Business Coaching Franchise's Mission of Helping Small Businesses Owners Appeals to Pastors, Missionaries & the Spiritually Minded

June 09, 2009 // Franchising.com // Cincinnati, OH – The Growth Coach, the only pure business coaching franchise system with the single purpose of helping drive the success and balance the lives of small business owners, has proven to be an ideal match for spiritually-minded professionals.

The Growth Coach is seeing a trend of pastors and others with faith-based, spiritual values becoming business owners within their franchise system. These franchise buyers are seeking greater fulfillment in their professional lives through serving and helping others. The business of coaching aligns well with their faith, ideals and desire to make a difference in the lives of others. These owners have excelled in the business coaching industry because their passion and motivation to help others has fueled their determination and dedication as business coaches.

Ross Paterson, owner of The Growth Coach in Ft. Worth, TX, lives for bettering the world. Guided by a faith just as powerful as his military background, Ross started a nonprofit organization which develops networking opportunities to engage and serve the most vulnerable populations in the world. Recently, Ross took his knowledge of business coaching to Afghanistan and, by sharing his faith and passion, became a shining light for hope. He held a four-night "Leadership Development Coaching Seminar" where he led classes to educate the local businesses and prepare them for the future. According to Ross, at some point, there will not be a need for an American military presence in Afghanistan and the responsibility of rebuilding will be left in the hands of the Afghan people.
