If I only knew then what I know today... Unfortunately, the majority of small businesses fail. Most private business owners that do survive spend a lot more time working than they had anticipated. Many also earn a lot less than they had hoped. More work for less pay. Bummer.
Although running a business is loaded with an infinite array of peaks, valleys, challenges, trials and tribulations, some entrepreneurs manage to succeed on a very consistent basis, year after year, company after company.
In this session, you’ll learn the most common (and costly) mistakes made by SMB entrepreneurs and how to make sure that they do not occur inside of your company.
You need someone else to look at you and say this is what you're doing right, this is what you're doing wrong
The Board helped me with accountability...
Prioritizing and focusing my time where I am really working on the business
Boards are very good at having a broad swath of industries and experience that people bring to the table
Whatever your business is, you always have to be bringing new ideas to the the table, new products, new marketing
My Board members were the only ones that were brutally honest with me about the changes I needed to make; it was the truth I needed to hear
Boards 'professionalize' my business, to learn what others were doing, and how to...make your business more organized
It's great to now have a group of individuals who can challenge me and help me avoid making the same mistakes they did
My Personal stress level today compared to prior to TAB has been reduced by 70%
