It's lonely at the top! Most small to medium sized business owners do not have a board of directors with which to consult. At The Alternative Board, we place the owner on a board with other business owners on a monthly basis. Imagine a "master minds" group on steroids! Regardless of the business, most issues fall into 5 buckets: marketing, financial, operations, human resources and industry trends. However, privately held businesses have one more bucket to consider: exit strategy. Through our boards we have 200-250 years of combined business experience. Imagine being able to ask others about issues you are dealing with and getting real world advice - instead of a consultant who gives you a binder that will collect dust. At TAB, we are right there with you with our sleeves rolled up!
