Leading a peer
advisory board is a stimulating and rewarding experience - but it is not
for everyone. As you examine possible business opportunities, however,
you might want to examine the features that make this activity
attractive….and equally, you might wonder what the best way is to get up
and running and to accelerate YOUR road to profitability.
Your first step
is to determine whether serving as a coach, mentor, and guide to a
diverse group of entrepreneurs offers you the kind of challenge you
enjoy and that fits your personal style and personal goals. We find that
are three primary attributes that are the prerequisites for success in
this endeavor:
-
Extensive
management experience
-
A successful
track record of accomplishments in the things you've done before
-
A strong
desire to be your own boss and control your own future
In addition, we
find these "common core" personal characteristics that tend to spell
success:
-
Excellent
communication and people skills
-
Self-confidence, enthusiasm and dedication
-
Willingness
to learn from others and capitalize on successful operational models
that have worked for others
-
Commitment
to business ethics and personal integrity
If your
personality fits that profile, here’s a profile of what the peer
advisory group business can offer you:
-
An
opportunity to capitalize on your business experience
-
A business
you can get into quickly that is not a franchise and that does
not require you to pay royalties or ongoing fees
-
A lifestyle
compatible activity that lets you control your time commitments
-
An
intellectual challenge with constant exposure to new ideas
-
A proven
marketing system that does not require cold calls
-
A concept
that works on its own or in conjunction with your other business
interests
-
A business
that requires minimal capital investment in facilities or equipment
-
An
expandable concept that allows you to develop additional revenue
sources
-
A lifestyle
that gives you maximum flexibility to travel or otherwise "do your
thing"
-
An
occupation that can be part time or full time, according to your own
preference
-
A business
you can manage from your home, and operate in inexpensive rented
meeting space in business centers, banquet facilities, bank, law or
CPA firm board rooms, even in member's conference rooms.
-
An income
expectation that can go into six figures
-
The
satisfaction of helping your members, and watching groups of initial
strangers become one another’s friends, customers and clients
Getting started
If you’ve read
this far, you probably sense a fit between this activity and your
personality and goals. And, being of an entrepreneurial nature, you
might think you can just plunge right in and start organizing and
running groups.
Wrong!
To learn how to successfully build a Peer
Advisory Group Business, please visit our website,
PeerAdvisoryBoard.com. Actually, in a personal business like
this, a phone call is an even better way to start. Ray’s phone
number is 312-337-3658, and it’s the quickest way to mutually decide if
a personal meeting is in order.
A word to the wise about
franchises
If you’ve been
thinking about your own business, you’ve probably examined any number of
franchise opportunities. Note that this is not a franchise! There
is no franchise fee! There is no royalty! There is no ongoing fee!
There is no requirement to purchase supplies or equipment. There are no
limits on your independence. Since you’re totally your own boss,
you can’t be unfairly terminated, nor can you be restricted in what else
you do, while you’re running your groups or should you decide to go on
to something else.
