Do I really have the time to devote to a peer group?
For many of us, the past 18 months has been an extremely challenging time on both a personal and professional level. As a an individual, you will have no doubt overcome unprecedented obstacles. However, the later part of 2021 is looking much brighter, with a road to recovery in place, we can all see light at the end of what has been an uncertain and dark tunnel.
There is no better time than the present for you to become accountable, seek guidance and wisdom from a group of like-minded business owners and share problems and solutions with those facing similar challenges. A peer group will provide this and so much more.
The power of a peer group
Have you ever heard the saying ‘birds of a feather flock together?’ Well, while this might be a figure of speech to some, it reflects a simple truth – the company you keep determines the level of personal and professional growth you achieve in life.
You might be thinking, ‘but I don’t have the time to attend a peer group.’
If global business tycoon, author and investor Sir Richard Branson can devote time to personal development and growth, then so can you. Even the top business leaders in the world exchange information and ideas, they build partnerships and work with leaders outside of their own field to accelerate personal growth. As business owners and entrepreneurs, you can provide a certain level of value to each other that you cannot find anywhere else.
Peer advantage transcends peer influence and is what business leaders experience when they are more selective, strategic, and structured in the way they engage their peers. Peer advantage gives you the insights and courage you need to elevate your personal and professional growth.
You know it makes sense - Peer groups are smarter than any one individual – and knowledge is power, right?
