Iowa, Nebraska

Wanted...  People with Passion, People with Heart!

Hi, I'm David Drewelow, Master Franchisor and Head Coach for the Iowa/Nebraska ActionCOACH Team.  I am looking for two types of people to build our territory.  To help you determine if you are the right  "fit" let me describe who we are looking for.

The first type of person I am looking for is someone who wants to own their own business...  

Maybe you have owned a business previously and you are looking for your next opportunity, or you maybe you want to learn more about  what it takes to invest and start up your own business.  If this describes you, then we have two franchise ownership opportunities available; our Practice single license franchise and our Firm multiple license franchise, which is similar to an area developer model.  Click on the Do You Have What it Takes to be an Entrepreneur? box to the right and take our test to see how you would do as a future owner of a business coaching franchise.  

The second type of person we are seeking is someone looking for a career change...  

Business ownership may not be for you because you don't have the investment right now, or quite simply you just want a different job.  That's okay because we have franchise owners  looking for great coaches to join their teams as they build their local firms.  On the right panel of this website, click on the FREE COACH TEST box and complete the survey; this will show you how you might stack up as a potential Action Coach.    
 
Whether you are the first or the second type of person, please look at our Webcast and download the White Paper and our  28 Questions Brochure.  Then, when you are ready to get serious about finding out a lot more about ActionCOACH, call my office at (319) 743-0642.  We will start you on a journey to help you determine if YOU are the right "fit" to join the Action Team.  

During 2008 we are looking for people in these following Iowa/Nebraska markets...

Open Firm Franchise Territories...  We have only have eight (8) Firm territories remaining that include Iowa City/Davenport, Mason City/Northern Iowa, Ottumwa/Southern Iowa, Ames/Central Iowa, Coucil Bluffs/Sioux City, Omaha, Lincoln and Grand Island/Central Nebraska.

Existing Firm Territories...  We have existing Firms based in Cedar Rapids and Des Moines looking to hire five (5) coaches for Cedar Rapids, Waterloo, Dubuque, Des Moines and Marshalltown. 

Open Practice Owner Franchises...  We have single license practices available within each of the Firm Territories listed above and specifically we are recruiting for the seven (7) cities of Davenport, Mason City, Ottumwa, Council Bluffs, Sioux City, Omaha and Lincoln to find new Practice franchise owners.

Bottom line, we truly are looking for people with passion and people with heart!  And as we continue to build momentum, we will see these open areas going fast!

Okay, now let me tell you a little bit about my journey into business ownership and how I got into ActionCOACH...  

The summer after high school I started my first business. What started as a job to paint one house led to four summers of painting hundreds of houses, barns, buildings and a few other interesting projects. Upon graduating from the University of Northern Iowa my crew had grown to four college buddies and I, as the boss, enjoyed my freedom, flexibility and financial reward. It was then that I fell in love with the idea of being a life-long business owner.

However, upon graduation I gave up my painting business because I believed that my education was to prepare me for a job. Needless to say, between my first business experience and growing up with a very independent and entrepreneurial dad, being a business owner was my on-going dream. And during my 25 years prior to joining ActionCOACH I looked at every job as if it was my own business.  That attitude has served me well in my experiences of non-profit management, media consulting, radio production, newspaper marketing and ad agency sales.

In 2002, I purchased the ActionCOACH Master territory for Iowa. Since then I have awarded nine franchises in Iowa. In 2003 we added Nebraska to our territory and have awarded three franchises in the Husker state. I coach, mentor, teach and present to thousands of business owners on local, regional and national levels. It's a passion of mine and I love it!  And my team of coaches does many similar things as well in their communities.

In the Iowa/Nebraska territory, our team of ActionCOACH certified business coaches work with hundreds of small to medium sized business owners every day. And we know that we literally impact thousands of business owners across our region. I view this as grass roots economic development.

Our team goal is to help every business owner we work with to turn their dreams into reality! If you have the desire and interest in doing the same thing in your community, they we want to show you how you can join the ActionCOACH team.  Call us today at (319) 743-0642 and let us help you get started on a new incredible journey into business ownership or a new career opportunity.   Thank you.
