.  He wanted a feeling of accomplishment.  As a self-described workaholic, he wanted some flexibility as to when he would work.  He had always worked in professional settings and he could see himself in some kind of business to business environment. After learning more about himself and his true business criteria needs through The Entrepreneur's Source discovery journey, Ed became one of the 95% of our clients who discovered an option he would not have considered on his own. When he was first presented with Learning Rx, a cognitive skills training business, which helps children and adults with learning difficulties, his reaction was "I'm not sure about that one."  As he did his homework though, he saw that he could build a business that had the potential to help him to reach his goals and have a positive impact on the community.  While that wasn't something he had originally thought was important to him, he learned through his investigation, that it was very attractive to him. Ed attributes the Entrepreneur's Source discovery journey for helping him keep on track with an open mind as he reviewed his options and found the opportunity that he wouldn't have considered on his own. Learning Rx is a great solution for those with reading or learning difficulties.  Unlike tutoring services, they seek to identify and resolve the causes of learning difficulties.  What you see on the surface when facing persistent learning or reading struggle is most often merely a symptom.  The causes are deeper and sometimes more difficult to understand.  Learning Rx helps to identify the underlying causes of these struggles and present strategies and options to overcome poor learning and reading if cognitive weakness is the source.  The programs are particularly helpful to those with reading difficulties or learning issues due to ADD/ADHD.  To learn more about Learning Rx, visit www.LearningRx.com or call Ed Lawrence at 804-612-9959. If you're an Internet clicker searching for the "perfect business" perhaps you can learn from Ed's experience. The Internet can provide you with tons of information but it doesn't know how to help you select the right franchise or business for you. Often it takes some one-on-one coaching to help you determine your next career direction. And don't be surprised if you become one of the 95% that choose something different than you initially imagined.
