Entrepreneurship is not just business. It is the discipline of creating new, valuable offers that change the world.
At the Livingston Entrepreneurship Academy, our focus is entrepreneurship — because without it, there is no business. Business is the structure that sustains value; entrepreneurship is the act of creating it. Both are essential, but entrepreneurship is where innovation, impact, and meaning begin.
Who We Serve
At the Livingston Entrepreneurship Academy, we serve people who take entrepreneurship seriously as a craft and a way of life.
We work with:
- Emerging entrepreneurs – Those ready to move beyond survival mode—seeking clarity, stability, and a business that actually works in the real world.
- Established business owners – Leaders who want to grow without losing their soul, and who care about building workplaces where people thrive and impact deepens.
- Practitioners of entrepreneurial mastery – Individuals committed to lifelong growth—developing themselves as leaders while building businesses that create meaningful value and support extraordinary lives.
- Entrepreneur support professionals – Advisors, coaches, and experts who work with entrepreneurs and want to bring strategic value without falling back into tired, control-based defaults. Through train-the-trainer programs, we help them lead and support in more human, effective ways.
“The Livingston Business Hub didn’t just help me grow my business — it helped me find my place and my purpose in this community. Through the Hub, the Difference Maker Bootcamp, and Growing a Brilliant Business, I went from feeling invisible to feeling deeply connected, supported, and confident. This program invested in me at a level I never could have afforded on my own, and because of that investment, I’ve grown in ways that will impact my business and this community for years to come.” — Kristie Risner, Regal Payment
Conversations for the Curious Programs for the Serious
We are also determined to build a community of entrepreneurs in Livingston County — because no one can do it alone. Together, we learn, create, and support one another in ways that make us stronger than we could ever be by ourselves.
Our Community Conversations are for the curious — those exploring ideas and testing the waters. Our Programs are for the serious — those who are committed to building, scaling, and mastering the craft of entrepreneurship.
Innovation EDGE for Entrepreneurs brings local business leaders together to share new ideas, challenge our thinking, and strengthen Livingston County’s entrepreneurial community.
Entrepreneurship doesn’t happen in isolation—it thrives in community. Our live programs and events bring entrepreneurs together to plan, learn, connect, and grow in real time.
Growing a Brilliant Business guides you to design and build a business that fits who you are—then equips you to lead it.
