As a member of TAB, Tennessee Valley, I have realized significant and measurable improvement in my business results. Both Jim Morris and my TAB Board have really opened my eyes and allowed me to implement changes that have increased my
revenue, reduced my liability, and helped me deal with human resource issues much more effectively. I am better positioned to grow my business and make choices that I couldn’t do as easily as in the past.

Bryan Animal Clinc MEMBER SINCE 2015

Before joining TAB, Tennessee Valley, I had become engulfed by the daily tasks of owning and running a small business. I was spending too much time running the business and not enough time growing it. I am greatly impressed with Jim’s ability to understand my business and the daily challenges it presents. His vast knowledge and the business experiences shared by Board members during our meetings has helped me transition from working IN my business to working ON my business. Thanks to Jim’s coaching and the guidance and support of my TAB Board members, my business continues to grow and I have more time for family and the hobbies I enjoy.
