Our current members are older, younger, male, female, venture-backed, and bootstrapped. Some have had previous exits, own more than one related business, have international office locations, and work with distributed teams. All members are leading companies with revenue between $500,000 – $18,000,000 and a headcount of 5-65 people.

What are the expectations?
- Keep the discussion focused on getting answers for whoever is asking the question. Meaning… stay focused on the task at hand and not running off on a tangent that is not helpful to anyone.
- Be honest and open with your responses, This is not easy at first but over the next 3-4 months it will be much easier.
- Expect to be challenged and expect to be held accountable. If you say you are going to do something then we expect it to happen. The group can help you with an accountability partner.
- Share experiences, NOT what you read in a book. We want to hear about your experiences. We don’t want to hear what you read in a book. If you did it or a close personal friend did it in real life then please share.
- The information that is shared in the room, should stay in the room. There will be discussions like opportunities for someone to sell, the firing of employees, partner issues, and other non-public information, so it is important to keep within the group.
- Most importantly you have to be present to get value and to give value. Do your very best to ensure you have time set aside for each meeting. Things will come up but do your best to protect these two meetings each month.
- Ask for help. Every challenge you have is important. Please don’t think your issue is not important. One of the members may have a very simple solution BUT you are the only one who can bring it to everyone’s attention.
- Bring your A-game every month. Share what you know and challenge others if it doesn’t make sense to you. EVERYONE has a superpower that needs to be shared.
- This is a virtual meeting, everyone is asked to have their cameras on during the meeting. There will be times that you may be in an airport or a place that isn’t camera-ready, but do your best to be in a place where you can be seen.
- You must be able to share what you “really” know. If you are talking only to hear your voice expect to hear “Let’s move on”.
11. Believe: After the 3rd or 4th month this will be the most valuable few hours you spend each month because it allows you to work ON your business and not IN your business. If it is not, you should evaluate your membership.
