I was fortunate to find Focused Directions very shortly after starting my firm. I had the knowledge and experience to be a good lawyer, but I didn’t appreciate the nuances of owning my own business. Steve and my board have helped me to see and do things that hadn’t even occurred to me. Without their guidance, my business would be where it is today!
Christina GilbertsonGilbertson Law Office
In a world that seems to like to emphasize the negative, meeting with board members on a monthly basis is invigorating. Hearing about all the interesting businesses members are creating or leading to the next level keeps me inspired and pushes me to new levels of achievement. I love the accountability the group creates and the collaborative problem solving I get from the members and facilitators. The biggest benefit is seeing opportunities from others’ perspectives.
Chad Williams Aveo Capital Partners
My advisory board gives me the confidence to make changes in my business that make sense … I’m now willing to risk and I’m growing because of it. I no longer feel like an island. From every meeting, I walk away with at least one new idea that I can apply immediately that sticks with me. This makes all the difference.
Kirk EllisE J Painting & Fiberglass
Executive coaching has accelerated our ability to transition from being trapped as just a consultant to a firm being able to help even more firms with their Information Security needs. Without this coaching, we would have been likely stuck in the sole consultant business model.
Matt TitcombePeak InfoSec
Being a board member forces me to work on the business and not just in the business. I am held accountable for my ideas. If I tell my group that I want to do something, then I feel compelled to do it, report on its progress and even get feedback on how to do it better. And, I enjoy spending time with peers who are going through the same things.
Melissa BakerXeBee Records, LLC
I have found my board to be incredibly valuable. It has allowed me to expand my network greatly and thereby generate many new business relationships. My membership has also allowed me and encouraged me to shape the growth of my business effectively with the guidance of both Steve (my coach) and other experienced business owners.
Timothy ZercherA-Train Marketing
Rather than real estate expertise, what I needed was help with the business itself: how to manage people, the core motivators, what I want out of my business, and how my businesses fit together. After my 1st meeting, I completely restructured my company and turned everything around - from failing to growing. He delivers value every single time. Steve did a team session last month and it built the team and set us on a great trajectory. It’s worth every penny!
Darren SmithSolid Growth Properties
The insight my board offers about our challenges and/or new ventures is helpful in propelling momentum for action. I appreciate the accountability to the other board members and my coach. It helps to keep the attention on important projects and goals when other tasks can easily diffuse my focus and attention.
