Business Owners Advisory Councils

The concept of growth through peer-to-peer groups has been around for hundreds of years.  Benjamin Franklin created the Junto in the early 1700’s.  The idea was to draw individuals from diverse occupations and backgrounds who shared in a spirit of inquiry and a desire to improve themselves, their community, and to help others. In 1925, peer-to-peer mentoring was coined mastermind groups by the author Napoleon Hill.  In Napoleon Hill’s case, is was to bring two or more people together in harmony to solve hard problems.

Business Owners Advisory Councils are built around these same guiding principles. The Councils bring ten to twelve business owners together in a private, trusted advisory forum to help each member improve themselves, their businesses, and their communities.

Each Council consists of business owners from different, non-competing industries who come together on a monthly basis to discuss key issues and opportunities with their peers.  The Councils are led by a Council Chairmen with over 30 years of experience in starting, operating, and transitioning businesses.

In addition to monthly meetings, each Council also has expert speakers who present half day sessions once a quarter.  These speakers are selected by the Council Members and topics range from personal/professional development, sales & marketing, human resources, to the latest in technology. 

Annual retreats are also a big part of the Business Owners Advisory Councils.  In some years the Council members will spend two days at a local resort, and in other years Council Members and their spouses have gone to places like Cabo San Lucas.
