Meetings will involve group coaching and strategy to assist the small business owner and professionals amongst their group with their current initiatives and challenges. A new trend is emerging among professionals in many fields. They are forming groups to coach each other and share their resources, experiences and support. The benefits from these groups are huge. You can't think of everything yourself. In many fields people learn to work in teams. But most of us are self-employed (even if we work in companies we tend to think like mavericks) and we have to rely on ourselves to be productive. Why limit your abilities to just those you have on your own? You don't need to, you know. You can access the skills and thoughts of lots of very sharp people. If you can find them, you don't have to go it alone!
