Modeled after the farm system in baseball, the Entrepreneurial League SystemŽ is designed to help entrepreneurs grow their businesses by developing their skill. We organize individual entrepreneurs into teams according to their skill in creating or growing a business – Rookies, A, AA, and AAA.

Entrepreneurs work intensively with Performance Coaches who are themselves skilled entrepreneurs, in weekly one-on-one sessions, monthly team meetings with their peers, and tri-annual large group sessions among entrepreneurs from other teams and at other skills levels. These various settings provide opportunities to learn from peers as well as from more experienced individuals about how to get to the next level of skill and performance. Our coaching program is tailored to the unique needs of entrepreneurs.

The Entrepreneurial League SystemŽ also organizes a region’s diverse set of service providers into a coherent system, so that entrepreneurs can get the right technical and financial assistance at the right time and the right price.

Our first implementation of the Entrepreneurial League SystemŽ was launched in Advantage Valley – a multi-state, 11 country region located in West Virginia, eastern Kentucky and southern Ohio – in June 2004. A second location was launched in a nine parish region in central Louisiana in July 2006, and a third will be launched in a seven county region in West Michigan in September 2007.

Currently we have more than 150 entrepreneurs participating in the system. Clients are achieving significant results in terms of sales growth, profitability and developing new skills (see Success Stories).
