We believe it takes immense courage to be the owner of a local small business. You put yourself, your reputation, your family, your team and your business on the line every moment of every day as you navigate the murky waters of owning, leading, managing and growing your local small business! We believe that courage should be rewarded with the time, money and freedom you went into business for in the first place.

Thousands of businesses have closed forever due to the effects of the pandemic, and the impact is still being felt, in some ways the toll escalates. Coach Jody Johnson and her partner Coach Doug Barra are committed to bringing as many small business owners as possible through this unprecedented economic crisis. We believe that small businesses are the backbone of our nation’s economy and the character of our community. Our efforts are focused on local small business growth strategies that are innovative yet combined with tried and true growth strategies to modify existing business models and to help businesses pivot entirely when necessary. There is opportunity in every challenge, we’ll get through this together.
