Business Round Table

Dave Flanagan, 23 Year Member, Sun Bakery & Equipment Sales Ltd.

It has been a great 20+ years. It is hard to summarize all the positive things that the group has helped me with—marketing, HR issues, accounting, strategic planning, personal issues, and other areas. It has been said that you can’t make every mistake yourself. This interaction with other business owners allows you to learn from other entrepreneurs with varied experiences and backgrounds. I could not recommend enough that every business owner find a group to join.

Chris Darrach, Rallye Motors

A sound secure environment to discuss different tactics and solutions to operate more efficiently.

Boyd Anderson

I feel, as a small business owner, that the BRT experience is valuable. I enjoy the opportunity to view business situations from different perspectives. I leave our meetings with a very positive frame of mind.

Paul Bloedow, TriR Systems

Tapping into the collective wisdom of other business owners to help you make your business better.

Jeff Kelly, Global Pet Food

A positive forum to get feedback on business issues of running a small business such as strategic planning, marketing, staffing, partnership issues etc.

Dave Flanagan, Ifoodequipment.com Inc.

I believe in BRT and what it can do for entrepreneurs. I think beyond a doubt this is the best move that they can do for the health of there companies and their own health!

Paul Robichaud, WIS International, 19 Year Member

Just a few words... When I joined BRT I completed the GOAL WORKBOOK. This was at the first retreat where you stepped us through the exercises of LONG TERM GOALS, STRATEGIC OBJECTIVE and the WISH LIST. I would admit that I did not complete the actual document until months later as I felt it required reflection. On occasion, I have revisited the document with updates. As I read it through I choose to modify my Mission Statement by one word. It still feels as appropriate today as it did 5 years ago. The GOALS are particularly interesting as the projections I had set aside for 2014 are 75% accomplished. This would suggest my perspective of what was achievable has to changed. (pessimist or optimist?) It just feels good to acknowledge how far I have come. The WISH LIST is fun. So far, I have checked off 18 of those 31 things I wanted to do. Some of the remaining seem lofty, but you never know. And I added two more to the list today. Anyway, the purpose of my writing is to thank you for creating the vehicle and motivation! Regardless of how long I remain a BRT member, (I have no plan to leave anytime soon. SMILE) I am sure I will keep this list as a part of my life for many years. I also hope my message serves to remind you that you are leaving your footprint on many business owners.
