It’s lonely at the top.
As your company grows and achieves success, it’s only natural that your relationship with the business changes, as well. You begin working on the business, not in it. Your focus expands past the day-to-day and to the long term, and you delegate more operational responsibilities. Those are smart choices, but they can feel a little isolating.
That's where an advisory board member comes in, as an individual who will come alongside you, hear your goals, provide honest feedback, and help you succeed.
Don Palmer is a good fit for your advisory board, and vice versa if you:
• have a strong desire for growth
• are coachable
• believe in collaborative management
• are open to fresh perspective
