What is a Business Roundtable Group?
It’s a group of entrepreneurs who meet online via Zoom EVERY MONTH to work on their business. Each meeting has a Leader/Facilitator who helps plan meeting activities. The group’s success comes from member participation — so showing up monthly is ESSENTIAL!
This is not merely a ‘networking group’ — it is not about selling what you do, but improving your business. We use a ’roundtable style’ so we have time to discuss your unique business issues.
What do we do Each Month?
Work on business success! Each meeting includes:
- Connecting with a group of like-minded business owners in your county.
- Group discussion time to share and explore the monthly topic as it relates to your business, including discussing your business concerns.
- We’ll cover topics of all kinds: marketing strategy, goal setting, financial improvements, using your time wisely, improving your website, building customer loyalty — and much more. Most meetings feature an expert Guest Speaker.
