“In the first three months my board saved me $75k.  TAB is a great investment for any business owner.”

“TAB provides me with a good sounding board.  All the members of my board have the same issues with our businesses and it is great to get to discuss them with others outside of my company.  I never get to step back and look at the big issues because I am too busy with the day-to-day activities of my business.  TAB helps me to step back and look at those issues and address them.  The seminars are great.  TAB has also helped me get organized especially in working on my finances.  It has been an overall good experience.”

“The way that I discovered TAB was Tina used my business as a vendor for her business.  I went to a seminar offered by a competitor of TAB, and although they had a speaker that made quite an impact on me, I realized that the reason they could afford such a speaker was because their monthly dues were much more expensive than TAB’s.  I realized that the concept TAB represents had incredible potential for my business at a reasonable price.  Tina is professional, talented and focused.  Her past business experience combined with these traits allow her and her business to offer a great deal to her board members.  The facilitator is very knowledgeable in the financial aspects of business and is helping my wife with that for my company.  There is good cohesiveness on our board.  It is well worth the value to be able to share my challenges with all of the different types of business people on my board.  We all have different lives but we seem to be able to help each other.  It is nice to have people help you with your problems using different thought processes.  The board is a nice peer group because we all bring different things to the table.  I enjoy the people, which is very important.”

“After more than 15 years in business I was fortunate to be referred by a friend to Tina Corner and The Alternative Board.  Joining this great organization has proven to be one of the best business moves of my career.  The support and guidance that comes from my board, my facilitator, and the Strategic Business Leadership (SBL) program has enabled me to take my business to levels I never thought of before.  Without this group I would not be where I am today.  I strongly encourage anyone who is looking to take a business to the next level to consider this wonderful program.”

“My experience with TAB has been a positive one both with the board meetings and the one to one coaching with Tina.  Providing an atmosphere of stimulating conversation away from the daily routine normally associated with my business, the board meetings provide:

Comfort that our businesses are facing similar challenges;
Insight from different approaches to problem solving;
                Information from a wide variety of professional expertise; and,
                Exposure to situations that may affect my business in the future.

The individual coaching provides time for business specific problem solving, through a review of personal and business issues from a strategic approach.  This approach is not possible while one is embroiled in the day to day tactical rat race that characterizes a large number of small businesses today.”
