WHY DO SMALL BUSINESS OWNERS GET INTO BUSINESS?


What is it that drives them to lead their companies and wrestle with the daily grind and routine? 


What do they want to get from being a business owner/leader

  Freedom, Autonomy, Time, Money, Prestige,

Personal Satisfaction?


How many small business owners truly achieve their personal goals and vision?


QUITE OFTEN, THE SMALL BUSINESS OWNER

  • IS A SLAVE OF THE BUSINESS;
  • DOES NOT HAVE TIME EXCEPT TO CHASE THE CUSTOMERS
  • IS PUTTING OUT FIRES
  • IS NOT EARNING ENOUGH, OR
  • NEEDS MORE CASH FOR THE BUSINESS
  • IS LONELY AT THE TOP

​


​Savvy and forward-thinking business owners join with a team and utilize collaboration, commitment, and accountability.



​​​PEER ADVISORY BOARDS

Our Associates

At TAB we believe that small business owners must think and act like winners in order to be winners. These are the seven principles for championship level winning business owners.

    You are a winner if:

  • You are achieving your personal vision of success (including relationships and family).
  • You run the business from a strategic plan rather than by the tyranny of the urgent.
  • You measure success objectively using well-defined key performance indicators.
  • You differentiate your value proposition from your competition and your customers know it.
  • You nurture your people - they are your most important asset.
  • You make your brand stand for something and is reinforced based on every action you and your people take.
  • You do not make important business decisions in isolation; you utilize a coach and a team of other owners that provide perspective and accountability.


The last principle pertains to PEER ADVISORY BOARDS, the foundation of The Alternative Board.


TAB Board Membership provides sound team principles to small business owners: Collaboration, Commitment, and Accountability. Much like a wrestling team, where the team members participate individually, matched against an opponent; yet they practice together as a team, helping each other learn new moves, get stronger, provide encouragement and feedback and accountability; so do the TAB Board Members, work together as a team, providing input on various and similar business challenges that each must wrestle with each day: employee issues, customer challenges, sales, operations, quality, and so on. The team provides support and an environment of collaboration, commitment, and accountability, which is difficult to achieve alone. Even if you, the business owner, have a team, have employees, and/or have an accountant, you are ultimately responsible for the success or failure of YOUR business. Having a team of business owners that you can trust, that know how you feel, know what you are going through and can provide input for you based on their own experience, is the best support possible. THE ALTERNATIVE BOARD - what other alternative do you have for WINNING THE GAME OF BUSINESS?​
