Create Your Ideal Future
I’ve worked with small businesses and solopreneurs for over 30 years, counseling hundreds of small businesses on how to create success. As an entrepreneur myself, it’s a world I know and love. Currently I’m in charge of an entrepreneurial development program at the Small Business Development Center here in Portland, where my book Better, Smarter, Richer is used as curriculum.
I’m proud to be honored as one of the 100 most powerful women in the Northwest and to have recently won the Portland Chamber of Commerce’s prestigious President’s Award in recognition of my years of working on behalf of the small business community.

Through the Better, Smarter, Richer program, I bring an innovative approach to help solopreneurs—whether creatives, encores or professionals—examine their strengths and talents and discover how they can create the most rewarding and profitable (I’m also known as “Raise Your Prices Jackie” because I help people charge what they’re worth) business imaginable. I am a successful small business workshop presenter and keynote speaker.
The origami crane has been a symbol of longevity for thousands of years. Here it’s also made of money to symbolize one of the key principles of Better, Smarter, Richer: creating your own lucrative future. You’ll find it on all our products and here on the site alongside words of wisdom from entrepreneurs who’ve created their own successful future.
