You can choose to go it alone as a small business owner or you can seek out a network of individuals who are in the same place. They are running a business and could use the benefit of other business owners’ advice and ideas exchange. They say there is strength in numbers, and that is exactly what TAB offers.
TAB members benefit from a combination of resources that frame a comprehensive approach to developing business solutions. That approach includes one-on-one coaching, peer-to-peer meetings, and the advantage of third party perspectives. While each aspect of the approach has its own distinct benefits, there is one overriding principle that puts TAB ahead of the game. In his testimonial video, Tom Wechsler of Wechsler Engineering and Consulting shares the crux of TAB’s approach: TAB doesn’t tell you what to do, but instead helps you figure out what to do.
Why One-on-One?
One-on-one sessions help a business owner formulate thoughts, understand their goals, and set the direction their business will take to reach those goals. There is someone to keep you disciplined, focused, and moving forward. These sessions help you figure out “how to get there” and bring out your own thoughts on what to do.
Why Peer-to-Peer?
The advantage of peer-to-peer meetings is above all else, getting unbiased, outside feedback. That can often be difficult – if not, impossible – for a business owner to get. This unbiased feedback comes from people who sit outside of a business but you share similar issues, who have been there before, and perhaps who look at things differently. The most important takeaway is that outside feedback based on your own thoughts.
The Independent View
It’s the independent views and third party perspectives TAB members receive that make this comprehensive approach so successful. Robert L. Brown of RL Brown and Associates underscores the importance of these perspectives by observing that things aren’t lonely with TAB. You don’t have to go it alone because there are resources available when issues arise.
Bobby House of VP Commercial Lending Brookhaven Bank asks fellow business owners, “Where do you get your advice?” and points out TAB can give the valuable advice a business owner needs. TAB is like a think tank for small business owners. Having so many different businesses but experiencing similar issues is an excellent way to generate new perspectives or approaches to unsolved problems and everyday organizational challenges.
This doesn’t mean that you only have to be stuck on business problems to join and benefit from what TAB has to offer. Advice on how to capitalize on growth prospects is always helpful even when things are going well. What if you are simply stuck in the day to day issues of your business instead of attending to the creative side? Ellie Schmittenger of Eldercare Systems, Inc. explains, “TAB can revitalize things,” leaving you to get back to aspects of your business you enjoy most.
Listen, Plan, Do and Report
TAB can help medium-sized companies as well as small businesses shape their strategy and execute on tactics that will achieve specific business goals and objectives. Jay Bear of Scofield Timber Company shares his perspective by pointing out TAB has made him a better, more solid business manager. He believes this is because TAB members aren’t passive recipients. The process is a lot of work, but well worth it. Members listen, plan, do and report. With this process, solid plans are devised based on the advice given and received, and the results speak for themselves.
