Nice to virtually meet you! Here's what you need to know about me.

Gabriel Naranjo is a Career Ownership Coach with The Entrepreneur’s Source where his mission is “to help people assess their career possibilities and dreams – specializing in their exploration of business ownership and franchise opportunities”. 

A strategic and tactical thinking leader, with an accounting and management background, Gabriel is well acquainted with the strategies required for small business start-ups and franchise operations. Working with entrepreneurs from all walks of life from “cradle to grave” of their business was Gabriel’s first connection with small business owners.  More recently, he was a business owner himself, starting and growing an insurance agency from 0 to over 1,000 Policies in force.

During more than 25 years as a business professional, Gabriel has developed an unrelenting focus on client service, small business strategy, leadership and organizational management.  He is an excellent communicator and has always been committed to under-promising and over-delivering to all his clients.

Gabriel and his wife Audrey do not have any children of their own but have hosted 11 high school exchange students from all over the world.  He enjoys cooking, gardening, playing golf, hunting, and fishing and F1 Auto racing.  He volunteers his time and has been an active Rotarian since 2004, having served as Club President 2x for 2 different clubs and currently serves as the District’s Director for the Youth Exchange Program.

Work experience.

My career has given me experience from many different perspectives.

  • For the first 16 years of my career, I worked in various positions in accounting and finance roles. I worked with small business startups and saw what it took creating something from scratch, and worked for well established businesses that dominated their industries.
  • Knowing I needed to make a change, I begin an insurance agency from scratch in May 2013, signing policy holder #001 on my living room table. It was very hard work, but I built that agency up to > 1,100 policies-in-force at it’s highest point.  However, something was still wrong, and had I engaged with a Career Ownership Coach back in 2013, perhaps the last 8 years would have been different.  I sold the agency in 2021.
  • Since becoming a Career Ownership Coach with The Entrepreneur’s Source, I have finally found the joy and independence that I never thought was possible. I love helping my clients figure out their “why” and explore new career paths that put them in control of their destiny.

If you are looking to change the trajectory of your current career, and work with a life coach that will help you investigate the possibilities of starting your own business, I recommend that you speak with Gabriel and The Entrepreneur’s Source. He is an exemplary life coach. Gabriel’s insights are always on target. He will work with you in a no-pressure, positive investigative process and help you to learn more about your own strength’s while investigating new career opportunities. Gabriel helped me to look at options that fit my goals and desires for me and my children, I feel very supported and championed in the attainment of my goals. Gabriel has been a vital resource to me and I look forward to our continuing relationship. I plan to look at personal business ownership for my child once she graduates from college.
