TAB Founder and Chairman, Allen Fishman, launched TAB close to 30 years ago. He found that his board of directors was invaluable to him throughout his career. But what about the smaller business owner? Where do they go for advice? These questions led Fishman to launching TAB’s first business advisory board in 1990.
“As a small-business owner, my personal life is inextricably intertwined with my business life. Every major decision I make has potential impact on all aspects of my life, not just my business life. Both my personal and business lives are responsible for creating the dynamics that have given me the ability to be successful and happy in my role of entrepreneur.”
The modern business environment changes quickly, and as a business owner you need to be able to stay on top of shifting small business trends. This information is critical because it allows you to benchmark your business metrics against the emerging small business trends.
