## Story

The co-founder and CEO of The Growth Coach Franchise System, Daniel Murphy, has announced his retirement, which will take effect on December 1, 2016, according to a press release.

Murphy began his career as a CPA in 1985, and branched out on his own in 1992 to start his own business coaching company, which was the predecessor to The Growth Coach. He began franchising the Growth Coach in 2002.

The Growth Coach, an investment and franchise development company, now spans 16 countries and serves thousands of clients every year.

“I co-founded Franchise Funding Group because, beyond coaching entrepreneurs, I wanted to invest in them, strategically guide them and make a difference on a larger scale. Like many of the franchise owners drawn to The Growth Coach, I too was ready for a new and challenging encore career. I was ready to tackle a new challenge outside my comfort zone that enabled me to give back and invest in the dreams of others while providing me a chance to grow and learn,” Murphy told PRWeb.

Murphy will continue to serve on The Growth Coach’s Board of Directors and as a mentor after December 1st.
