We focus on accelerating the development, scale, re-engineering and sustainability of any given enterprise offering value-added consumer products, professional services and outreach ministries.

The professional coaching is facilitated by a team of skilled development and industry professionals. Additional, expert practitioners in product development, accounting, information technology, business insurance, marketing and legal documentation are also engaged to provide technical assistance. Coaching sessions are typically once per month for one to two hours, which provides adequate time for editing, feedback and further instructions. During the initial coaching session each visionary leader completes a personal assessment using the custom designed Kingdom Entrepreneurs Business Planning Assessment tool. The assessment provides a snapshot of the participant, the envisioned business or ministry and identifies what information and or resources the visionary leader has or needs to move forward in the development process. Throughout the entire process JHM team members provide intercessory prayer support corporately and individually by request.
Visionaries also complete applicable sections of the actual Business Plan Template after each power session. Participants, instructors and coaches are encouraged to seek divine wisdom through prayer for specific application of instructions and research relevant information for development strategy. At the conclusion of following the instructions the investment will produce a well designed product or service, business model, strategic business plan for implementation, alignment with resources and further guidance for successful operation.
COST: An Affordable Monthly Administrative Fee is assessed for each participant. Details available during Orientation Sessions.
