Work with Jackie

Over 55 and worried about money?

As a small business consultant and coach, I now work exclusively through the Small Business Development Center at Portland Community College. 503.722.5080 .

Contact them for advising with me and they will get you signed in as an SBDC Client (no cost or obligation) and connect you with me. If you contact me directly I will first make sure you have registered as an SBDC client (no cost or obligation to you).

Then I can work with you via Zoom or on the phone. There is NO CHARGE to you for using my consulting services through SBDC.

These consultations will help you uncover your strengths and talents and achieve a clear focus for your entrepreneurial path. I will show you how to narrow your product or service offerings and achieve “right pricing” so you can actually thrive doing what you love.

Together we will discover the gold in your background or your idea, and help you to build a lucrative business and/or an encore career as a solopreneur.

I look forward to talking with you.
