Ed Grant is president and owner of TAB Nashoba Valley. TAB Nashoba Valley focuses on improving diverse businesses and their owners’ lives by creating peer advisory boards of non-competing independent business owners and guiding them toward reaching their personal and business visions. Ed acts as facilitator and coach for these peer boards and members. His primary focus is working with business owners helping them to properly identify and achieve these personal and business visions.

Ed has over 35 years of successful, progressive leadership experience in general management, operations, product development and strategic project leadership. He has extensive experience in building, coaching, and developing very successful, motivated teams across all aspects of the business landscape.

The highly effective TAB approach of peer advisory boards, coaching techniques, and analytical tools provide the perfect vehicle to bring his experience in business and leadership together to help business owners connect their personal vision with their business vision, and keep them aligned to maximize both satisfaction and success.

If you would like to learn more about our invitation-only membership model and how it may be able to help you and your business, let’s connect and explore if TAB might be a fit for you.

As a TAB member, through the regular coaching sessions and monthly Board meetings, I gain invaluable mentor and peer support. The TAB ethos and coaching approach has helped me to plan personal and business goals and set direction. This is supported by the wealth of knowledge, skills, experience and support that is shared by the board who provide Impartial, informed and considered guidance and advice on all types of business issues, that enable me to gain fresh perspectives, identify blind spots and fill my skill gaps. Over the last twelve months TAB has effectively become my company’s non-executive board and its members my trusted colleagues.

There is no silver bullet to becoming successful, you just have to stay focused on your goals. TAB has helped my business grow significantly by encouraging me to take a step back and identify the basics I need.

TAB helped me to focus on the things that have made my business scalable. I was tempted to divert my attention to another endeavor, but TAB helped me determine that was not prudent. The economy, and specifically new building starts, have helped, but the degree of capitalization would not have been possible were it not for TAB. I compare my situation with another franchise owner who was in my shoes several years ago and I am way ahead, in fact we just bought him out. My revenues have doubled, and my capacity has increased four times from what it was three years ago. I have time to be with my girls, work on my hobbies and enjoy life.

We have an excellent group of professional business owners. I learn something from them each month. Hearing and seeing what they are doing in their business is motivational for me. And they are not "yes" people. They tell me when I should be doing something differently.

My TAB coach has gotten me on track and kept me on track since 2005 toward the goals I’d originally stated," says Perlmeter. "I’m totally confident that we’ll continue to realize the vision that I have for the company in our second decade.

16 yrs. in business. Company was run like mom and pop shop for 14 years. Since joining TAB we have been able to identify our niche in the market and now the company is being run like a real company with focus and clarity as to where we are going and an actual plan on how we’re going to get there. Our company is poised to grow in size and wealth beyond my expectations and with TAB I will be able to sleep at night in the process.
