2 Pathways to Economic Empowerment & Transformation
At My Venture Coach, we believe there’s more than one way to build a better future. That’s why we offer two powerful learning tracks designed to meet individuals where they are and help them grow.
Entrepreneurship Pathway
For individuals ready to turn their ideas into impact and income.
Certified Entrepreneurial Professional (CEP): A 3-course, stage-based learning journey designed for individuals launching or growing a venture, ideal for nonprofits, workforce development programs, and community-based organizations seeking to provide economic mobility through entrepreneurship.
Entrepreneurship is more than starting a business, it's a proven pathway to economic empowerment, generational wealth, and community revitalization. For historically marginalized populations, it offers a route to self-determination and financial independence that transcends traditional employment barriers.
By offering this pathway, your organization invests in long-term transformation. You equip individuals with practical skills, a growth mindset, and the long-term support of a vibrant online community that includes weekly live meetups, expert-led Q&A, workshops, and curated resources. The flexible, live-online course format and one-on-one coaching make the experience accessible and personal.
When you expand access to entrepreneurial education, you help close wealth gaps, inspire local innovation, and strengthen the communities you serve—one entrepreneur at a time.
Business Management Pathway
For individuals seeking career advancement and leadership roles
Certified Business Management Professional (CBMP): A 3-course career advancement track that prepares individuals for supervisory and leadership roles, ideal for nonprofits, workforce agencies, and community programs focused on economic mobility through employment growth.
Advancing in today’s workforce requires more than technical know-how, it demands strategic thinking, communication skills, and confidence in leading others. For individuals from underserved communities, promotions into management roles can be life-changing—opening doors to higher income, greater stability, and increased influence in the workplace.
Through this pathway, your organization empowers individuals to step into leadership with clarity and competence. Participants build real-world skills in operations, decision-making, and team dynamics—plus they receive personalized coaching and access to our vibrant online community for ongoing support, resources, and growth.
The Business Management Pathway not only enhances job readiness—it helps individuals rise into roles that elevate their families and communities. By investing in their upward mobility, you're building stronger organizations and a more inclusive economy from within.
“Entrepreneurship and Business Management Skills are critical pathway to economic growth and wealth-building, especially for marginalized communities."

Support is a
must have!
In 2023 alone, over 5.5 million new business applications were filed in the U.S.—but fewer than 10% made it past the early stages. The dream is alive, but without real support, most ventures never take off.
And in the workplace, the story is similar. Many individuals have the drive and talent to lead, but only 1 in 4 employees feel they have access to the training needed to move into leadership roles. Yet those who do gain management skills and earn promotions see an average 18–25% increase in salary.
Whether you’re launching a business or aiming for a promotion, support is the difference between staying stuck and moving forward.
Without the right guidance, structure, and community, even the most inspired ideas—and careers—can lose momentum. That’s why My Venture Coach provides more than information. We provide a pathway, a partner, and a place to grow.
PartnershipÂ
Our mission is to help individuals transform their lives whether by launching a business or advancing into leadership roles through access to practical education, coaching, and long-term support.
As a seasoned entrepreneur, educator and business executive, I know firsthand that success doesn’t come from just taking a class or scrolling the internet. Whether you’re starting a venture or seeking a promotion, meaningful growth requires a clear pathway, expert guidance, and a supportive community.
That’s why we created My Venture Coach—a comprehensive, personalized, and ongoing support system designed to equip individuals with the tools, confidence, and connections they need to succeed in work and life.
