Dan’s insights on IFPG
“Each day I wake up grateful for the opportunity to help all of our partners achieve their goals. When I was 22 years old, I wrote on my whiteboard at my home office: “I will help as many people as I possibly can own their own business.” I knew that if I stuck to this goal success would follow. Now, years later, I am blessed to know that this goal is being delivered on ten fold! Our IFPG sister companies Career Transition Leads and NurtureAssist are helping both our broker partners and franchise partners do exactly that. We are dedicated to the ongoing success of our members. We strive to create win-win-win opportunities and always seek to understand when working with clients.
I have been a part of IFPG since very, very early in my career and I owe so much to the company and teammates. Each day I wake up thinking “I get to do this,” and so I feel I have never worked a day in my life.
I am proud of the responsibility I have to our clients and partners. Franchising, the IFA and IFPG are communities I humbly serve and look forward to growing with!”
