Watch the video below to hear Barry share his story in his own words and learn what inspired his journey with WSI.
Shifting from Corporate Life to Entrepreneurship
Barry’s decision to leave the corporate world was fueled by a desire to take greater control of his career. “After years in my previous career, I realized it was time to take a new direction and build something of my own,” he reflects. A career in franchising presented the perfect opportunity to pursue his long-held dream of becoming a business owner.
As Barry explored his options, WSI stood out as the right fit. “It was a perfect match,” Barry shares. “WSI aligned with my background and offered the flexibility I wanted—scalable, location-independent, and focused on consulting and building long-term client relationships.”
Discovering the WSI Advantage
What appealed most to Barry about WSI was how naturally it complemented his professional experience and goals. “I spoke with other franchisees, many with product management backgrounds like mine, and hearing their success stories gave me confidence,” he says. WSI’s focus on recurring revenue and fostering long-term relationships offered the sustainability Barry was looking for.
The brand’s emphasis on innovation and adaptability also resonated with Barry. “I love that WSI embraces change, especially with advancements in AI. It’s exciting to be part of a franchise that’s constantly evolving.”
Building Momentum with a Strong Start
Barry is fully committed to getting his business off the ground and setting it up for long-term success. He’s actively attending local events, engaging with business communities, and networking to build his pipeline. “The support from WSI has been outstanding,” Barry says. “Whether it’s reviewing presentations or joining client calls, the team has been there every step of the way.”
For Barry, this new venture is about more than just professional success—it’s about creating something meaningful that reflects his values. “This feels like the perfect opportunity to align my work with my passions. I’m excited to meet new clients, build meaningful relationships, and create something I can be proud of.”
