Jane Stein is the President of Your Franchise is Waiting, a consultancy firm which helps people in various stages of reinvention discover the possibilities offered by business ownership through franchising.  She draws on her unique experience transitioning from corporate financial services to self-employment to help others do the same.

Jane was previously a Senior Vice President and Certified Financial Planner in the financial services industry for over 25 years with Smith Barney, now Morgan Stanley. While at the firm she developed and implemented comprehensive wealth management solutions for a large base of families, representing over $250 million dollars in assets. Jane developed a platform of customer service strategies that became known throughout the firm and resulted in very low client turnover.

Jane thrives on helping people get out from under the strain of corporate shackles while paving a way for self-employment and wealth creation. Her goal is to help her clients identify business opportunities through a step-by-step process that meets their interests, skills set, lifestyle goals and investment parameters.  She now spends her time working to help people invest in themselves, instead of managing their passive investments, which results in more exciting, empowering and lucrative outcomes.

Jane has been widely interviewed in the press, and authored an investment column for a number of years. She developed a series of public seminars called "Money Matters for Women", which resulted in numerous television and radio interviews. She is driven by her passion for helping women achieve financial independence and empowerment through business ownership.
