Membership Information ...

Our Mission
Helping entrepreneurs to help each other have happier personal lives and more successful businesses. We are there for those who want to be in business for themselves but not just by themselves.

How it works
Entrepreneurs are recruited into membership (there's an annual membership fee). They are placed in a group with about 10 other entrepreneurs, carefully selected so there are no conflicts of interest among the group members. Each member signs a Confidentiality Contract, promising never to disclose anything that is discussed in a group meeting. Under the guidance of BRT staff, the group meets once per month for about three hours to discuss business (and sometimes personal) problems, challenges and opportunities. The whole idea is to allow each member to tap into the collective wisdom and experience of the group to help them prevent mistakes, solve tricky business situations and to maximize their opportunities. Business Round Table provides entrepreneurs with an opportunity to discuss with their peers business matters of importance to them. They can bounce ideas off the others, get new ideas about solving old problems and share each other's experiences in order to help each other become more successful in business. Benefits include:

• Sounding Board - Being able to bounce things off trusted advisors to see what they think of your ideas or problems.
  
• New Ideas - tapping in to the creative ideas of others.
  
• Business Knowledge and Information - Accessing the expertise of other business people.
  
• Problem Solving - using the collective wisdom of the group to help solve your business problems.
  
• New Business Friends and Fun - a special bond builds between the members of the group and they enjoy being together.
  
• Increase Personal Efficiency - Learn from others how to say no, get out of things and delegate more effectively. All this helps free up time for yourself.

Testimonials ...

“It has been a great 10 years. It is hard to summarize all the positive things that the group has helped me with – marketing, HR issues, accounting, strategic planning, personal issues and other areas. It has been said that you can’t make every mistake yourself.  This interaction with other business owners allows you to learn from other entrepreneurs with varied experiences and backgrounds. I could not recommend enough that every business owner find a group to join."

“Business Round Table quite simply is my liaison to reason and order. Listening to the thoughts and suggestions of my BRT colleagues not only contributes to the growth and profitability of my two businesses, but enhances me personally. I have no hesitation in recommending membership."
