…I had a wonderful and wild ride and ended this chapter in my life as the CEO of one of the largest tailored clothing firms in America.

 

At this point in my professional life I went “over the wall” and became a corporate refugee (my typical client) and began a new journey as an entrepreneur.

Everything has both a beginning and an end and I was well on my way to experience numerous and interesting new challenges for the next eight years, not the least of which included becoming an investor and principal of another apparel company, an industry consultant, a telecom business owner, a real estate agent and for sure, the most interesting, becoming a team member by one of Forbes’s wealthiest men for a commercial real estate development project powered totally by renewable energy.

My quest at that moment in time was to take control of my life and buy, build or create a business. I can’t remember becoming more excited to discover the role of a professional franchise consultant and it seemed to be a perfect fit for my background. With “Ignorance on Fire” I became President and founder of Franchise Career Consultants, Inc., as a licensed affiliate of one of the nation’s largest franchise consulting organizations. I also became for this organization a franchise consultant trainer providing professional training and instruction to new consultants and preparing them to become successful franchise advisors. I also acquired the experience of owning several master franchises in the senior care category of franchising and can speak on a practical level of “a day in the life of a franchise owner.”

Shortly thereafter Axxiom Franchise Advisors, LLC was launched in January 2007, as a national franchise consulting business with over 20 consultants headquartered in Atlanta and an office in Sacramento. Axxiom’s Advisors have helped many entrepreneurs discover the benefits of business ownership among the vast number of investment quality franchise systems meeting their client’s lifestyle, professional and financial goals.

In 2016 Axxiom Franchise Advisors merged with the International Franchise Professionals Group (IFPG.org). I am a current contributing advisor member holding the certification of Certified Franchise Consultant and a host of the IFPG’s Impact Sessions, a consultant educational and training series. I also hold memberships with the Perimeter Insiders Networking Group, as well as well as a member of the Atlanta Mastermind Forum. In 2013 I was fortunate enough to be named Ambassador of the Year by the Atlanta Chamber of Commerce. More information on me can be viewed on my LinkedIn profile at http://www.linkedin.com/in/bkingaxxiom.

Call me to help you discover the benefits of franchise ownership, taking control of your destiny, and experiencing the liberating emotion and pride you will feel as a franchise owner. Let me help you as I have done with hundreds of clients just like you (and me!). My service in invaluable, yet you never incur a personal investment to engage me as your consultant, coach, and advisor.

I reside in Marietta, GA with my most patient wife Peggy. Father to four grown children and grandfather to eight grandchildren.

I have known Bill for over 10 years, and I can honestly say that I have learned as much about business and about life from him as anyone I’ve ever met.

Bill is an outstanding executive. His past global, corporate and entrepreneurial experience has proven invaluable for Axxiom and the clients who are fortunate to work with him.

He began his career as an officer in the United States Army and for more than 25 years, he was an executive with technology companies, responsible for training, support, operations and IT.

Finally having enough of the corporate life, Bill became an executive recruiter and an adjunct career consultant with a major outplacement firm after realizing he is, at heart, an entrepreneur.

While working in outplacement, Bill discovered his passion to help others discover their full potential and realize their dreams. “As a consultant, I helped them get past the anger and shock of being fired and see this as one of the greatest opportunities of their lives,” he says. “Often, they chose to ‘hire themselves’ and start their own businesses.”

Now with over 12 years consulting experience in franchising, as a Certified Franchise Consultant and a certified business coach, Bill can help you discover the best business fit for your unique skills and desires. In the process we will question, challenge, test, measure, probe, counsel, coach and encourage to find the best business model match for each individual.

Bill has a special interest in working with other veterans leaving active duty and exploring entrepreneurship and is affiliated with several veteran volunteer efforts in the metro Atlanta area.

He speaks and writes on career issues and hopes to write a book one day soon, “Golf as a Metaphor for Life”.

“I’ve known Bill for 13+ years. He always does what he says he’s going to do, he’s creative and always thinking outside the box and he is service oriented. He is always looking for ways to serve and help others. He has great experience and talent in the areas of business, entrepreneurial ventures, coaching, facilitating, training and serving others. He’s a long-time friend and trusted colleague. He’s ‘just’ a good person.”   Suzie Price, Assessment Analyst and Professional Facilitator

 Bill is my friend, my fellow veteran advocate, the man who brought my Corpus Christi franchisee in the CitruSolution family, and the man who co-founded Vetbuds.  My interview on From Boots to Business was made all that more easy because of Bill’s commitment to our veterans and his understanding of their unique talents, experience and needs.    Bill’s passion for helping our veterans  is apparent in everything he does and he does it well.  If you are a transitioning veteran, you would be well served to put yourself in Bill’s sphere of influence.  I trust his experience and knowledge when I comes to choosing a suitable business to fit a veteran’s personal situation.  I value his friendship.    Paul Romanick, Nationally recognized franchising expert, Marketing expert and Veteran advocate. 

 

I’ve had the pleasure of knowing Bill as a client, a referral partner and as a friend.  His thorough approach to all tasks and his genuine concern fordoing the right thing make Bill an ideal advocate for his clients.  He takes on the details that others may overlook and unflinchingly provides clear, honest feedback.  His generous work supporting military veterans is noteworthy and serves as an example of how he lives his life.  If you have a friend, relative or colleague who is thinking of career change, a meeting with Bill is an appointment they need to make.  Emile Paradis, VP Sales & Marketing at KPJ Green Technologies.

 

It’s my pleasure to recommend Bill Williams.  He’s a great guy looking out for his client’s best interests.  We have worked together on several projects, each time he brought the highest degree of professionalism, insight and support to make our work together a success.  He brings a wealth of experience and contacts.  If you want to be successful you should have Bill I your corner acting on your behalf.    Richard Berlin, Successful organizational development, change management and business development professional.
