Why have an Advisory Board?

Where does a business owner turn to for help in making critical business decisions?  The best reason to have an advisory board is to be accountable to someone.  Reporting the success or failure of the business to a 3rd party, on a regular basis, is a strong motivating factor for the business owner.  While most large business firms have strict reporting requirements, the sole business owner often does not take the time to take stock of the progress of the operation.  Although planning is crucial, it is the execution of the plan that contributes to success; and, execution is about accountability and responsibility.

In addition to the Accountability, there are numerous benefits of having an Advisory Board:

» Receive real-world business knowledge and experience from an outside source

» Improve odds of success

» Overcome isolation

» Engage in group problem solving with willing, informed listeners

» Deal with personal issues affecting business progress

» Gain a sounding board and get constructive feedback

» Enhance business network
