“The only way to predict the future is to create it.” -Peter Drucker
The last 10 months have changed the face of business as we know it. PowerLink has continued to serve small businesses (under $10M in annual sales) by connecting owners to other CEO’s, working executives and advisors through an innovative advisory board model. PowerLink owners come to us when they are struggling, they have plateaued in the their business (or are sliding back a bit), they have hit a huge benchmark like $1 million, and realize that they don’t have the skills to get to $3, $5, $10 million or they are planning to sell. COVID changed the way we all are doing business.
Thanks to PowerLink’s innovative wrap-around methodology and long-term support of our owners, all but one of our companies has weathered the COVID storm. Today we are happy to report that we have 12 Community Advisory Boards serving thousands of small business owners.
Here is the Calendar for December 2020 (Community Advisory Boards). If you are interested in joining any group (you may do up to two meetings per month with your program fee), just email me. It is $150 per month plus any scholarship that you qualify for. If you want to join regularly, you will pay based on your income and profitability. Thanks to a multi-sponsor scholarship program through PNC Charitable Trust, Standard Bank Foundation, FNB Bank Foundation, Huntington Bank and Citizen’s Bank (2020/2021), we may be able to lower program fees.
