Improving Our Local Economy

"Post COVID, thanks to the classes and collaboration with the Team Jefferson EDC's business consultants, our bottom line has stabilized, and real growth is now possible. We streamlined our operations, while the consultants provided tailored strategies to boost profits, transformed our efficiency, identified new revenue streams, and fortified our competitive edge. I highly recommend for local businesses to harness these resources for sustainable growth and success."

“This service is not only a valuable one, but a vital one for our community. Many of us get into business for our love of a craft, sometimes not understanding the particulars of making it successful and long lived. This help from the Jefferson County EDC will ensure businesses are here to stay. Best of all, the advisors are all local. The circular economy is a building block for a healthy community.”

"Working with Douglas has been one of the best things I've done for my business. I am now able to move forward with my business expansion with a better understanding of my business financials."

"Douglas shows a real in-depth knowledge of coaching businesses that can only be obtained through years of study and experience. At the outset of our free coaching sessions, quickly identified where my business was on the development spectrum and provided concrete advice of order of operations – doing the right things in the right order. His three-part approach to stabilizing and growing a business is spot on. For my attorney services business, the project costing excel sheets he created allowed me to confidently set my rates by using objective data, putting to rest nagging concerns and doubts of this core business issue. Overall, his emphasis on building processes has been a huge help in focusing my “CEO” time. I’m tremendously grateful for Douglas’s help, and count him among my most trusted advisors."
