B.R.I.D.G.E Membership
The Business Resilience & Impact Development Group for Entrepreneurs
Ready To Transform Your Business Into A Profitable Enterprise That Makes A Difference?
Most purpose-driven entrepreneurs lack the systems, the structure, and the support to grow sustainably.
![[Systems, Structure, Expert-led support]](https://kajabi-storefronts-production.kajabi-cdn.com/kajabi-storefronts-production/file-uploads/themes/2160848912/settings_images/e31c833-d2b-3ea-a765-aa1c1f0222_B.R.I.D.G.E_Imagery_12_.png)
At B.R.I.D.G.E. we provide:
✔ The systems that create clarity
✔ The structure that simplifies operations
✔ The expert-led support that drives implementation.
Once an entrepreneur has all three, their business can become profitable, scalable, aligned with their values, and ready to create community impact.
STOP
The old way is trying to learn everything from courses or free content, and never having time to implement it.
It doesn’t work because it keeps you isolated, overwhelmed, and stuck in theory.
START
The B.R.I.D.G.E. Membership breaks this cycle by providing the comprehensive support you need to transform your business from struggling to thriving. This isn't just another "how-to" course—it's a practical framework that delivers tangible results.
"Because you deserve to thrive—not just survive."
Think of B.R.I.D.G.E. as your personal business think tank—a team of experts and fellow entrepreneurs ready to help solve your specific challenges through proven systems and strategies.
We focus on helping small business owners build excellence in accounting, finance, and operations as the pillars for a thriving business.
Whether it's setting up your accounting system, choosing the right team training platform, or transitioning from solopreneur to CEO, we're here to work with you.
Instead of relying on outside bookkeeping, we help you leverage technology to create timely, accurate, and easily understandable financial statements.
A Note From Rachel:
"I didn’t set out to be a social entrepreneur—I just couldn’t ignore the inequities I saw around me."
After years of working at some of the most prominent companies in the world, I launched ‘Laine’s Bake Shop in Chicago to create jobs for re-entering citizens and uplift disinvested neighborhoods.
I was driven by a vision: a business that didn’t just sustain me, but built community wealth.And I’ll be honest—it was hard.
I was navigating capital deserts, confusing financial systems, and a whole lot of trial and error.But I learned that the key isn’t working harder.
It’s building the right support system.That’s why I created the B.R.I.D.G.E. Membership—so no one else has to figure this out alone with a clear path to eliminate entrepreneurial poverty.

Client Feedback
Henry Wishcamper, Bustling Spaces LLC
"I have had the tremendous pleasure to partner with EJ Consortium over the last year to provide technical assistance to a cohort of recipients of the City of Chicago’s Together We Heal Creative Place grant program. I have been greatly impressed with the breadth and the depth of the advice that EJC provides its clients across business development, finance, operations, technology platforms, and more. Rachel is a great listener and is able to quickly synthesize complex challenges to offer custom solutions that are mission-driven, practical and sustainable over the long-term."
Claire Rice, Executive Director, Arts Alliance Illinois
"EJ Consortium offers valuable administrative and operational support, especially during staff transitions. They provide thoughtful systems advice, employ capable front-line staff, and maintain proactive communication, ensuring smooth operations and a seamless transition process. The team's adaptability and attention to detail consistently exceed our expectations. We are impressed with their professionalism and dedication, making them a trusted partner for our temporary support needs."
Coya Castro, Owner of Excel In Leadership Institute
The membership reminds me about the difference between rich people and people who don’t have as much money. Rich people can afford all the services that save them time—maids, people to do their laundry—so they can focus on their goals. But for the rest of us, we have to juggle all the personal responsibilities, work, and still somehow find time to build a business. That’s what I think this membership really offers: a way to get your time back, or at least use your time in a better way.
Crystal Coats, Owner, Legacy Consulting Group LLC
While working with Rachel on the VIP Day, my goal was to walk away with clear decisions made, and that’s exactly what happened. Within the first 20 minutes, I already felt like, ‘This is great.’ Especially for a business owner like me, with my size and level of experience, just having a thought partner to help validate my ideas was really helpful [...] and made a big difference.
