When you run a business it can be difficult to find people you can speak with, who you can trust and who understand the challenges, we as business owners have to deal with on a daily basis. It is also difficult to find people you can bounce ideas off, people who’s independent opinion is worth listening to.
That’s who the Independent Board is. We work together to fill these gaps.
Instead of selling to each other we pick a problem to solve as a group each meeting where we are all mentors to each other. Through this fresh thinking we get to experience each other’s areas of expertise in action. Focus goes on the problem solving, so we are not telling each other about our business, we’re showing how we work instead.
We’re also a networking group who share leads and opportunities, but with a difference. There is no pressure in our group.
So the business we end up doing together forms naturally and as we offer exclusivity in your industry there is no competing for the business, we want to do the business together.
