ADVISORY BOARDS
An Advisory Board is a group of people (can be as small as 4) with diversified interests and opinions. The group can meet once a month or maybe every other month for about 2 hrs. ea. meeting. Each person has a chance to speak and should prepare something like the previous month's *Accomplishments, Challenges & Goals. *(these will be discussed in a future Post). A Moderator for each meeting can be chosen to manage the division of time.
BENEFITS:
Talking with others in business who can:
* be supportive
* give unbiased ideas & help
* share your successes & celebrate your accomplishments
* understand your strengths & weaknesses
* bring fresh, new ideas to the table
* give you socialization with others in business
* help expand your business & personal goals
* keep you updated on other businesses or New business ideas
* give YOU the opportunity to help others with your good ideas and support
The Group becomes your Business Family. You come back to your business energized and with a new perspective and creative ideas. I have been in a group for over 15 years and find it one of the cheapest, most helpful things I have done for ME and for my Yard Card business devolopment.
To set one up costs nothing unless you get speakers or go to dinner together.
Form a Group of dedicated people who will be honest with you about their business and yours. Donot make it larger than 8 people or time for each person will be limited. STAY on TRACK at the meetings and make it a commitment. Please comment if you need more help with this idea!
