NEW YORK CITY, NY – Terry Powell, considered the founder of the business coach profession, has partnered with Thrive15.com, an online educational platform providing practical business training for entrepreneurs and business people around the world who are looking to start a business, grow a business, or advance in their current careers.

In 2005, with the acquisition of Business Advisers International, now AdviCoach®, Powell was able to realize his dream of creating a “one-source resource” for potential business owners. The Entrepreneur’s Source is an international company and works with over 200 franchises throughout the United Sates and Canada, developing his company’s clients by defining their desired income, lifestyle, wealth, and equity goals.
Powell earned his Certified Franchise Executive (CFE) certification from the International Franchise Association’s (IFA) in 2004 and is active in the organization, serving as a board member on the IFA’s Diversity Institute, an organization that promotes diversity and inclusion within the franchise community. Powell also sponsors the IFA’s annual “Entrepreneur of the Year Award” and has done so for the past 10 years.
