The Grand Enterprise Initiative is Kapoks' first program. It is located in Grand County, Colorado in the central Colorado Rockies. The program serves a population of nearly 14,000+ people and already has over over 200 clients.

Recently Tanya Gioia of Joyous Skin Care, a Grand Enterprise Initiative client, was interviewed in the Sky-Hi News about doing business in Grand County. She had some insightful comments and was full of complements towards the Grand Enterprise Initiative.

My favorite question and answer from this interview:

If you could give advice to a novice entrepreneur, what would it be?

"Get a coach. Join a support group. “What gets measured gets managed,” do your books or hire someone to make sure you are aware of where the money is going."

That's good advice, the same advice offered to each client by Grand Enterprise Initiative business coach, Patrick Brower.
