The importance of trusted advisors.

Friday, July 24th, 2009 by Bobby Whitman

Simply put, we are so very lucky to have an incredible advisory board.

As young entrepreneurs we don’t have all the answers, in fact we don’t even have half the answers. Decisions we make come from our sense of logic and the limited related experiences we do have. And though we are fairly intelligent young men and rapid learners, we still struggle with many business decisions: should we pursue this project or that one? When do we hire on additional staff? The list goes on.

Thankfully, we do have an excellent advisory board, a small panel of true business experts that are kind enough to sit down with us once a month and help us grow our company. These guys are more than just legit business minds, they are also trusted friends that care about our success.

I think that makes all the difference. We know that no matter how much one course of action makes sense, if these guys say otherwise, we should listen.

Recently, our board has helped us form a plan for future growth and has put us on the path. More on this later.

In brief, having knowledgeable, trusted advisors allows us to work with confidence toward the success of our business as a whole.
