TAKE YOUR BUSINESS TO 
The next level
                    
                    If you are a business owner who is ready to take your business to new heights, the Joseph Business School Executive Accelerator Program (EAP) will help you take flight.
                    EAP is a six-week program designed to provide established entrepreneurs opportunities to learn how to accelerate and position their businesses to dominate the marketplace and transform communities. Through interactive learning and
                        peer perspective, participants will gain a growth plan toolkit designed to take their businesses to the next level, equipping them as strategic leaders and producing new solutions to the challenges faced by today’s society.
                    EAP gives leaders, executives, and teams at the highest levels of an organization the experiences, tools, and resources needed to break through personal barriers, transform thinking, and approach top-of-mind issues with a Kingdom perspective.

ACCELERATOR STORIES FROM EAP ALUMNI
    
    
        
            “I took the JBS Executive Accelerator Program to grow our business and increase our revenue stream. A few takeaways I learned in the program are how organization skills are important to growth and how to implement them, how to develop a growth
                plan, and how to increase mental capacity through biblical meditation. The program has been a great success for our company. Since the program, our company won several contracts and the total value of the contacts will exceed $5 million.”

                    “My company has received its CAGE Code to bid on projects with the federal government, my company received the $10,000 for small businesses, and my company was approved to bid on state of Illinois procurement.”

                    “JBS/EAP increased my belief system to know that greater is He that is in you than he that is in the world. Don’t back down but step forward because you possess indispensable skills and undeniable value.”
