Achieve your
dreams faster.

Why reinvent the wheel when someone else already has?

Instead of researching how to improve marketing, sales, operations, financial management, employee retention and development, technology for business, planning systems and processes, let me and our board show you what works already, and help you adapt it to your business.

Honestly, I don't know where I would be as a business owner without The Alternative Board. I have learned so much through Robert and other business owners alike. There hasn't been 1 time where I haven't felt like I've learned something useful.

How we work together.

1

Put a Stake in the Ground.

We establish where you are now – mentally, physically, financially. We put a virtual stake in the ground that says, “You are here.” You may not like where you are now, but you have to look at reality before you can take the first steps to improve. There is no judgment here…just acceptance and understanding of you and your business.

2

See Clearly.

Clarify your visions for yourself and your business. “What do you want?” Too often people muddle through the answer to that question. Let’s not muddle – let’s find clarity.

3

Build the Action Plan.

Let’s build the path and action plan to get you from where you are to where want to go.

4

Peer Wisdom and Accountability.

Join business leaders and peer advisors in a monthly board meeting to evaluate your challenges and opportunities and develop customized solutions and next steps for you and your business. Who holds you accountable now? When was the last time you committed to do something to improve yourself and your business and it never happened? Accountability isn’t a bad word…it’s the not-so-secret sauce of success.

5

Use Tools that Really Work.

Use powerful business tools and proprietary systems that are proven to work. Don’t reinvent the system – use one that has already helped other business leaders achieve success.

6

Connect with a Community that Cares.

Let me connect you with other business owners around the country and around the world who are working to solve, or have already solved, the same problems you are trying to solve. Our community of business leaders is 100% invested in each other’s success.

7

Enjoy Freedom and Success.

Make your business work for you. From profit to prosperity, you will finally connect with why you started your business in the first place. Love your business again.

Going above and beyond.

As a The Alternative Board (TAB) certified coach and board facilitator, I offer exclusive access to these services:

Your business will never outperform you.

I know it. I’ve been there.

I had the tools and community, but I was not focused on the right mission. My relationships around me suffered while I continued to work longer and harder than I needed to.

I was eager to make an impact in this world. I wanted to make more money. You don’t have to wait like I did to make a big change in your life.

It’s time to commit to yourself to be the best business owner that you can be. If you improve yourself, you will improve your business. Don’t continue to wonder if you will achieve your dreams, change the narrative in your head to “how big and how soon” will you achieve them.

Take that vacation, spend more precious moments with your family, build memories that last forever, live a healthier lifestyle, and be more involved in your community. Make generational wealth. Live with a greater vision and know that you made the greatest impact you could in this life. It starts now.

I can't recommend Robert enough. He has a sharp business mind, his ethics are beyond reproach, and he's a joy to partner with. I think of him as being an extension of my business and I know he thinks of my business and me the same way. If you're considering partnering with Robert, it's truly a no-brainer."

More about TAB

What if an organization existed that is 100% focused on small business owners, that offers a minimum 300% return on a monthly investment, with a no-risk guarantee? What if this organization could help business owners build better businesses, increase their confidence and business acumen, help them clarify their goals, create better systems and processes, improve their focus, and reduce their stress?  What if they also had more time and money to enjoy life?  Well, this organization does exist, and it is called The Alternative Board (TAB). And we help business owners like you every day, and we’ve been doing this for 30 years.

Business owners are dedicated, hard-working, committed people who do their best to build a business and create a better life. They work hard to do the best they can with the knowledge they have. But like any professional, they only know what they know and often may not know what they should know to build a better business.

TAB understands that large companies have a board of directors for a reason.  Most executives understand that their knowledge and experience are limited and that by surrounding themselves with other experienced business leaders, they can leverage their collective wisdom and experience to make better decisions.  They will also improve their assessment of business opportunities and accelerate their success by having a group of business leaders that holds them accountable for doing what they say they will do.  

When business owners work with TAB, they benefit from having a board of peer advisors and an experienced coach, and magic happens. They have a trusted and confidential group of local business leaders to help them think critically about challenges and opportunities, to offer them advice and suggestions, and to hold them accountable for commitments they make to themselves.
