We love entrepreneurs. They build interesting, passion-driven businesses. Which is not an easy thing.
After all, entrepreneurs wear a lot of hats — salesman, operations, artist, accountant, marketers, tech expert, etc.
It’s a lot for one person to handle.
JEDI understands the problems, and offers training to entrepreneurs on every aspect of running and growing a business. Need to market better? Track financial status? Manage suppliers?
We’ve got you covered.
Starting a Business?
It’s Your Business
This is our flagship — a 36-hour, in-person-and-web-based class designed to move your thinking and planning to the next level. You’ll conduct market feasibility testing, craft a business plan, spitball marketing ideas, learn accounting and finance, and build realistic cash flow projections.
In effect, you will take the first step in creating the business you have always dreamed of. Every step of the way, you’ll be guided by an experienced teacher and our proven classwork.
Growing or Retooling Your Business?
PowerUp Your Business
PowerUp is JEDI’s advanced program for existing businesses (up to 10 employees) who seek to grow, improve profitability, expand productivity and become more sustainable.
We provide advanced, customized training and private coaching from successful, proven business experts. With our help, you will drive your business to the next level of performance. PowerUp includes:
- A private assessment
- Monthly group meetings for management and owners

With JEDI’s help, you can achieve great things, including:
- Creating efficient systems, saving money and increasing productivity

(Because JEDI has received funding from the Wells Fargo Foundation and USDA Rural Microenterprise Assistance Program (RMAP) and the SBA, we can offer PowerUp to established businesses at very low cost.)
