Client Testimonials

One Smartbiz client stated, "having coaches to guide me step by step makes all the sense in the world. I have had great ideas given to me by my coaches, goals to be met, and am held accountable to someone else about the success of my business. I am so thankful to the great coaches, the networking, and the developed skills. When Smartbiz became known to me I jumped at the opportunity and am so glad I did!."

"The Smartbiz program is one of the more rewarding experiences in recent years," said one of the Smartbiz Coaches.

Another  Smartbiz Coach stated, "the first six weeks with our team has worked out very well, and all participants continue to express how helpful the sessions are to them. Having more than one coach is a positive because the weekly team meetings can go forward even if one coach is not available. We find that each coach has a different area of special knowledge, which has helped us find solutions to the various challenges our participants face.·Because of this, we haven't yet had to call on any outside experts."


"In all likelihood had we not consulted with the CCE we would have possibly never been able to open our doors. We would have most likely made monumental mistakes that would have been detrimental in the development of our adult daycare facility."

"In first approaching the CCE I had the expectation of opening my own bakery within 3 months. After one on one counseling sessions and careful review of my business plan I soon discovered that it would be in my best interest to stay at my present job in a bakery and continue doing some side work to raise additional capital."
