We believe it takes immense courage to be the owner of a local small business. You put yourself, your reputation, your family, your team and your business on the line every moment of every day as you navigate the murky waters of owning, leading, managing and growing your local small business! We believe that courage should be rewarded with the time, money and freedom you went into business for in the first place.

Thousands of businesses closed their doors forever due to the effects of the pandemic, massive inflation, uncertain international situations, and the impact and toll continues to escalate. But, it doesn't have to be that way! Coach Doug Barra believes that as entrepreneurs we are in control of our own destinies, not the government, the economy, or any other external factor.

We believe that small businesses are the backbone of our nation’s economy and the character of our community. ActionCOACH^® BusinessSUCCESS^® is focused on local small business growth strategies that are innovative yet combined with tried and true business practices to create businesses that stand the test of time.
