The Advisory Board
Are you struggling with complex business issues?
Peer to peer Advisory boards are here to help Business owners in an ever-changing business landscape, where competition is stiff, budgets are tight, and the labour market is challenging (especially in the current climate). Everyone is looking for any advantage.
Business Advisory Boards can help proactive entrepreneurs accelerate their personal and professional growth with peer to peer review and input from other business owners.

What is an Advisory Board?
While CEOs of large corporations have boards of directors, small business owners are often on their own. They may have employees, but it’s inappropriate to lean on them for advice and support about major decisions.
Our Business Advisory Boards help proactive entrepreneurs accelerate their personal and professional growth by assembling a group of peers and allowing each member to experience new perspectives and peer support from one another. We meet with the single purpose of helping each other succeed.
Unique peer to peer Groups of Non-Competing Business Owners.
Our boards are made up of a small group of up to eight non-competing business owners.
Every board holds monthly in-person meetings where members take turns discussing their challenges and receiving advice and accountability. Group members encourage each other to set bold goals and offer mutual support in accomplishing those goals.
