“if I wanted to retire in my 40’s, and really enjoy my life there was no way I was going to do it by remaining within the confines of corporate America alone.” Said Daniel, a former division manager for Coca-Cola Company. “I knew I needed to invest my talents and time into other forms of cash flows. Most of the research I had conducted boaster the success rates of franchises vs start-up companies, which seemed more closely aligned with my risk tolerance.”
A Dream finds it road:
Then Lo and behold, staring up at him from the inner pages of the Business Section of the Wall Street Journal, conveniently left in his seat, was an advertisement for Liberty Tax Service looking for new franchisees. Daniel took this as a sign, contacted Liberty Tax Service and met with John Hewitt.
“I instantly connected with the company ideals”. said Daniel Castellini.
“Be the CEO of your business, leverage the labors of other, learn to delegate and execute were all things I thoroughly believed in. I was Also Instantly taken by the culture of the company and knew it was the right place for me.”

“Owning my own business and being a part of the unique and unmatched culture has truly changed my outlook and understanding about what is possible in both my life and Business,” Said Daniel Castellini. “ This experience has changed every aspect of my life, from shattering simple beliefs I have carried from childhood to the exposure of successful people their similarities as well as their differences in philosophies.” Daniel Castellini has come to the solid conclusion that evaluation of self, business, and those who surround you can help reposition your direction and move you toward your desired outcome.
Freedom From Money = Time!
I have spent a number of my years trying to reach a point in my life where money was no longer a concern, and I have finally reached it,” said the father of 2. “ for now my goals consist of growing my existing operation, improving our level of service, increasing our referral business and consummating my existing organization to thrive and grow with limited interaction from myself.”
This last decade for Daniel Held Many Magic Move Moment, as well as personal ones that have helped him realize his abilities, vision and impact as a franchisee and Top Gun.

People need to trust the person they follow and know that they will lead them down the correct path. Remember, you are more than a CEO, you are a leader.”
