Most definitely, if you've ever felt like you:

Don't have the answers or solutions to your current business challenges?

Love talking about business?

Feel overwhelmed on where to start?

Like the insight from other business owners/leaders who have faced similar challenges?

Let critical tasks slide and feel stuck?

Feel alone with decision making?

Don't want a coach, rather a group of people to round out questions, ideas, and solutions?

Want the accountability of reporting back to someone to make sure ideas come to life

NO!! We are about business excellence, not networking. In fact, we actually require our members to clear it past the group before they do significant business with one another, to avoid generating a conflict of interest that could impact trust and transparency in the group.

NO!! Well, yeah - it is a little more like a Board of Directors, but more precisely a board of advisors. Your decisions are your own, based on where you're trying to go (do you know for sure?!) We use the LoCollaborative Process and the power of peer perspective, accountability, and encouragement to help accelerate your journey and even sometimes to better define the destination!

YES!! This is exactly the type of person who finds a comfortable and durable place in a LoCo Think Tank chapter. We build intentionally diverse groups of people who don't have it all figured out, but we're stronger together and working our way from good to great as small business owners.

WE DON'T KNOW!! We're only now starting to gather the kind of intake information that will allow us to see over time how much impact we're making to the bottom lines and emotional health of our members. But we've got tons of stories of transformative change, and a very durable membership base, and our members consider their chapter meetings and one-on-ones to be the most important hours they spend working on their business every month. We know that.

It depends! We don't hold all the cards on membership choices. First, you apply and connect with a LoCo Think Tank representative, to discuss the experience and expectations of members, and what you'd bring to a chapter. Then, we introduce you as a vetted candidate to a facilitator in your area that we think might be a good fit. If they agree, they are empowered to invite you to the next chapter meeting, subject to no discovered conflicts among members. Once the chapter gets to know you a little better, it's their unanimous consent required to add new members. Every new member should richen the flavor of the sauce, so to speak, and sometimes we have to make awkward phone calls and look for a better-fitted chapter.
