By helping communities and regions identify and develop entrepreneurial talent effectively, efficiently and equitably and on a large-scale, sustainable basis, the Entrepreneurial League System® produces benefits for entrepreneurs, service providers and the community as a whole. For entrepreneurs, the Entrepreneurial League System® gives them: - A system of structured support for achieving the goals that they’ve set
- A road map of how to get from here to there
- Help in focusing on the key tasks necessary to build their businesses
- Encouragement and support from fellow entrepreneurs who know exactly what they are going through
- Other perspectives on the challenges they face, and ideas about how to solve them
- Access to additional resources – by trading or sharing or referring
- Financial and technical assistance that is integrated and customized according to their level of skill
- Help in progressing to higher levels of skill and achievement in building their company
- A set of reference points by which to benchmark their performance and to expand their vision about what is possible
These benefits make the business less costly to start, more likely to succeed, less time-consuming to achieve success and more capable of generating a greater return on investment. For service providers, the Entrepreneurial League System® helps: - Create demand for services and improve utilization
- Produce more qualified, prescreened clients who are willing and eager to capitalize on the assistance they receive to grow their businesses
- Providers take preventive rather than corrective action on problems entrepreneurs are experiencing.
- Link different kinds of services for synergistic effect
- Enable services to be delivered more cost-effectively
- Foster coordination among service providers
Finally, the Entrepreneurial League System® benefits the community by: - Enabling a view of the economic community as a whole, not just parts
- Focusing on all levels/kinds of entrepreneurs – neither “trickle-up,” nor “trickle-down”
- Connects all rungs of the skill development ladder together, so that movement is possible
- Produces a continuous stream of new companies and business leaders
- Operates on a large enough scale to have impact on the culture
