Beth Meadows Email & Phone Number

To make a long story short, I’m a born entrepreneur. I’ve doubled the sales of every business I bought, reinvested the profits into new businesses, and sold businesses along the way. I’ve started over fifteen companies, some succeeded and some failed. But, eventually I started a travel agency – that then developed a travel franchise, expanded to 265 locations nationwide, and then sold the network of franchises to an American Express Network - right before booking travel went online. (WHEW!)The sale of my travel franchise business to allowed me to establish myself financially and I started looking for ways to give to causes that resonated with me. Having spent my life in franchising, I started dreaming what it could look like to not only create jobs for the poor, but to created opportunities for the poor to run their own business with the guidance and collaboration advantages that a franchise system provides. I started dreaming about what it could look like to see mothers providing not just food, but adequate shelter, education, and a better future for their children. And, I started dreaming of Supply Hope – an organization providing the opportunity for reliable income through “micro”-franchises.The issues of the poor are too many to name, but you’ll find that the primary root cause of it all is joblessness – 9 times out of 10. With what we are doing at Supply Hope, we can solve that. We must solve that.I want to give hard-working, humble, resourceful people a path out of poverty. I want to see them get the same opportunities I had. I want to see them work for it, and feel the joy of success when they conquer their dreams. I want to see them smile as they see their kids flourish. And, I hope you do too.
