Business Owner Groups

"Business success through peer collaboration"

“I have no one to talk with about my business challenges. I can’t talk with my employees or my spouse. I feel isolated in my decision making.”

You needn’t feel like this. Growing your business is a lot easier if you get needed help. The best help often comes from your peers—other business owners.

WE HARNESS THE POWER OF A GROUP OF SUCCESSFUL OWNERS.
If you join one of our groups of savvy business owners, you’ll get the support you need to tackle the challenges to growth you face. Our Business Groups each have 10 owners who meet once a month under our leadership. You’ll get:

- Problem-solving on your growth challenges.
- Feedback and validation
- Goal setting and accountability
- Role models
- You learn by teaching others

Large organizations have a board of outside advisors. Small businesses often lack this invaluable resource. We provide it.

WHO BELONGS. Is this for you?
Different size businesses have different problems. We have groups for three levels:
1. One- or two-person outfits. Sole professionals. May be home-based or just getting started.
2. A handful of employees. Established and growing.
3. Up to 100 or more employees. Management structure. May have multiple locations.

Our members include every kind of business. Here are a few:

IT consulting firm	Gourmet food manufacturer
Veterinary hospital	Office supply store
Restaurant	Engineering firm
General contractor	Flower shop
Auto body repair	Grant writing consultants
Print shop	Architecture and design
Bill paying and money management	Custom drapery and upholstery
CPA firm	TV production company

Who is this for? What challenges do they face? What benefit do they get from working with us?

THE BENEFIT TO YOU
Achieve your goals of growth, profitability, and desired work style

We see dramatic improvement in members’ business performance. Read their Success Stories. You often hear that 4 out of 5 small businesses go belly up within a few years. We turn that statistic on its head: 80% of our members achieve their goals.

HERE’S HOW IT WORKS
Each group of ten meets once a month for half a day, under our leadership. During the meetings, you can bring up any business issue. Here are some that are familiar to any business owner:

“I’ve got this problem employee.”
“We’ve got more business than we can handle, and can’t find good workers.”
“Business is down, and we have high overhead.”
“Give me some feedback on our new website.”

WHY DON’T ALL BUSINESS OWNERS JOIN?
Some have the “Lone Ranger Mentality.” They say things like—

“Can’t afford help.”
“Don’t need advice.”
“Just need to keep working.”

What’s the impact of this thinking? They feel isolated. They make unnecessary mistakes. Stuck in the molasses. Constricted vision. Burnout. Alas, it's It’s the flip side of our slogan . . .
“How to go crazy without growing your business!”

Don't be like the "Lone Ranger." Talk with us. Find out if one of our groups would be a good fit for you. We'll invite you to visit a meeting.
