Is it possible to predict success in 2021? The critical role of planning with other business owners this year, like no other, will make a dynamic difference!
The last nine months have changed the face of business as
we know it. PowerLink has continued to
serve more than 115 companies through its work provided by retired CEO’s,
working executives and advisors to small business owners in the $50,000 to $3
million revenue category. 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 CEO Circles formed that are meeting monthly. Because of the needs of our owners over the last nine months, we have also developed five, very low cost Technical Assistance Services including: QuickBooks set up and reporting, Digital and Web Marketing services, Legal Assistance, Human Resources Assistance and Business Valuation Services and now offer private one-on-one coaching at no additional charge.
Here is the CEO Circle Calendar for November (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 and FNB Foundation, we may be able to lower program fees.
