10 til 2

From The Founders of 10 til 2


We are all parents, with four different sets of experiences in balancing work and our home lives after having children. We all knew that there had to be another option for stay-at-home parents. Today’s business paradigm of working employees as many hours as possible was just not for us, or for anyone who wanted to be the best parents possible as well as be the best employee possible. We also knew that many others felt the same way we did.

When we thought about opening 10 til 2, we talked about the two types of people we know. The first group is comprised of people in full time jobs who wanted desperately to have more time in the day for themselves, usually meaning more time to spend with their families. The second group is comprised of people who have chosen to walk away from full-time, highly paid, challenging positions. These people are also often desperate to have more time for themselves, time to think, to interact with adults, to get their neurons firing again.

There was no option in the middle. Now there is!

We started 10 til 2 in 2003 in Denver and proved we were right. College educated candidates’ applications flowed into our database and clients started to call. We found ourselves running a wonderful, profitable business. Life was good (except for the constant stream of phone calls and emails asking when we were going to franchise our business); other cities needed 10 til 2! Finally, after systemizing our business into one that can be easily duplicated, we were ready to take 10 til 2 to the rest of the country.

We invite you to look into 10 til 2. Come to visit us. Talk to our franchisees. Talk with some of our clients or candidates. Let us show you how you can help change the 2-track employment paradigm.

Join us in showing the world how to “Think outside the full-time box.”

The Founders,(L to R) Jodi Olin, Heidi Crum, Jill Ater and Liz Norwood

"As a college-educated, stay-at-home mother of 2 children, I was drawn to 10 til 2’s business model the moment I read about it. I knew immediately that businesses and professionals in the Phoenix metro area could greatly benefit from the services 10 til 2 provides. I needed to be part of that cutting-edge organization. I was fortunate to have the four company founders visit Phoenix to provide information on franchise opportunities in my area. As soon as I left that meeting, I knew this was the perfect opportunity for me and I couldn’t wait to get started. I knew some way, some how I was going to jump in with both feet and start my own 10 til 2 franchise! I’ve never looked back and opened my 10 til 2 franchise in July 2007 as soon as I returned home from training. I was fortunate to get my first client and placement within a couple of months of opening and my business is growing bigger everyday!"
