Circles.

The Strategy Circle

The Strategy Circle is a closed, monthly gathering of business peers who will support, challenge and hold you accountable. Find the advice, direction and support you need to move your business forward.

Think through challenges and access resources that you would never come across on your own. For 2 hours a month, you can talk to like-minded people who really understand what it’s like to run a business. It is an encouraging and constructive place to think like a CEO and work on your business with other smart people who know stuff that you don’t.

This is a special space. It’s safe, confidential and you can deal with what is really going on in your world as an entrepreneur, You work in a group with 7 other business owners who are at a similar business level, to solve problems. Facilitated by a business strategist, this is not a tea party.
